Laughs On Fox

    Tonight at the comedy club I saw plenty of talent in the lineup. It sounded like an audition for a show called 'Laughs' on Fox. I laughed a lot more than typical because it was such a good lineup, to some it may have sounded insane. One comic I didn't know well, she walked in with two I did know- red-faced comic and self-checkout. Her set included 'Am I lonely? I'm in heaven' which I liked. Others were about a Shazam phone app, still paying Verizon for her 2 sons, as well as vodka and cable. It was nice to see one comic again, it had been a while. Don't know if he had a nickname yet, but I knew him for wearing a Black Flag (music group) hat though it was a different hat tonight. He recently announced on Facebook  his plans to quit comedy, but I would like to think he has reconsidered after hearing from so many. I think I helped out in this area, by saying he helped me with my attitude about comedy, where I don't want to be 'On' all the time. And I don't- because I want to be serious at times as well. There is a time and place for everything. We spoke at length after the show about various issues, including relationships. And I like being able to discuss serious issues at times. I saw the bossman from another club there, and said I was looking forward to seeing some good shows at an upcoming festival he is managing. I am not one of the performers though I did apply this time and I am still learning some things about the comedy business. I gave out my business card to more comics who had heard about my blog so I trust they will like reading it and it does appear to be a popular read in the comedy scene. I heard the big dog do the joke about being a heroin addict and I am finally laughing at it, proof I can evolve. Though I am afraid I am putting my foot in my mouth trying to explain why I wouldn't for a while.
  A shout-out to the server who found me a note pad so I wouldn't need to use napkins for note-taking. And it is also for offering a drink that I was told was an extra. At first I turned it down, but then I saw another comic be offered and accept. There were three on the serving plate. Don't know what happened to the last one.
     School bouncer was MC. He did ones about the 100-year-old woman, check the fridge, a Packer player, I don't need you, and I hate paperwork. Neck tattoo did one about being poor his whole life. Others were about a Wendy's chili spoon, homeless people clothes, almost hit by a car, and sheets for curtains. Self checkout did ones about watches costing more than a car, shopping at Walmart, it's all bananas, tally man, snap or button, and CSI Little Rock. Dictionary did ones about drunk jobs including news anchor and hockey player besides comedian. the good diction joke included curtsy first. Others were about his lady's alarm clock, as well as Busch Light and NASCAR. Grizzly Adams did one about walking cats, and getting a cat harness. Others were about a porn barn, college commercials, the price of Pabst beer or huffing, and a dollar of gas. Mason City did one about Zoloft, related to 'fight or flight'. Others were about Ace of Base, his 98-year-old grandma at Visiting Angels, roll credits, old lady fight, half day kindergarten, and the city is run by pigs. Extra murder did ones about taxes, Verizon birth control, man cave, you've got SAD, Nike jump rope, first world problems, an I-pad, and the second world is Canada. Red-faced comic did one about DUIs and birthday wishes. Others were about a pizza job at Little Caesar's, get out!, 3 of us, stuck on an island, and borp not a lisp. Big dog did one about a Bruno Mars die for you song. Others were about suicide by cop, Dahmer has furniture, and the Menendez brothers. Black Flag did one about it makes me Batman. Others were about 50 cigarettes or toothpicks, crack or pot, and Coolio and Weird Al. Show closer was from the Laughs show, he did ones about a plane exit row, and wake up to die. Another was about a mixed breed dog.
