I'm trying to come to grips with my set. I know I killed it. The laughter, audience and comic responses after my set told me I did. I also think I was mediocre by my own standards and it's loving with me hard. Anyone else deal with that?

Middling is the cushiest spot in comedy so I find there's a weird middle guilt, like I don't feel like I deserved the reaction. Because a lot of times when I started middling I didn't deserve all those laughs.

I used to do open mics before my new life. I now write down jokes that I think might be funny. If anyone has inordinate free time and wants to workshop with a guy living on an island, you should totally pm me.

Just PM me all these jokes you're not using so I can use them.

There has definitely been drama in mine but always petty poo poo that dies down. Though one comedian did steal from another on a karaoke night, so there is that.

i once stole $20 from a heckler's purse while she was in the bathroom but i got caught by another crowd member and had to put it back. it was a weird weird set at after that.

it was just 7 minutes of me getting on a high horse and trying to explain to her why she deserved for me to steal her money. and no one agreed because i was wrong.

i got a shout out from mark normand and joe list on tuesdays with stories this week, which is the highlight of my 4 years in comedy.

(i know some people are on conan 4 years in, but i'm from new haven so highlights are few and far between.)

i swear like crazy in my day to day, but i try to be conservative with my curses in stand-up so they don't become meaningless. my swears are very purposeful and deliberate.

unless i am at a really rowdy bar show and need to hold very short attention spans. then all bets are off.
