I've tried writing this blog at least 3 times and everytime something has gone wrong and the entry has been deleted or effed up hardcore. Hopefully this time will work
out.
Since Monday was Memorial Day there was no ACME, so I went to an awkward barbeque instead and almost passed out - possibly due to the questionable meat being cooked there. It was a comedy free weekend - however, tonight I'm going to Jitter's 99 Cent Comedy Hour and Grumpy's Death Comedy Jam on Washington to try out my three condensed minutes of comedy genius for the contest.
Speaking of the contest, it's coming up right fast. Next week, in fact, is the first night of the competition. Wednesday night, 5 comics will go head to head to see who really is the "funniest person in the Twin Cities." I got my date for the contest - Thursday June 21st at 8pm so mark your calendars! I'm getting a little nervous just typing about it, but I really shouldn't worry. A.) half of these comics have never actually been onstage before and B.) it's not the end of the world if I don't win the contest much less the night (every night, one comic wins and gets some rinky dink prize - Tommy got an Xtra Large Rolling Rock t-shirt on his night).
It'll be really cool to perform in front of a paying audience. Apparently the weekday audiences are much different than Monday's. Some other comics have said that weekday audiences expect less than Monday audiences, which is weird to me because weekday audiences pay and Monday audiences just drink. Maybe it's because the Monday crowds are generally the same folks who come out weekly or twice a month or so to check out the new comers and the weekday audiences are folks who've never seen standup live or are just there for a bachelorette party. Hopefully they'll be easier to please - we shall see.
Alright, that's it for now - C.Blo out.
