Latest Gig at the Comedy Village in the Village

Well Finnaly, this place has a name that makes sense.. I had a spot a the Comedy Village the night before Halloween, no I didnt have to bark for it, as I hate that shit. the crowd was almost entirely from Europe, Belgium, London, etc.. etc.. with One angry Uganda resident, who looked more Pakistani, then Uganda, I hung out till about 12:30, when the crowd wittled down to about 10 or 12 exausted audince hostages all itching to look for the right moment to escape after 8 or 10 comics have graced the stage including barkers due spots for there indentured comedy club slavery. Expectations where low so I set out to go through some of my usual bits and forced my self to try out one new one , it had decent response but needs a bit more of my personal touch. I noticed the light, and queried if that if that infact was the light or there had been some technical dificulty. thank fully Johny D, let me know it was and that I had better close on something else, I pulled out the nervouse nyer on the q line and killed with that. the set was decent but its becomeing clearer and clearer that each room has its own vibe, the Comedy Village is primarily a work the crowd room, escpecially on a sunday afer midnight, maybe not if its packed on a sat, but its kind of one of those rooms you have to work the crowd and then do a bit, then work the crowd and then do a bit. I was followed by Todd Barry who happened to drop in, thankfully I closed with a good bit . I used to follow Todd at the Comedy Celler maybe 10 or 12 years ago when we where both late nigters at the cellar starting out, he was somewhat ahead of me on the ladder at the time. Todd went up and had very good set, his dry sarcasm and crowd work regarding how excited he was to be at such a hot gig had most of the comics and the crowd laughing. I need to create or find better gigs than this, and yet I need this kind of gig to experiment and work on new material .
its like you hate working a crappy audience for a laugh but at the same time it makes you a better crowd commic and gives you room to not feel so uptight about your material. None the less Im not sure how much longer these gigs will last being that I refuse to bark for the spot and have little Industry clout as of yet.

THE BROOKLYN TAKES MANHATTAN SHOW

Showtime was 9pm and I had no idea how many tickets where sold to my show or to the other 3 going on that night, to top it off I was having a panick attack , because only 1 of the comics I booked that night had showed up as far as I knew, somewhere around 9:05 the mic called me and let me knwo he was parking, followed by the other 7 or 8 comics randomly calling in the next 10 min, we started 9:15 with Rich Aronavich warming the packed crowd in into a comfortable state of giddyness and the night went very smooth, but I found that all the panic and lack of sleep the night before had some effect on me after about 10 min into my set, I think I will be bringing water with me If I am to do more than 10 min from now on. Im starting to realize that I dont write anything in the least bit funny in these updates nor do I plan to or not plan to. If any one is reading this , go to my next show and you will see some of the best standups in nyc, also interesting point , I noticed from variouse emails and things I read from sheckymagazine that alot of shows where cancelled, I had nothing of the kind because I was out there everday that week promoting the show to variouse tourists in the area and one of my strongest selling points was "this is the kind of show where you wont see alot of commics who have done cable or network tv, these comics are more on the cutting edge and nothing PC, people seemed fascinated ,
"really you mean none of that shit I see on cable !" was one ny'er reaction, yes that was my selling point "NO TV CREDITS , what so ever" and we had a packed houes.

Conocimiento Patriotico por los Mejores Maestros

Hoy fue la asamblea de los días festivos en septiembre en el colegio donde trabajo. A mí me encanó, con decirles que se me puso la piel de gallina y casi lloro. Tanto me burlaba de mi madre jajaja y estoy peor, porque ni siquiera son mis hijos. Declamaron, actuaron, bailaron, cantaron, de todo. Hubo una niña de 1 de kinder que cantó

TUESDAYS AT LARRYS NEW ROOM IN FORT GREEN AT 525 VERDERBILT

Did Larrys Invite only show in fort green , had a good time, audience was manily PRAT (art school ) College Kids, cool.
Place had interestingly experimental feel to it, tried a wierd thing where I took a ventriloquest act and used her on stage as my dummy, in some kind of surreal vision I had before I got on stage.
