Well, just got home from the first night of the competition in Berkeley.  It was a fun show.  The comics are all quite good and I feel like I'm in good company. 

Some of them are friends, Grant Lyon, Moshe Kasher, Alysia Woods, Dave Reinitz... And others are new friends. 

Here's the not so big secret about these comedy competitions.  All the comics think they're dumb.  But we do them because they look good on the resume if you win. 

Tonight, my streak goes unbroken.  Grant Lyon came in first.  Moshe took 3rd.  I'm spacing on other names, but I'll know them by the end of the week.  I'm terrible with names. :)

I did have a decent set though.  Did my NASCAR and Testosterone Babies bits.  NASCAR went well til I realized that college kids don't know what a douche is...  They probably think it's a frat boy... Which is true, but that's not the sense I use it in.  I'm switching things up a little tomorrow night.  We're at a casino in Nowhere, California and it should be a cleaner show...

So I'm 0 for 2 on competitions this week.  But I got some free pizza, so it's not a total loss. :)

Until the next report...
