Blegh. I’m all pumped up on my mic rip from the stand method. So I’m trying to go out and do as much stage time as I can. But man, it sure is a bummer sometimes.

The first set I did that night wasn’t that bad. It was at the Sunday Scramble at the Comedy Spot. Giuliana hosted the Scramble. Probably the cutest host ever with all the bows and curtsies and dancing that she always does. Then she brought me up with an awkward intro to top it off. They said they wanted to hear jokes so I told a couple. I got the tape but I made the focus on the camera all blurry for some reason. At least the audio isn’t blurry.

Then I drove over to On the Y. But. Not much going on there. I got to do a set anyway, but it was pretty much pointless with all the kooks that hang out in that place. I turned on my camera but forgot to press record.

Then I went to the one at Touch o’ Class. They said they would put me on, but then I waited an hour and a half and it didn’t happen. Waste of time, and I had to sit there and watch a bunch of comics yell dick and pussy at the crowd and they ate that shit up too. As if it wasn’t depressing enough already. “Work sucks so it’s refreshing to go on on the last day of the weekend and get dick and pussy yelled at us for 3 hours before we have to start the week again. Week after week after week. And it never gets old!” Can’t imagine what it would be like to be one of those people.

Here’s the recording from the Scramble: http://youtu.be/lRDu37-Xm3U

I’ve been wanting to try this thing for a while where I pull the mic out of the stand really fast, but I kept forgetting to do it. I’ve also been wanting to experiment more with noises. So tonight I went to the Scramble and combined the two. I walked out on the stage and […]

Some friends wanted to sing karaoke tonight kind of, but, that all went to shit. You know why, because Dorian Foster decided to change ages, and not only that, but then he invited me to perform on his special “Birthday” show, which made me feel like I had to pass up on the karaoke, relieving […]

I went to this open mic/competition thing tonight at the old time bar. Someone has to go on last, but it always sucks when it has to be you. It was me. Going on last doesn’t equal headlining. Not only that, but the sound system sucked balls. Maybe that’s what was wrong with it: someone’s […]

I got to do a set at the Lockdown Brewery again tonight. It took them forever to figure out what they wanted to do. They had like six options at first, finally someone said they wanted to hear some jokes. I told the bathroom series I’m working on right now. Then I told the pirex […]

Tonight I said “I’m going to go to the Comedy Spot Scramble, sign up, eat at Azul, do a set, run around the perimeter of the downtown grid, get cleaned up, go to the Boxing Donkey, and then go back home.” What I ended up doing was signing up at the Scramble, eating at Azul, […]

I’m in LA for a week helping my dad clean up my grandmothers house after it was tented for termites. So I thought, I’m gonna try and do some sets. Tonight I had time for one, so I checked out thecomedybureau.com. They had a long list, so I asked my friend Sammy 1k Obeid which […]

Did the Blacktop again this Thursday. Lot of Sac comics rolled in. I asked what they wanted to do. I forgot a lot of the things they said, but I can’t forgot this one guy John said he wanted to rape my mouth. Oh yeah, Luke Soin wanted to eat Jelly Beans, but he couldn’t […]

I needed to deliver my flyers for The Rejects of Standup show on Oct 25th to the guys in SF, since thats where the show will be. I also wanted a set. So I drove down there and went do Dirty Trix. Chris Schiappacasse was there and he let me have his set since he […]

Tonight I went to the Boxing Donkey after not going for a while. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to go, but I work nearby and it starts late, so it’s hard to drive home and then want to go back out again. Oh shit, I just remember I bought stuff from Trader Joe’s and […]
