The Fool Does Standup

This last Tuesday I got back into my old habit of doing comedy open mic nights at crowded little bars. It's something I haven't done a lot lately, but also something I enjoy doing. So Tuesday I went down to the Smiling Moose (located in South Side, Pittsburgh) and signed up to do some comedy.

My friend Jodi came and recorded it on my little iPhone (thanks Jodi!). It's a small room and the bar was packed, so there's a lot of background noise. It's also not the BEST open mic I've ever done, but the point of doing these is to experiment with your jokes and see what works and what doesn't. So I show this to you as my way of saying "I'm gonna try to do this a lot more now so that I can get better at it". Thanks for indulging.

The content is mostly family-friendly, although I curse a bit (eh, whatcha gonna do). The content consists of falling asleep while driving, personal space on the bus, listening to other people's music, and my opinion of The Scissor Sisters and their Kiki. I also close with a joke I was told my recently-passed Grandfather once said.
