Booga booga


Did you know I have googly eyes? I was looking at a photo of me from Halloween festivities last night and realized why people can never tell if I'm looking at them or someone behind them. I know I have a lazy eye, and I've always known that the more tired I am the more it wanders inward, but I didn't think it looked like my eyes could roll around independently of one another, in the manner of the classic children's craft material, googly eyes. It was a strange realization, but one which I think will serve my comedy well. I mean, I have googly eyes. I'm like a big puppet. Hilarious.

Shows showers shows showers shows showers

Why did I call this entry that? I'm weird. But believe me when I tell you it just sounded right. I didn't agonize over it for a long time, or anything, but I have this weird thing about purity in this blog and don't edit things. Uh...much. I'm trying to learn to trust my instincts. Important things, instincts.

Had a delicious and redemptive set tonight at RIME. I love that room. I always over prepare for it and then become inflexible because I practiced so much and then tank. But I loosened up and had a really nice time tonight. Every time I do a set that I like I think, "Yeah, that's the way I should always do it." But then it doesn't work the next time and I remember that every room, every show is different. It's very unpredictable....well, I say that, but then you do kind of get to know a specific room. Like RIME. It usually has a similar vibe, people come out to that show over and over, it's really nice there. But discerning, too, so I always want to do well there. I feel like that room is kind of a comedy thermometer.

Blah, blah. Anyway, I have some shows coming up.

Upcoming Shows-

Sunday, October 14th, 9:30pm, Checkers Pub, 1755 Davie Street. Good little show, come down!

Tuesday, October 16th, 9:15pm, KINO CAFE, Cambie Street between 18th and 19th Avenues, on the EAST side of the street. Good scene, huge stage.

Thursday, November 8th, 8pm, SYLVIA HOTEL, 1154 Guilford Street at Beach Avenue (right near Denman and Davie), $5. I do 10 minutes. Very fun night, great room.

Thanks, you lot, for all you do for me. I mean it.
