Yesterday at the Yale
I did comedy for the Blues For Books charity event at the Yale yesterday. At first I thought I bombed but it wasn’t as bad as I originally thought. The obvious excuse is that everyone was there to listen to the blues musicians (Kenny ‘Blues Boss’ Wane & Garry Preston), who were awesome by the way. But the thing was being on stage with the light in my eyes and a dance floor between me and the audience really reduced the feedback (I couldn’t see or hear them). This freaked me out and my mouth went pasty, and I found myself cutting about 3 minutes of my set. Luckily I had things rehearsed well enough that I didn’t really have to thing as I did it, so I doubt one could tell from my voice how I felt.
My fellow comedians assured me I did fine and after reviewing the tape 9to make sure there was laughter) it was okay (considering the fact that there was comedy wasn’t even on the bill).
All things considered great experience and it was cool to meet some other comedians out there, as I’m yet to really get into the comedy scene.
