OLEG'S NY COMEDY SCENE AND OPEN MIKE BLOG

I think I might be changing the name of this site soon, or I might be ahead of my self , but Iv been doing spots at pips on weekends, latest update I went over to pips to catch the 11 pm show and see if I can get a spot, initially I was told no, because 5 other comics had shown up who regularly play here, one of them mysteriously left, leaving me the opportunity, the 11pm audience was a rare treat in that it was packed and the group consisted of very well dressed adults, the room was hot. One of the owners decided to turn the night into a contest for those of us doing short guest spots, I paid little attention to this and resolved my self to remember to try out at least one new bit, I went on right before the head liner "JJ RAMIREZ" , following the other 3 contestants and immediately went into a character I often open with, the set went great in spite of realizing that I had forgotten to do anything new as well as forgetting a hair piece wig I use for a another bit just as I hit the stage. I won the contest as well a paid weekend spot( I’m not sure what the date is) , could this be the start of something positive I hope so, also the owners are producing a Russian comedian them night for May 27th, 28th weekend.
