Tonight I bombed
/I bombed tonight. It never feels good to bomb. One thing I've learned is that I'm a crowd has to pay attention type comic. If everyone is talking in a bar I can't get up there with my low, awkward energy and expect to command to attention of the bar. I refuse to just start yelling in the mic to try to "amp up the crowd". That's not my comedy.
I can try to engage with the audience somewhat, but when they are across the room it's difficult. As a comic you get judged very quickly. People decide in the first few seconds whether they like you or not. Tonight they decided to talk. Fuck.
Solution to a bad gig: get up as soon as possible. I have my open mic tomorrow. I'll get up and shake it off. Each time I get up there my soul turns a little darker. One day my soul will become completely black and I won't give a fuck about anything. This will be the day I can be a true comic.
