Dremos

The show at Dr. Dremos in Arlington (easily one of the if not the best open mic in the DC area) last night really stunk. I was ungood. The crowd was not into the show at all. This was made worse by a couple of the comics yelling at the crowd and some other comics stopping their sets and calling out people who were talking to pass the time while said comic was bombing.

This never helps win a crowd over and it certainly doesn't help the rest of the comics on the show. Recognize that the crowd is going to be tough and work hard to get something out of it. If you get laughs on a night like last night, you have something. Rory got up after me and killed with 2 new jokes which means those are viable, funny bits.

You can have fun with a crowd like that but don't start cursing at the audience when you're set isn't going great because you lose everyone and ruin the show for the next few comics.

I tried to give a new comic advice last night and it came out like an awkward pick-up attempt which threw her off and reaffirmed the fact that I am awkward around female comics and am also awkward around females.

Jeff Maurer should be a writer for a Late Night Talk Show. He has been doing comedy for like 25 minutes and he's already one of the best joke writers that lives.
