Open mic 5

Date: 14 October 2010
Venue: Hamilton Hotel

So, how'd it go?

Eh. It wasn't anything special. Kind of shit, actually.

But this is open mic #5. That mean's you're 1% of the way there

And your point?

If this is 1% of how funny you're capable of being, think how good 100% is gonna be like

Huh. That makes me feel better. Thanks, unconscious mind.

Here's the story: This was the last night ever at the Hamilton. Ever.
EVER.
I mean, even Shayne Hunter (who's probably top-3 of the open mic-ers here) bombed. Usually he doesn't, and I'll spare you the analysis of how it happened, but it is a bit reassuring knowing that even the best guys have bad nights.
No more of that shitty room for me. Now it's nothing but steak and chips. Except not. See, much as I hated the nights where nothing happens and nobody laughs, (all... 3 of them so far) it's kind of relaxing. There's no pressure. If I only do the Newmarket, I've got a few less labs to try new stuff out. So... I gotta try and get in at The Bank on Wednesdays.

OOH OOH! There's a picture of me doing comedy out there somewhere, Courtesy of Mad Mike Bennett. Nice guy, that Mike. I'll get it here soon.
