Fun Times For All!
I just wrapped up my first weekend of featuring at the DC Improv. I had a great time and have now done 14 25-45 minute sets in the past 10 days, so I can't wait to get back to Soho to do 8 minutes for people who are reading Jane Eyre. That's gonna be a blast. It reminds me that after the late show on Friday, a guy came up to me and said, "I really thought you were great... Why don't you do a Comedy Central Special?" Then it hit me... maybe my plan for success through coffee shop open mics has been misguided. Maybe Comedy Central is the path to take. I don't know. It almost sounds too common sensical to work. Who knows, maybe I'll sign up for a Comedy Central Special today before other people think of doing it.
Thanks to the guy from Duke Ellington who spoke to me Friday night.
Thanks to the 4 UMD girls last night who talked to us after the show, especially the one who said that she was going to tell everyone that she made out with me. I'm not sure what good can come out of that plan. I just don't think anyone would have a reaction to that. My name doesn't really carry any weight in the streets at this point. "I made out with Ryan Conner." "Who?" "The comic." "Shut up." I think that's how it will go down.
Tomorrow is the finals of the DC Comedy Showcase at the Improv (airing on XM Radio). I'm hosting, and a lot of my friends are on the show. Also, there will be a special treat at the end of the show featuring Doug Powell.
I will be posting pictures from the shows very soon, as well as some really cool pictures of myself and Rory hanging out with the Rat Pack.
