Random Rant #55: Comedy Is Hard!

Okay so it's 1:30 AM and I have a crazy-go-nuts day this Friday. I'm frantically getting my notes together because I'm doing two back-to-back shows tomorrow--and they're both in Connecticut. The first show is at a place in Middletown full of poets and musicians (which means my jokes will most likely fall on deaf ears) and the second show is at my alma mater (it's called Punchline...geddit?). I NEED both shows to go well: (1) because I need a good tape to shop around and (2) because my self-esteem can't take any more rejection.

I keep thinking I have no material; I have nothing to say. I've done all these open mics and they've caused me to have no faith in myself. All I hear is "You're too young, you have no right to complain."

But you know what, I do! And I have plenty of shit to say. You're reading about a guy who was told he didn't have enough "filing experience" and whose parents think he's going to law seminars instead of comedy shows.

So if you see me at either of these shows tomorrow, I warn you I am letting the full crazy angry psychotic me out. Hope you're entertained!

Also, laugh hard if you see me. Because this tape needs to be off the hook! Seriously.
