Had a just okay show at Jimmy Tingle's Off Broadway last night. Part of it was whatever is causing me to feel as though I have a brick lodged in my sinuses (I'm beginning to suspect allergies rather than a cold), part of it was the fact that there were more comics than there were people in the audience.
Linda thought it might be because the women's NCAA final four semi-finals were last night, but I'm not so sure. (It certainly wasn't because of "The L Word"--it had to be one of the worst episodes I've ever seen....and that's saying a lot, trust me!)
In sum: It's not easy doing The Comedy for seven people, especially with a head full of stuffing.
But otherwise, it was a good night. Well, except for Jennifer, who had to cancel due to a stomach virus she picked up just as she was starting to feel more human after her horrible cold (whenever I feel bad about my stuffed-head syndrome, I think of poor Ms. Myszkowski's ailments and realize I don't have it so bad). Jennifer did manage to contribute mightily to the night anyway, for she suggested directions that we were able to follow without a hitch.
And I was driving!
It's a minor miracle folks, and also a testament to my friend and navigator Holly Givens, who was ready, willing, and able to go off to Boston with me on a moment's notice. What a trooper!
And while I wasn't thrilled with my performance, I was asked back for the month of May--so that means something (good, I hope). Holly was invited back, too.
So, all things considered, it was a good night. Though I must admit, I'm happiest about driving to Boston and back without any drama/trauma.
I think it's the car....
Won't be posting for the next couple of days--I'm off to NYC, and that means work during the day, and catching up with old friends during the night. In other words: It's not the sort of trip one drags a laptop along on--won't have time for such things. Am going to try to go to an open mic on Tuesday night--will report on that upon my return Wednesday.
Till then--all good!
