I love doing comedy.
Wednesday's show at the DC Improv was a little tight, with the crowd not understading anything abstract, but last night was "off the chain" as Larry Poon says. The crowd was really good, but still not great, which makes me think this weekend will be even better.
Four weird things happened during/after the show.
-First, when doing a joke about the war on drugs, a yuppie looking couple in the front cheered when I said the war on drugs doesn't make sense. It was weird because not only did they not look the part, but also the room was relatively quiet as I was setting up the joke, and this loud cheer comes from Zack and Kelly (from The College Years). I think they did it so they would look cool. Mission failed.
-There was a flashing red light towards the back of the room. It was a little distracting, so I addressed it about 5 minutes into my set. It was a bachelorette party. I asked what the red light had to do with the fact that it's a bachelorette party. One girl yelled out that it's so everyone will know that she's getting married. That made sense to me. Whenever I see a flashing light, I always figure that someone must be getting married.
Most bachelorette parties go the whore route and wear all kinds of penises as decoration. If you do this, I hate you. This group decided to go the obscure route and dress completely normal, except for a flashing light on one girl. If I just saw that on the street I would assume it's so everyone remembers which girl is the retarded one or something like that. They could even be "Punking" people with epilepsy. I wouldn't know.
But they took a picture with me after the show and all seemed to be cool.
-Someone booed when I said that Transformers are stupid. Come on people. It's not that serious.
-After the show a girl came up to me. She was very tall and attractive. She got my attention. I turned around and she was holding her hand up fairly high, like a seig heil or something. I had no idea what was going on. So I asked, "Are we high-fiving or what's going on?" She confirmed that and we completed the high-five. It was a pretty good one. Then she paused and said, "So, do you... SPEAK here often?" I got confused. I couldn't tell if she was serious... she did just give me a high-five. The conversation wrapped up nicely though with a handshake that I had previously only seen on Cribs. With the tall, attractive, high-five, "speak," and handshake, this girl threw quite a few curveballs. I respect that. Girl, if you are reading this, come to another show and I will be ready for both the high five and the handshake. I will be speaking at the Improv all weekend.
