A couple of weeks ago... well, June 4, 2009 to partake in exactedness... I got up on stage at ACME Comedy Club and gave my shot at the "Funniest Person in the Twin Cities" contest that they run yearly.
I'd been on a stage before, but only for business presentations.
Simply, my first minute... I was terrified. Holy cat poo. I stammered and nearly ran off stage. My first joke bombed and that was almost the shortest comedy career ever. But I did hang in there and got some laughs going... enough to make me think I should try it again.
Oh, I also go my mic cut off... that blew.
Do I have to say it? I failed to win that night and I won't be up for the championship rounds... but, my faithful followers... I'm not giving up.
The following Monday, I gave it another try and this time, it was much more fun. My first joke, which was an ad lib... didn't do so hot... but I was happy I felt comfortable enough to say something off the top of my head. I recovered and got into my jokes and got some laughs.
I did however goof ... and feel like a under-educated punk. I started with a joke about being a priest... and when I closed out my little set, I referred myself as a comedy reverend... not only LAME but completely wrong.
Oh shit. Until I try again... and I will... so hang in there.
