5:00pm show was sold out. Great show, great energy.
7:30pm show, half full. Another great show, but not the same energy.
I try not to get down about any show in town. I always try to keep my fun energy up no matter what, but there is something about Comedy City that is just draining it out of me. It seems that the owner doesn't even want to be there. The players show up to play and have fun, but sometimes it seems that it doesn't matter. Thank God the audience shows up and laughs with us, otherwise it would be a waste of time and energy.
Something needs to change, and I hope it happens soon. The players deserve some respect and gratitude for the effort they put forward.
In other news, it has been almost 6 months since I recorded the commercials for the Visit Nebraska campaign. Still no word on them, it is frustrating, but I know when they do come out, they will be great.

I saw a magazine ad for Omaha in a magazine today. Perhaps they're preparing to launch a major tourism advertisement campaign all at once.
I hear you, man. I so wish I had any ideas -- strike that -- any VIABLE ideas about how to make positive changes at that place.
The thing that stinks is that it's been going on for years. DOZENS have tried...offered to help in a gazillion different ways. That place means so much to so many people, and I don't think there's anyone in town who wants to see it fail.
I think most of us who've played there have wanted ComedyCity to be the home for our pet projects—workshops, long-form shows, whatever. When we can't make it work there, we go somewhere else—and piss him off. There's no winning.
That's the thing that makes me so crazy: he takes things so VERY personally. It doesn't matter what you say or do—even if it's the last thing you mean to happen, at some point, you're going to hurt his feelings or make him mad. And nothing you can say will undo it.
It could be the biggest thing in town--and it sucks that it's not.
