Jokes and Open Mics
Posted on | December 6, 2009 | No Comments
Tonight I learned an important lesson the hard way:
People do not expect jokes at an open mic. The audience expects to hear “Jolene” by Ray Lamontagne a dozen times, but not anyone trying to be funny. So when I stood up there and asked for a show of hands for “Team Jacob” and “Team Edward” I think they just weren’t sure if I was serious or not.
Either that or it was just a room full of hipsters who don’t watch movies or television much.
Anyway, bombing sucks.
