The AOL Showcase show on Tuesday night at the Irvine Improv went well. It could have gone better, but that's usually the case... if you're striving to improve, that is.
Post-Mortem: Started strong, lost 'em in the middle, then recovered a bit at the end (though not as strong as in the beginning).
Bottom Line: Had fun.
The coolest thing about the show is that it was a three-camera shoot, complete with a wireless lavalier mike to supplement the usual hand-held mike. Even if only four people end up seeing me via "AOL Keyword: Comedy", it was good training for a "real" TV shoot. And who knows, with all of the paperwork I signed ahead of time (including one that had something to do with AOL/Time TV), parts of this performance might wind up on edited into a cable stand-up TV show somewhere.
Whether it does or doesn't, it felt good. Mission accomplished... Had fun, got laughs, got "seen" by someone from Power Entertainment, and got added to the AOL comedy archives.
All in all, it beat the heck out of a usual Tuesday night (which normally includes attaching myself to the couch with Velcro, watching other people perform).
And an audience of forty friendly, paying customers was a welcomed break from the small gathering of comics in Hollywood on Wednesday nights. I must remember, however, that the Wednesday spots at the Hollywood Improv have opened the door for the "payoff" spots like this AOL Showcase.
My appetite continues to grow...
