“Dope A-F” - 4/11 - “Three Mics to the Wind”
YES YES YES YES! I am actually up to date so this will be a shorter one. I love it. I love keeping up with it. I love kisses, and hugs. I loveeeee youuuu laydees and baybees! Let’s do it.
I have had a trash week at work. I am dying. I am getting worn out, but I am so stoked because I get to get up three times today. So as soon as work ends I hope in my car and drive down to The Camel (hosted by Jameson Babbowski). My buddies Tom Hall and Jason Klingman were the headliners and I was the first one there.
I started to do some writing and then talked to Castagne on the phone for a bit. I got some bits worked out a bit (although they still need work I at least won’t be meandering through them). Tom showed up next. we got to talk and catch up a bit. Then other comics started filing in. Anthony came by for a bit before he had to leave and change for the other two mics that night. Then Buhse, Kusterer, Beau, Castagne and some others. 
Right before the show started there was an ok sized crowd. Looked like a few regular customers and some people waiting for the concert afterwards. Jameson went up and did some newer material. He did ok hosting, but he did have one joke hit really hard and then he got into the show. I was super into my writing because I had gotten caught up to talking to people before the show. The only person in the first three who went up that I got to pay attention to was Alex. He did pretty well, but he lost them a few times. I respected tf out of the fact when a bit didn’t work he still powered through. He was treating the mic like the gym and that’s the right thing to do. Kusterer went up after him and did the same. He focused on the material and that was right thing to do.
I managed to get three bits written out during the first three open micers. Which was good. I was ready to go up. The first headliner was Tom Hall and he had a fine set. He did some stuff I hadn’t heard before and got some pretty big pops. The crowd was a little reserved. I think because the show is so early and it is so bright outside. Also because of where we are performing the stage is backlit so as Kusterer/Hall pointed out in their sets it was like watching a silhouette do standup.
After Tom got off stage Klingman went up and did well. I love Klingman. He runs Wabi and is a super dope room. He had some stuff really hit, but he also had to work his ass off to get the room on his side. All in all I think they both had good sets.
Beau Troxclair was hosting the open mic portion of the show. So he did some political stuff including a bit about Trump being a sign of the apocalypse that was really funny. He then brought up two newer comics who did ok as well. 
I then went up and tried the bits that I had finally written out. For the most part they worked. The crowd had thinned out a bit by the time I got on stage, but the material was working. I had one bit not work at all because I really can not get the wording right. It is too clunky right now. I am going to table it for a while, and come back. The other two bits did well with the add ons. I’d give this set a solid C.  Very productive and I felt good about it.
After this I went outside to talk for a bit. After a while James Muñoz came out and said he was going to uber to Garden Grove. I told him I could drive him, and we headed over. It was good to catch up because I hadn’t talked to him in forever. We get there and there is already a few comics hanging out. Like Bert (who apparently had an incident the night before at McCormacks and got yelled at and grabbed again). Dude needs to not drink so much at shows if it’s sign to lead to confrontations like that, or at least respect what people ask. 
I talked to Bert about it and we joke around. Shoot the shit. Pearlstein, Ryan Mather (British Buhse), Anthony, Alex, Kusterer, and others show up. There is a nice little crowd here. I always struggle in this room usually, but it has been a crazy long time since I’ve ever been there. 
James goes up and is high energy. Some people leave, but the people that stay are a little quiet but attentive. He does some good riffing up top, and is has them ready. Great hosting job. Then he brings up Bert. He didn’t ride the wave of the energy at all, and kind of meandered through his set. You have to make people pay attention to you in these rooms sometimes, and this was one of those times.
After his set I was up next. I go up and people are talking, and I don’t do a ton of crowd work but I am trying to get them engaged. As my set goes on the laughs start to build. I am focusing on newer material and it is all hitting. I close on a strong laugh as well. This was a super fun and productive set. I got some good laughs and it built the whole time. I’d give this set a C+. Definitely places to improve, but I got better.
I then hung around a bit and waited to watch Anthony’s set before heading out. He had a hot one. Best one I saw that night in that room. All the stuff worked and he sold everything. I need to get better about really selling my material even at mics. I get self conscious. So when I see people like Anthony using his energy even at these mics it makes me realize I can be better.
I then headed to Penny Lane and the only other comic really there was Mike Engle. We talked about what he spent his tax return on, and what new games we wanted to play. There was a few people when the show got started, but they were paying attention so it was nice. A newer comic was talking to his friends and was like, “this is a good place to get started in comedy, this room can be hard. Usually there are some really great comics here (he then looks around and says) but none of them are here now.” It legit destroyed me. I laughed so hard when he said that. Like that is a comics fear and he worded it so perfectly.
