The Comedy Highs* and Lows...

I'm checking in with comedy, in that I'm just thinking where I am and where do/will be in a couple years.

I get up once a week in a (in my opinion is the best club around Nutt St. Comedy Club) club and that's it. I think I can do this. If I could really work at it maybe I can do this for a career to 'support myself'.

What I'm trying to say that I feel and understand how long it will to become a PFT or Patton Oswalt..an f'in Louie CK. But I have accepted that an its ok. I want to take this on. I know there are gonna be a lot of bad sets down the road. I've asked alot of the comics who have come thru Nutt St. and they all say a range of years 7-12 (and the 12 was Kyle Kinane). I also like PR for some nagging reason. I love selling people an idea or being a spin doctor and the thing is I really am willing to do this. Put in the work the trial an error, the comedy do's an don'ts, sleeping in cars and even the free beer.

There is a comic who has been only on stage about ten times. Nice guy, funny etc. and he's always talking about how its so great its going but what he doesn't know is the grind. I thought the same at one point until till I hi this kinda reality wall that "this is gonna take some serious time" and after that I settled into that fact. There are people who stand up and can't handle if the crowd isn't laughing so they do there best stuff all the time. Now I know its great to practice your best stuff but damn don't burn it out. But I need to create stuff like that like a real stock pile of funny bits (I'd say I have maybe 4). For me its like mining for gold as in I sift through a ton of bad stuff before I find a gem AND that is why I feel low sometimes.

But right now I'd have to say I'm right in the middle..half glass full of course!
