Derby City Doubletakes, Etc.
I went to the comedy club last wednesday to do what I was told would be a ten minute set. I practiced all my little jokes all week and had all ten minutes of shit to talk about. Then, about ten minutes before I am going onstage, the guy who runs the show tells me he will give me the light (the cue that means I have one minute left) after I've been on for five minutes. So at this point I kind of started to panic. What do I throw out, what do I keep, what will I have time for???
So I did the "Derby City Doubletakes" and still no light (it only took three and a half minutes). So I start pulling stuff out of the air from the old set from ten years ago (bumper stickers)... still no light. Then I decided to do some more of what I intended to talk about and just as I started that... light! But he did say there was no hurry, finish up and don't go over seven minutes.
All I can say is that I seem to think on my feet in the spotlight ALOT better than I used to.
Then the mc fucked up my intro!
And just WTF did she mean by "You can clap louder than that"?????
