Venue: The Spot cafe
I'll be returning to this lovely cafe tomorrow, to ply my craft and see what works. It's penance for not going out tonight, which I admit I should have. Le sigh.
The thing is not that I don't want to perform, it's that I have other things on my mind. I'm trying to balance schoolwork with whatever semi-social life I have, and balancing that with comedy. Couple all that with my general apathetic nature towards actual work and the ill-founded belief that I am owed this, and things will have to change.
I think the attitude I'll have to adopt is that I am owed nothing. I have to earn and work for every laugh. I deserve the silence, I work for every laugh.
I listened to this performance. It wasn't terrible, but there is a lot of silence on my part. I think this means I have to practice more. I'm not going to try and present myself as something I'm not, but I have to present myself as something. Defining myself as a character might help.
One of the comics said I did a good set. Thanks, man. I didn't actually do a good set, but I'll take what I can get.
