It was a good show and a fantastic line-up. I expected about 60 people to show-up. How many showed up? 18. What happened? I don't know about you, but 10 bucks for a quality show is much better than some of the crappy movies we pay in excess of. Chad Heft brought a handful of people so in regards to the size of the room, it felt a lot less dense than a real comedy show should feel like.
As for my set, I did about 13mins of material - my longest set to date. I feel really good about it too. I was calm and relaxed. I looked at my notes a lot but I didn't need to because I knew all of it. I guess I just needed a safety net.
Soon after the show, I posted it on Facebook and YouTube. Why pay $10 for a show and drag your ass out of your house when you can watch 13 minutes of my set in the comfort of work? It seems like to be the alternative for most people. This is good and bad. It's good because I'm seeing the positive feedback on my set from people who have viewed the video. It's bad because the same people viewing the video should be in the audience contributing to the laughter in the room. More laughter in the room always equals more quality performance. I don't know.
I've got another show scheduled for the 16th of October. Here is the line-up: Eric Myers, me, Jim Pate, John Habel, Chad Heft and Lee Willis. Hopefully there will be more people at this show.
