Showed up an hour early for the Jai Thai show by accident, so i wandered down to the crescent where another open mic was going on. They let me just wander up without signing up ahead of time. I tried a mix of old and new stuff. One joke went particularly well: I lead off by saying "How much herpes... is the right amount of herpes to have?" and this guy yells "None!" and I say, "Some people say none. I say, stop yelling your answer in the middle of my joke." Adlibs, bitches! I got 'em.
I told the transvestite prostitute story; it got laughs in places, but it still needs a better ending. The phrase "lady-penis" isnt as funny as id hoped. I came up with a joke in between the two shows: I hooked up with a girl in oregon last year, and afterwards she rolled over, looked me deep in the eye, and said "if my dad only knew that i just had sex with a jewish democrat". Now how whitebread do you need to be before i represent a rebellious sexual choice? I think that joke can work, i just need to work on it a bit more.
Tried the joke about tourettes at a clan rally and it completely failed. Told the joke about getting beaten up by both races in high school and it got a big laugh. Very pleased about that. I also told the To Catch a Predator joke because i wanted to add something to it about pedophiles being like pokemon. This comic who I think is hilarious comes up to me after the show, and I think hes about to tell me how funny I was. He says, you know that to catch a predator joke? That was on robot chicken, its the same almost word for word. Fuck. I go and look it up, and it isnt even CLOSE to the same. There ARE a couple videos on youtube of someone making the same general joke, but they go in vaguely different directions with it.
