Just back from the above-titled show at Chop Suey. Laff Hole is put on biweekly by the People’s Republic of Komedy, who also do a weekly open mic, which I’ll be going to on Friday. Feeling out the local scene. Starting to meet other aspiring comics and remember their names and vice versa. Someone remembered my set from Comedy Underground on Monday, which made me feel a little embarrassed, since I fucked up the end of that set. But if they’re at PROK on Friday, they’ll see take two.

My major note for the show:  ”Laff Hole featured one woman, and the joke of her sketch was someone beating her.”

Seriously, y’all. Comedy. 87.5% dudes. At least, that was tonight’s performance percentage. At open mic, there tend to be more ladies. 

I was impressed by how much material everyone had worked up and how comfortable they were in their stage space. Laff Hole showcases people who have clocked their hours. So, even when I don’t necessarily feel into someone’s style of comedy, I still respect that they’ve put in the time and worked at it.
