Didn't Suck Too Bad

Tonight was my 9th time on stage at Tommy T's in Pleasanton, Ca., minutes 38 through 42. I probably had 20 minutes of material ready, but 40 comics showed up for Open Mic. With each set limited to 5 minutes, plus one minute of M.C. time in between, the show ran for 4 hours. I worked to cut my jokes down to just the funniest, but it didn't work all that well. I had trouble getting on/off the stage because of the foot surgery last Wednesday, and I think I was a bit groggy still from the Morphine I took for pain last night. In summary, not my strongest performance. Some the other comics were *really* good. I had new material that worked or not, and some old material I love doing, even if the audience doesn't get it. I plan to have a tight set next week AND be more alert. I'll post tonight's set here tomorrow.
