Review - Performance

Day 157 (209) – Se7en

Ahh, 7 shows in 7 days – not too shabby.  Tonight was the finals of the “Funniest Person in Cincinnati” at Go Bananas, and it was a lot of fun.  And even though I didn’t win, I did have fun.  I performed my set moderately well and a lot of great friends and family came out and showed their support (thank you everyone, you guys have been amazingly supportive).

So now that my week of stand-up is over, what next?  Well, us Smarty Pants guys have a family-friendly improv comedy show this weekend at the Newport Funny Bone (let me know if you’re interested in a buy 1 get 1 free ticket).

Additionally, I want to actually keep up with the whole stand-up thing.  Ever since I started, it seems like I’ve gone in spurts (perform every week or so for a month or two, and then take two to three months off).  I want to actually try to perform at a minimum once a month for the rest of the year.  That will help me work on new material and make sure I stay fresh like the prince of Bel Air.

And of course this blog is a big help with that.  With “A Play a Day in May” behind us, I can return to making “jokes and jokes and jokes – spaghetti, spaghetti, spaghetti” (thank you, Dave Chappelle).  So with that in mind, I leave you with a joke about laughing:

A group of hyienas have started a company and will begin publicly trading shares on Monday – which is quite ridiculous, they will be the laughing stocks of the entire market…
