I'm Passed In Philly
Just got back from Helium Comedy Club in Philly where I did a Philly's All-Stars showcase.
When I got there, I was pleasantly surprised to find out it was paid. Then I was asked to fill out a W-9 for future shows. And then I was asked if I would be okay coming in from New York for future shows. And then I said yes.
I'm passed at Helium Comedy Club.
The set itself was interesting. I did fifteen minutes, which is more than I'm used to, although not difficult by any means. The crowd was fun. One of the comics mentioned it was a small crowd. There were 30 people in the audience.
The crowd definitely enjoyed a dose of crowd work with their material. I would get a big laugh on a joke and then get pulled off in another direction by talking with a few of the more vocal audience members. But they weren't heckling and everyone was having a genuinely good time.
After the show, a very polite lady walked up to me and told me she was attracted to me and, I kid you not, the way I annunciate words. I told her I had a Master's in English and she was delighted. She said she would come see me whenever I was at the club. She then said she was disappointed I was apparently taken.
I think she meant it.
