Famous Johnny's #7

Well, another decent crowd means that we are still slowly growing the audience on Wednesday nights at Famous Johnny's. There were about 30-40 people in the crowd again this week, which is definitely our best 3 crowds in a row at Famous Johnny's. However, this audience was very stoic. This isn't to say that they didn't have a good time. (We had a lot of congratulations on a good show afterwards) In fact, I had a blast, and we all had lots of energy, but the audience just wanted to sit there and be entertained. Every week seems to be a different type of crowd at Famous Johnny's, which is a good thing, I think. We have to stay on our toes, we can't expect anything from this crowd.

Afterwards we all discussed how, in a way, these are like rehearsals with a live audience. We get to see what works, what doesn't work, all with an actual response. You can get a laugh from your friends at rehearsal, but it doesn't mean it was a good scene. With an audience, you really start to learn what works and what doesn't. This was the seventh show we have done at Famous Johnny's and my overall review so far would be "Great short form improv with slow growing audience."
