What are you lookin at?

Ok this is the last time I will ever perform as a headliner where I am restricted to what I can and cannot say.

I am currently in montreal and the owner of the club does not want me to do nasty material. He did not advertise it that way and I understand his situation and I am trying to be a good boy but it is kinda like hopping on one foot in a field of landmines.

Thursday was a fundraiser which can be the kiss of death for for me but I put on my happy shoes and danced and got through it amazingly enough unscarred. The crowd loved the show and I thought to myself maybe montreal is going to get me. Maybe my prejudging days can be over.

Not so

Friday first show was the exact opposite. There was a guy in the audience that was fucking up the show. I was not killing anyways but when you are trying to get something rolling and everyone knows you are not killing it can be hard. So what does he do. From side stage he keeps yelling shit out during any of my stories..not funny stuff just shit to fuck it up. Eventually I had to call him out inbetween jokes and just say bring it on mutherfucker. Everytime I called him out he sat quietly.

Here is the problem: he sat stage left and people in the back could not hear him. I could and the front crowd could but not the other comics or staff, so it looks like I am freaking out for no reason. It is bad enough that I have my hands tied in terms of what I can say and now I have fuckface wrecking the already bad show. In the first half of the show he had gotten a cell phone call and took it...he already yelled at the comics....but yet he is allowed to stay cause this is the land of cheese and gravy darren.

So I said to him wait till after the show and then we can yell at each other out front..of course he took off and the show barely came into the station. Something weird happened...the most odd thing I have ever had said to me at a show. A young women came up to me after the show and said in broken english

"I did not..laugh at all...but it was ..the best..show.. I ever saw"

I don't know if that is a compliment...shouldn't they laugh at a comedy show. Is that not what I am here to do.

Many people came over to me for charity comfort..you know when you see an special olympic athlete try really hard and not do well

"you were really funny"
"way to go"

my favorite was from an older women who just came up to me and said

"you should talk about the baby boomers"

Okay so I have to get the funk away so I go for a walk and call a comic and scream for twenty minutes about how life sucks and why do I keep coming back to a town that never really got me. it had been a few years since coming here outside of the fest and we all know how the fest went.

Cut to show number two

Late show friday is the worst show of the week and I did alright and did not hold back and did my nastier stuff. I am tired of trying to slam a round peg in a triangle hole.

Yeah Yeah people liked it......fuck this is getting so hard

Maybe I made a mistake earlier in the afternoon....I don't know anyone here and it rained all day so I stayed in my hotel room and watched Million Dollar Baby and Hotel Rwanda. Not very uplifting movies..in fact damn right depressing films. What was I thinking..hey maybe I could slip in schindlers list inbetween shows fucky and then go and do the HAHA.

Two more shows tonight and movies on deck this afternoon are "the Killing Fields","breaking the waves", "shoah" and "dancer in the dark" that one has bjork in it and has to be cute no?
