Look at this spooky picture I found on my phone . From the Funny Bone in St. Charles, MO. I take the iPhone up on stage with me so I can time my set. It must’ve snapped a picture while I pulled it out of my pocket to put it on the stool. It’s evocative of something- this is not dissimilar to what I see when I’m performing- it’s a little blurrier here in the pic, but with the lights shining on me in the dark room, I see mostly forms and not faces- I have to judge the mood for the show by the sound of the audience.
This is the gag that I've been doing at the end of my show- it's different every time because I'm working it with local guys. But these guys had to be the best so far- with no rehearsal they pulled off the "heckling barbershoppers" routine. And their singing was great too. Have a look.
