AllTheWrongWords Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Gross dude you 'hear' him. That's total homo. So I had my second show last night and none of my own people who said they were gonna go went except for like one co-worker. I partially bombed with the exception of my co-worker, his buddy and a couple other dudes chuckling. Place had like 18 people in it with like 6 or 7 paying attention. Halfway through I became uneasy, a lil awkward and misplaced with my joke line/flow. Mostly because I didn't do the intro that I wanted and some dude's stare totally threw me off. Basically I'm the wed/sun host's only standup guy and he wants me to return weekly. Telling the same set if I want and I probably will. The jokes are good the delivery needs 'hella' work.

MedicineCabinet Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 damn, you totally called me out on how i was actually listening for "gay vibes" & trying to match its frequency to my own nice. this week, i stood up at two shows as well. one of them was at a new place; it went alright hopefully, four sets next week, with another new place... i want to try making a habit of going on at least three times a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UPS! Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 ATWW dont sweat it fool, fuck em theyre siiting there listening to YOU talk. So even if you bomb you have more guts than they do. Its your second show, no one becomes Louis C.K overnight. Just work on delivery and practice your jokes more on rides in the car, shower etc. MC, good shit. I wish I had time to do that many shows but school is kicking my ass. Id like to do atleast once a week though and work my way up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicineCabinet Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 it is because i am a loser; in other areas of responsibility, i accomplish in a week what most do in a day... in reality, i should be doing nothing but looking for a new job right now the wheel grinds on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedicineCabinet Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 have fun dude did not go on monday because i was feeling unwell did two sets last night... they were fun. i only went to the second place to make up for the fact that i ate shit for the first minute & a half at the first place. at said first place, a group of high school kids came & sat in the front near the end of the show... we had a great time ripping on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UPS! Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I feel like I didnt do as well as my first time. The worst part is they introduced me like I was Jesus of lolz or something, and I started off slow first 3 jokes didn't go as well but as I got warmed up started bringing the lolz. I didn't practice at all and it makes me upset because I feel all of my material was gold. All the homies keep telling me it was great i just go too fast. Im back to the board and putting my heart back into it, it was still an amazing night. Cant wait for my next set, this shit is awesome.

MedicineCabinet Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 i have heartfelt regrets about my last two sets as well next time, br0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicineCabinet Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 anyone still rocking this? i have not gone up this week, nor have written many jokes; tuesday had to be dedicated to the meaningless hallmark holiday & i have been pissing blood for the rest of the week last night, a friend hooked up tickets to yuk yuks & we all checked out the place for the first time. it was fun, the couple in front of us got ripped on relentlessly between job-hunting & fixing my plumbing, i will find some stage time this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UPS! Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Still rockin it, just been on the backburner since ive had a moutain of shit to do. Found a couple more places that do open mics here in Rva so ill be doing more gigs than ive been doing(2) Looking forward to it though, been writing and saving up material so my next stand should be pretty good.

MedicineCabinet Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 nice. i feel like you definitely rehearse your bits more & are generally better prepared two sets last week... one new mic - i got lucky & won a lottery spot on my first night attending. i ate fucking dog dick for the most part, though one set today - it went fairly well... i basically described my psycho mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crime stoppers Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 ive always wanted to, but ive only got a bit of situational humour going for me. prerehearsed jokes sound ridiculously forced when i try them. also i get a weird kind of stage fright. i can publicly speak with real confidence, but as soon as i try acting or throwing jokes/accent in i freeze up. not sure why, but i can only speak naturally on stage.

theprotester Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 You're funny to look at though, so that's a start. @Accents: Fuck me. No matter what accent I start off with I always end up sounding like a retarded Jamaican. WHY? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crime stoppers Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 i think the only photos ive ever put up of myself on 12oz are me wearing a kangaroo jumpsuit and a flag padlocked onto me, so i assume i would like funny, i just dont see myself doing stand-up like that. as ive learned over the last 7 months. the aussie accent, in and of itself, is a joke. people giggle their asses off when i do the full "g'day mate, im a true-blue, dinky-dy, occa battla'." i actually had a few dudes at karneval challenge my aussie-ness (despite my costume), after giving them that speech, they believed, and laughed.

UPS! Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I never thought I had the quite of humor to do rehearsed humor either, but if you have any notion at all to try it, you defiantly should do it once. Ive never had a problem speaking, acting, whatever in front of people, probbaly the only hard part is if you fuck a joke up or catch crickets, but its part of finding your comedy. Only had one gig this whole month, but I have quite a few places scheduled in March. Ill be sure to keep you fools updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicineCabinet Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 pro & stopper, you dudes should definitely try it... i think everyone should at least once - it is a good ego check & shit would probably suppress a tumor or the like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicineCabinet Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 my life is in ruins at the moment; this is unfortunately on hold, although i am still writing jokes nevertheless, feel free to rant here about anything regarding comedy, updates to your shows, & such saw this dude on stage somewhat recently - he was pretty funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
