My first bomb

Wow. So now I know how it feels. And it sucks. Ass. Big time.

There was a very small crowd tonight at the Diesel Playhouse and they didn’t dig my gags and the lights were in my eyes and…and…and…. Okay. Enough whining. It felt awkward and uncomfortable and I’m not experienced enough yet to know how to turn it around or work a small crowd. I wasn’t the only one who bombed. It’s just never happened to me before.

My friend Inge swears up and down that it wasn’t that bad – I guess because of the lights I couldn’t see the smiling. And maybe it worked better on the radio! It sure didn’t put me off the gigs. I really want to feel comfortable in any environment. And there’ll be other and worse bombs. Just gotta get back on the horse!
