so, have i mentioned how my friend pat has started up a showcase down here at this place in belmar called Coffee Blue? it's tuesday nights at 9pm... and he's got a number of comics performing - asked me to check it out and to get the hell back up onstage soon...
not going onstage at the moment, but will stick my toe in the waters and check it out though this week i think...
i've gotta really hunker down and write my material for about 5 to 7 minutes again... haven't done that in a while... the last time i was up was january 11, 2002 and, even then, i was using material that was honed over a number of months (it got big laughs each time, but i just started getting sick of it... sort of like eating peanut butter and jelly over and over.)
so, i have to figure out my angle... don't want to be "angry-oh-i'm-33-and-single-female-comic-girl" (never took that angle, and i'm not angry.) don't want to be "oh-i-have-to-lose-weight-and-will-tell-fat-jokes-til-i-lose-weight-female-comic-girl" - i only did one fat joke and that was 30 pounds ago and it was my first time onstage...
there are only a few of you (with sites) out there who have seen my act live...
(i think that you showed up on the night of my last performance, which wasn't all that keen since they messed up the light and flashed it a minute before they should have and my friend - comedy sistah - monica was emceeing and started razzing me during my set... *groan* that wasn't cool)
okay - i have to skidaddle... heading out for a bit of the afternoon to leggett's with some friends...
