BUNGALOW 13

Tuesday 22nd November Much to my surprise I would have to say tonight I had the best, most naturally connected set of my career. It was at Little Larry’s room – Bungalow 13 on Wilshire blvd. The night started with me talking with the owners of the club about how to make the night a successful thing - admittedly kind of weird. Larry wants me to co-produce so I was sharing ideas. I didn’t expect him to leave me with them for so long though and I didn’t expect them to react so warmly. Next thing I know Larry is warning me I better not take the night from him. No thanks! These guys really are fighting an uphill battle where they are. Good comedy nights need good foot traffic and there is no foot traffic at night on the corner of Wilshire and Rodeo drive. And it is my honest opinion that if you are going to make a comedy night a destination venue you need to have your regular roster of comics who have a good and supportive fan base. If you give these comics a sense of pride in this spot and they can tell their fans that they can see them at Bungalow 13 every Tuesday then they will come out. So many fans of comedy don’t know where to go so they end up at one of the big clubs but if they had a continual calendar event for their favourite comics then I am sure they would make it a regular in their lives too. But that is just my opinion and sure if they want to pay me for it I will share it some more and do Bungalow 13 every week. As for the comedy I saw a few comics switch their game from A to about C when they saw the small crowd, which makes me sad. Two comics announced that they were no longer going to tell jokes they would just talk which immediately turned their audience off cause it gave the impression – “you guys don’t deserve my best effort” not clever!! One comic got up there and talked and talked and wasn’t actually very funny and I saw what can happen when a comic doesn’t listen to an audience and decides to travel headstrong through a thought even if it isn’t working. SO when Larry gets lost and lets this guy talk for over 20 mins the audience gets uncomfortable and fidgety and it was very interesting to sit up the back and watch. My honest belief on lowering your game because of the audience is - why? These people are here to support you, they deserve a good effort from you and in LA who knows who is in that small crow and what they ill say about you the next day at work – be careful! I am not saying go balls out gung ho if it is a small intimate room but give them your best effort and thank them with laughter for their presence. A case in point for tonight’s show: Unbeknownst to me sitting in the back was Anthony Michael Hall – apparently a very successful actor. I just went up on stage and gave my all to the few people left in the crowd and he responded with a lot of interest in me and those sort of relationships are very important to foster!! As for my set. All I did was have fun. I had lots of time cause Larry’s sense of time had gone out the window with his Soberness! But I really took my time. I felt like I was reinventing old thoughts and melding them with new and amongst that I found some real gems! And I am so proud to say I had my first random inserted thought that I was able to divert into and the return to the bit I had been telling with out a prob. I took more time than I ever have before tonight and I got more laughs than I usually do – a lesson right there, thank you tough room for teaching me so much tonight. And now I have a regular Tuesday spot – awesome!!!