The show started and  Jameson went up and did ok again but the same joke that killed earlier killed again and he closed on it. He then brought up Mike and he worked on some new and brought back some super old stuff to tighten up and add to. After him was Will Minor (newer comic who talks in a 1930s radio announcer voice on stage). Neither was able to truly catch the audience’s attention and I felt like this was going to be a long set.
I finally went up and had my best set of the night. I started slow, but slowly got them into my rhythm. I did a little crowd work just to get them to pay attention to. Two people were named Dakota and I riffed on that for a bit. I then went into the jokes I’d been working on all night. They were doing great. It was a super solid set with some big laughs (including a call back to Dakota). I’d give this a solid B. 
I hung out and talked for an hour or so with my friends to get caught up. We had a blast talking comedy and riffing in the back room. Anthony went up and had the set of the night. Just slaughtering dealing with the crowd (which had grown a bit and also got a little more rowdy). He then went into his material and everything was working. I will one day get over being self conscious at mics. Stuff like this inspires me. He’s been in the game and did it before me. So when he gets back in the groove like this it is super fun to watch and be around.
I then went downstairs to talk to him, Kusterer, and Ryan Mather. Kusterer brought up a comedian that I have had a problem with for a while but never speak about it. We got to talk and vent and it was super nice because I usually keep that stuff to me, but it had been weighing heavy on me. So him letting me vent and talking to me about it felt really good. I said my goodbyes and headed out. It had been a long but super fun day. I was ready for tomorrow!
THAT IS IT SWEETUMS! We got it. I am caught up and the blog is sweet. Thanks for reading and thanks for being adorable. xoxoxo til next time!

“Dope A-F” - 2/1-2/2- “Country Clubs and Meadery Fun”
Five super ridiculously fun sets spread across four shows this past weekend. Kind of a blast. Got to do some fun shows with some dope people. What more can you ask for from comedy. So let’s hop right into it my sweet sweet laydees!
2/1
Friday after work I headed immediately to my first show. I am booked to headline at Haley’s Honey Meadery in Hopewell VA. This is the second show they’ve done there. It is hosted and ru n by Sarah Pip Rose. A soft-spoken and super nice comedian. Her shows are always fun, and usually in pretty unique locations. Her and I had talked beforehand about what kind of show she wanted. She told me there is no content restrictions, but she prefers a more pg-13 show so I prepare a set that respects that.
I get there and Haley’s is a super dope spot. It is a super cool room. It is long and narrow with a bar on the side. They have a food truck outside, and also offer their own menu. There are a few people here when I arrive. Mostly older and white.
I go to the back of the room and hang with Mike Engle. He is one of the featuring comics on the show. We talk about his day job, upcoming shows, and his recent tour with his band The Alex Jonestown Massacre. A pop-punk band from RVA featuring three comedians. Dope band. Check them out.
Mu Cuzzo shows up dressed to the nines in a jacket and hat combination. He is the other comic featuring. He is also going first because he has to get back to RVA for the WRIR comedy showcase. We hangout, they get some drinks, we all order a little bit of food, All in all it is a good hang before the show starts.
Apparently the month before the show was completely packed out. They had people lined up all the way to the back. Unfortunately that was not the case this time. We had an intimate crowd of about 20 people not counting the staff. Which honestly isn’t awful. It is such a cool and dope room I am still excited with the prospect of hopefully a pretty fun show.
Sarah went up first and had a pretty good set. She got everyone to pay attention even though they were all spread out. She got some good laughs and really set the table nicely for the rest of the show. After her Mu went up. Mu has really improved over the last year or so of doing comedy. He is a great performer whose joke writing is catching up to his energy on stage (which is a good thing, this is the same track I was on when I started), He knows how to sell his jokes and connect with the audience. He has a pretty good set. He said it was the longest set he has done so far, and he did a good job weaving in and out of his material and didn’t have to check notes. All in all a strong set for the venue.
Then Mike went up. I don’t know if it was how he was holding his microphone or if the PA got messed up, but it was really hard to hear him. It sounded like the microphone was in his mouth. I know a lot of people were struggling to pick up what he was laying down. I think Mike is a funny dude, and he has some of my favorite jokes in the scene. This was an older crowd, and that is definitely a tougher sell for Mike’s act. He did his time, and delivered his material. Definitely respect that, and I think the set would have gone better if people could have heard him more clearly.
