May Balls, work, and the comedy gig
May balls went ok (even snuck a kiss from some girl who also enjoys women) got so pissed I fell down ALOT, and thats about it
gonna go to cambridge on friday, but am currently trying to tell john i dont have anywhere near as much money as they do. Everytime I go there Jon regulates the money, so fucking much, I have no money and the amount of times weve (inc keef, who tends to become a huge fucking cunt when jons in ear shot just to make jon laugh) had clashes over fucking money. They just dont seem to get that i dont have much, and cant do some things. Fuck, if I worked full time there would be no problem, but I dont, its not like i want anything from them for free, just SOME understanding that iam a poor unemployed student. I just want to go there,and not have jon mention money. I dont have any, and I dont think its unfair that I want to see my mates without it costing me the earth.
Did stand up last night. Its safe to say it was my worst performance, I had alot of trouble writing this on the day, then an hour before the writers block lifted, i wrote quickly, and printed it off and took it with me, there was no hope in hell of memorising it, so i decided to drink, and place it on the chair on stage as a cheat sheet. unfortunatly, it looked so......fucking amateur....and while i got laughs, i also got my fair amount of silence, and then i got my words mixed up....and the good girl thing made me some kind of enemy to the female drama students. I dont think they realised that half, if not all of the stuff i said was complete bollox, but still, they probably all think im a knob to boot.
Sean, scatman dave and others said i did well, that it was a cold audience, but unfortunatly i believe the audience isnt stupid. They will laugh if its funny. Looks like i have alot of work to do to gettit sorted. Matt in the hat, patrick and the hippy where probably the most honest, and basically said between them, i dont have to be so self depracating, learn your stuff more but leave more room to improvise, and dont be afraid to go off course and talk to the audience. Well, ill give that a go.
Two surprising things happened, Big Dave was funny, his new "im going to be so offensive everyone will want to kill me" worked! i thought, and said "dont do it, ull get murdered" but he did it, and it took balls and he was funny. Then Studley took to the stage without planning anything, and while it was a little disjointed, he got laughs. Mike seems to have gottit, with a little planning behind it, he should do well.
At the same time, felt good to be up there again, and i decided im not gonna quit. This isnt going to be one of those fascinations ill have for all of a week then move on. Open mic nights iam going to enter, get experience, then maybe after uni if i think im good enough, have a go at being a pro. screw it, whats the worst that can happen.
right, im off to probably send another email to jon about this money horseshit.
