I get asked that a lot. The answer? I have no clue. I was doing comedy for a month and a lady told me I was funny. “When are you going to Houston?” As soon as someone pays me. “Huh?” News flash – if I could pick and choose, do you think I would be closing out the Fall Sour Apple Festival in Mayberry? I love the downtown, it has personality! Yuck.
I’m not bitching too much – thanks for your interest. Where I am going next is not up to me, it’s up to a booking agent or a club. Comedy is weird in that you can be amazing and never get the time of day because they just filled their middle act…he used to get free weed for the headliner, so he’s in and you’re out. Thanks for trying!
Please realize when ask a comic when he’s in ???? town, you’re basically putting him/her in the awkward position of saying one of a few possibilities. 1) Your town has 140 people, where in the hell could I perform there? 2) I’m not good enough to have enough connections to play there. 3) Give me a sandwich, I’m starving and comedy doesn’t pay much. Or my fave – 4) I could tell you next week, and you would no show. That said, every time someone comes to one of my shows specifically for me, it means a lot. Thanks. (Cue Paula Cole music)