After he gets off stage. A group of people leave, because they are heading over to the Beacon Theatre for the Eagles cover band. Cover band’s will always beat free comedy. In the hierarchy of live entertainment the Eagle’s will always crush credit less comedians.
I get brought up on stage and start my act. I make sure the PA sounds good and go into my material. I am doing ok honestly. Like I am not killing, but I am supposed to do at least 30 and doing ok for 30 minutes is a living hell. After about 5 minutes I start doing crowd work. I am not doing anything crazy. I just start asking questions about what a meadery is. I talk about how nice the bathroom is. I am starting to build some momentum. A dude comes in a little into my set and I ask what he does. He says porn. This gets a pretty big laugh because of how unexpected it is. He forced my hand. I am headlining and honestly at this point do not care how dirty my set is going to be. I want to give this audience what they want, and I do not want to bomb. So I proceed to do 40 minutes of crowd work.
We talked about midget porn for about 15 minutes, and then I went around the room just riffing on what people are into sexually. The owner Haley is absolutely loving it. I talk to her and her husband. I also talk to her parents who were in the front row (Nancy and Bob). Nancy loved it. I was tying crowd work back to other members of the crowd. I made sure to interact with everyone who was there. I am absolutely killing for the 40 minutes. Everything is working, and it is unique and fun. One guy was a programmer of robots with drill bits, and I riffed about fashioning dildos to the machine. I tied that back to Nancy. I talked to a guy in the back who said he no longer masturbated because his wife forbid it. His wife was there so we went back and forth. Legit there is too much insanity in the 40 minutes to remember it all without listening again.
I’d give this set an A-. My material didn’t work, but I absolutely slaughtered. I get so much anxiety about comedy that when I haven’t done crowd work for this long in a while I worry I have forgotten how to do it. So it is nice to flex that muscle. After the show everyone came up to me and talked about how much fun they had. This is an awesome room. Honestly it is so cool that Hopewell has this meadery. I’d recommend this show/venue to anyone. The food and mead were great. The staff were super friendly, and I legit can not wait to come back.
After this I jetted over to do my second set at Wabi Sabi in Petersburg. This is one of the best/toughest rooms around. You really have to work for it, but when they are on board with you it is one hell of a ride.
Jason Klingman was hosting as usual and we had a dope lineup. We had Nick Deez (doing his first set at Wabi), Benjie Saunders (who was coming back from a extended break from standup), Dylan Vattelana, Anthony Thompson, Kenny Wingle, and myself.
The hang is great, everybody is laughing and joking around. The crowd looks dope, and the energy is good. We are all ready to get this thing started. Klingman goes up first and has a super good hosting set. He was feeling himself and the audience was vibing from the beginning.  The energy kept building and it just felt like it was going to be an amazing show.
Nick and I’s buddy Bryan Williams showed up to support us. Nick is up next. He starts out super strong. His first 5 minutes his jokes are hitting super hard. The second half the energy changed. I had walked out of the room for a minute to write my set down, and when I came back it just felt different. He was still doing well, but he was having to work for it.
After him was Benjie. You could tell he was rusty. He hadn’t been up in a while and it showed. He was having a difficult time capturing the audiences attention. There were four birthday’s being celebrated and people were pretty intoxicated. By the time he got off stage the energy was just depleted. It was insane that this was the same audience as Klingman’s set. It didn’t feel that way. It felt like they had all realized they hated comedy.
I go up next. As I get on stage a table of 8 or 9 people were putting their coats on and getting ready to leave. I wasn’t gong to let that happen. I was still riding the confidence and the high from the first set of the night. I jumped right into crowd work. It was one lady’s birthday in the group so I talked to her. I busted her balls and started talking to her about dating. This is going well and some of the people who had walked out came back in. I start ridding back and forth between the two sides. The momentum starts to build and the laughter comes back. I’m working my ass off to get the energy right. As I am finishing up a heckler comes in. I don’t really have time to deal with it, but I am definitely happy with the set. I’d give it a B.
After me that table leaves anyway, and the energy goes back to normal. Dylan tried to do his material, but the audience was being wack and not giving his jokes the attention they deserved. He eventually answered the phone for a drunk woman and talked to her boss. I really hope he got her fired. She was awful.
Anthony was up next and he went into his act as well. Another set full of dope jokes, but the crowd was just being super weird. I don’t know what was up. I really think they were all just super hammered. Wingle went up last to his new walk up song. He did some crowd work and it felt like a high school reunion because some lady kept talking to him. I think they knew each other but I could’t make it out. It ended up just turning into a birthday party for one lady. They brought out a damn cake and singing. Wingle handled it like a pro, but it was one of the weirder shows I’ve seen.
