First time hosting

I hosted Tomato Tuesdays tonight, but I was so wired I forgot to turn my camera on.

So I ruled. Tore the house down. And I will maintain that position until someone produces video evidence to the contrary.

February 16 at Tomato Tuesdays

February 16 at "Tomato Tuesdays at the New French Bar" in Asheville, NC. I took some good advice from a friend and dropped Kermit/Motown and Popeye (for now). Not giving up on either one, but I need to really finish both. I've been going out half- baked on both bits, just because I love their concepts.

February 9 at Tomato Tuesdays

Had a lot of fun with this one. I finally found a place to practice, and I was able to run the set out loud a few times beforehand. Before-hand? Before hand?

Took the week off to write and practice. Went to see the last half of Tuesday's open mic at The New French Bar, and it was a lot of fun.

I enjoyed doing this set, but it still suffers from a lack of the confidence that will come from practicing it over and over. I can still be spontaneous and mix it up, but I have to be very comfortable with my delivery and timing.

At Coffee Underground 1-25-10

A short set at Coffee Underground. Tried a new bit, and I had about 50% success -- the material worked, but the visual fell apart. I knew what I had in mind when I fell down, but I didn't communicate it to the audience at all. Feeling more comfortable and having a lot of fun.

Regional Showcase

Friday and Saturday, I saw some local comics perform at Funny Business' Regional Showcase in Asheville.

They were terrific. I'd seen several of their acts before, but even those seemed fresh to me polished up and presented in this exciting venue.

What was really fun, though, was seeing their faces after the show, as they mingled with the crowd. They were on fire -- thrilled with the show, burning with excitement, coming down off the thrill of the evening.

It's inspiring. It makes me want to write and practice. Way to go, folks.
