Well tomorrow I compete for the title of “Funniest Person in Cincinnati” (Go Banana’s Comedy Club, 8pm) and I’m a bit nervous. Luckily I had a bunch of sets this weekend to work on material, and have what I think is a solid 5-minute set. I just hope the audience agrees.

Really, I just want to have a good set and have a lot of fun… Ok, that’s partially a lie, but it’s the right thing to say isn’t it? “It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game.” Ummm, yeah, not so much. Sure it’s certainly about just having fun and doing well, but it’s also about winning. Are wars just about how you “play?” Well France, we admire the way you fought that war, lining up like that and being all gentlemanly, but we won, so welcome to slavery and oppression.

Now I am in no way suggesting that stand-up is like war – though there is some violence involved. You can die on stage or completely bomb, or the audience can be dead. And if you do well, then you’ve killed.

I guess what I’m really trying to say is that I’m really excited for tomorrow. I just hope I put on a good show, the people that come support me have a good time, and it becomes just a fun night all around.

…. and I win ; ).