During the show I was just so ecstatic about my two sets I was jamming food in my mouth. In the way of Calimari and homemade Oreo cheesecake. The shit was so good. I can’t wait to get booked there again so I can have that exact meal.
We all went back up at the end to do Sex With Me is Like. Which is one of my least favorite things to do. I don’t know it’s just not for me. I am so fearful of saying something unfunny that I end up saying nothing. I get in my own head and I have to get over that. Everybody else had great lines and were doing super well. I just kind of sat back and let it happen.
We all hung out for a bit at Wabi after the show before I had to head home. All in all it was a super fun night. Even with the weird show at Wabi. I had a blast.
2/2
Now I was stoked because today was going to be a doozie. I had been booked by the DC Improv to host for Tim Dillon (Netflix, Comedy Central) at the Bethesda Country Club in Bethesda MD. I was exhausted from the night before so I slept in for a bit, before meeting up with some friends to watch the VT vs NC State basketball game at BWW. After this I took a super long nap and then headed to Fairfax to meet Chris.
I get there and meet up with Chris/Paige/TJ at Tj’s place. We chill for a bit before all going our separate ways. Chris and I head to Bethesda. We get to the country club and it is crazy nice. Everyone is super kind to us and we help ourselves to the buffet before the show.
The food was ridiculously good. The buffet had chicken, filet mignon, salmon, lamb chops, sushi, and so much more dope stuff. It was an open bar for the comics. Chris and I pack our plates and then go pig out. 
Tim Dillon gets there and he is a nice dude. He talks to us and jokes around so it is actually pretty fun. He does have a tendency to ask us questions just to set up us asking him the same question so he could brag. I could just be projecting, but it just felt like ehe was asking us what we were going to do for the Super Bowl so he could tell us his dope plans. Still incredibly nice and funny guy,. He hung with us and he didn’t have to. I am used to some headliners not wanting to hang out so this was dope.
The show starts and I go up and have a pretty good set. Nothing too wild or crazy, but I was definitely doing well. I’d give it a solid B for the first set. I didn’t do a ton of crowd work and I lost them on a KKK joke (they said they were a diverse crowd, but they were white as hell). I got them back in the end and got an applause break to end my set.  
I bring up Naomi Karavani and she has a fine set. They’re digging her stuff and she ended strong. This show is really starting to roll. Then Chris goes up and he absolutely murders. He just owns the stage. Honestly if there wasn’t an intermission after him I think he would have kind of buried Tim Dillon. Everything he does works, and even when it doesn’t kill the way he wants it to he is able to get a huge applause by telling the audience they’re wrong. He also tires this joke that he and I riffed I the car and it absolutely murdered. It was so dope to see him have a killer set. 
They then have a ten minute intermission so people can go to the bathroom. After the intermission I go back up and do a second set. I use my set to get people to sit down, and then do a little crowd work. I know this set is just to get people ready to see Tim. I do a couple quick jokes about teaching and end on a huge laugh. I give this set a B as well. I bring Tim up and he gets right to work. I decide to go hang with Chris and Naomi for a bit.
We are eating, and talking shit. Going over different types of body shaming. What is and is not ok. It all in all is a great hang. Then we all head back to watch the last fifteen minutes of Tim’s set. He is doing well, but he isn’t murdering the way he was earlier. Maybe they were a little tired I don’t know. He switches to crowd work and it starts to destroy. He ends on a super huge laugh. 
We all say goodbye and thank everybody involved. We all get in Chris’ Prius and drive to Big Hunt for the late night open mic. We get there and meet up with Paige. There are a bunch of other comics there hanging out. The more I go up to DC the more comfortable I get. I love talking and hanging with these people.  Chris goes up fifth and has a killer set again. He had me record his Governor Northram bit and it kills again. A really good video. 
I go up ninth and have a hot one. I am ridiculously proud of the set I had. I’d give it an A-. It feels like the jokes I did are pretty much done. The audience was super into it, and this weekends sets are a stark contrast to the three bombs in a row I had earlier in the week. I am still working on understanding that bombing is part of the process. It’s a shit part of the process, but it’s part of it nonetheless. 
That’s it laydees. What a fun hot weekend. I took Sunday off to be with family and watch football. I felt like I earned it. I love comedy again, and am feeling good. At least until my next breakdown. Thanks for reading and I’ll see you sweeties soon! xoxo
