I'm a little tipsy now, so I appoligize if the spelling or grammer is bad in this.12 years ago I worked in Radio at WLUP & WMVP in Chicago. I worked with the very taleneted Harry Teinowitz and Spike Manton. Both very successful Stand-Ups that encouraged me to go to Open Mikes and do my Comedy. I wrote and rehersed a 5 minutes act, but never had the courage to actually go up on stage and perform.Tonight, at Wisefools Pub, along with my friends Joe Marrese, Pete Wood, & Jose Quervo, I wiped off the old material...along with some new stuff...and went on stage...and got some laughs. When rehersing on the way home from work, I was coming in at five & a half minutes, but once I got on stage, it went by in under 4 minutes. I think I skipped over some of my material along with going a little fast, but overall, I got good reviews from the people there. I've never had a problem talking in front of people, but I've always been hesitant about doing stand up, because one of my goals in life is to make a living making people laugh, & I'd hate to see that dream go down in a ball of flames.I feel good right now. I'm not sure weather it's the Quervo or the high from getting laughs on stage. But maybe I'll go back next week, and maybe this time I'll do it sober.
