I have three shows scheduled this upcoming weekend.
First, I am hosting "The Dopest Show", a pot themed comedy show being held at the Comedy Spot, on Thursday night. "The Dopest Show" has been running for over five years, been taken across the nation, and an impressive alumni list. I am gracious for the opportunity and looking forward to potential performing possibilities in the future, but there is one underlying problem: I am not a fan of themed comedy. To me, a good comic will make a joke about anything and everything. Pot, or being under the influence of it, is not hilarious to me, nor are the antics (with a few exceptions) that follow consumption. I know that I will be professional and do my job well, but I guess I am just not looking forward to jokes about how high person A is all night. Hopefully, I am proven wrong and find some really awesome comics. To be ironic, my set will consist of no pot related humor whatsoever. Already, I feel that that is the funniest thing I am going to experience all night.
The man who had booked me to host the show created a private group via the fb for everyone performing on the show. Recently, he added this statement:
"Let's Hope for the best, but Honestly, if AZ does'nt want this show, then Fuck 'em! The ball is in your court AZ!"
Now, I understand that I am being lame, douche bag English Major Guy, but this is pretty putrid. Random capitalization? I hate fb and everyone who thinks it is acceptable to not incorporate grammar because they feel that the internet is an excuse for illiteracy. TYPE THE WAY YOU WISH TO BE RESPRESENTED, ASSHOLE. If you want to disregard simple ideas, such as sentence structure, then I am going to think that you are a huge moron and would have difficulty with a fifth grade English exam. Go ahead and read Twilight and feel accomplished, you fuck.
Saturday night, I am opening at the Comedy Spot with Trevor for Bruce Jingles. Given that Trevor and I have Saturday off of work, it is going to be a great day. Maybe we will hit up the driving range and speak in well crafted verse. Needless to say, I am not worried about it.
Sunday night, I will be performing on the Tempe Improv's "10 for 10" show, which will consist of ten comics doing ten minutes each. Unfortunately, my set has to be absolutely clean. I am pretty positive that I will be able to do this, yet I fear that I will go into auto-pilot and just let loose. Hopefully, I refrain from pissing off the super Christian owner and am asked back. It would also be awesome if he decided to give me five hundred dollars cash.
So, we will see.
