OK, to my TAP family, friends, and fans I have been having net access problems over the past week and that is why you haven't seen much of me. I haven't faded in the sunset. I have been around and been up to doing my standup bit.
Last night (11/07/06) I went on stage again at Phil Brady's in Baton Rouge. Since it was only my secodn time on stage there and my third overall my A material is all my material. Also, I went on after a great comedienne who hit her material and killed (to those unfamiliar with standup that means had a great set and had the crowd roaring with laughter). The three comedians before her were killing them as well. Without trying to make any excuses or sound like I'm making an excuse, My best material is at maybe a 6 or 7 compared to theirs being a 10. In otherwords, I was following a tough act. I can't say I bombed, well mayne I hit an asprin factory.
Bombing in comedy happens. Ask the most seasoned and successful comedians, even the best in thie biz like George Carlin, Jerry Seinfeld, Dennis Miller, Dennis Leary, and whoever else you can think of who do standup for a living and they will all say that they have bombd and continue to bomb. I did get some laughter but it wasn't as well received as the previous act. My inexperience showed yet again, however, I did better than the previous time according to some. I know I need to reherse my material more, keep going at it, and not give up. I am by no means dissappointed with my performance last night.
Ther eis sort of an instinct among those who are considered naturally funny or a "sixth sense" of knowing when to cut the set short. I cut my set short last night. I wasn't pissed off or saddened. I just realised that it just wasn't my night on stage.
Like a proud and noble warrior, I'm gloing to go back on stage tonight. This tie it is at Lucy's in New Orleans. It's another open mic night and another chance to test, polish, and share my material. I'm probably going to do my cats and dogs bit, my colonic bit, and my daffy duck getting laid bit. Sometimes I end up with a set list on paper and in my head and by the time I hit the stage I've ended up changing my set some. Some of the best in the business do that. Robin Wiliams, George Carlin, and Drew Carey are among those who often change their set as they go.
Well, I'm still learning the game and thus I must work on the actual work and not go by the textbook. A career takes years to build. That is true in just about every field of work, especially in the entertainment field. Well, folks I probably have bored you shitless by now and so I'll just get to the funny stuff then leave it to you folks to dissectd, comment on, and all.
To you ladies out there, I am better than a rodeo cowboy because my rides last longer than 8 seconds guaranteed. If I fail to meet my guarantee you get to kick me in the nuts for free. Also remember that it is good to get a breast exam, even better if you let me to the eamination. Guys, do get your prostates checked but you're on your own there.
Every time you mastrubate, God kills a kitten. Thus I have been responsible for the deaths of many kittens and Britney Spears has caused many a man to kill a few kitties.
Opinions are like assholes everbody has one, they're usually full of shit, and frequently stink.
