I am very excited for New Years week this year, as I am every year. It's a great week for comics, the pay is a little higher, and it's a lot of fun. The only thing that sucks is not ringing in the new year with my wife. She was able to go with me to Tucson a couple years ago.
I've been lucky enough to perform on NYE the last four years, Laffs in Albuquerque, Laffs in Tucson, Hyena's in Dallas, and this year Wits End in Westminster, CO! I'll be performing with a guy named Spanky, aka the Laff Guru. I've never seen Spanky, but I've heard great things about him. Should be a lot of fun, he seems like a really nice guy.
I really miss Denver a lot. We lived up there for a year and a half, and met a lot of cool people. They have a great comedy scene up there, one of the best in the country. I wouldn't mind living there again at some point.
I've been doing mostly local shows lately, haven't been on the road since October. There's a new open mic at Allure Nightclub, it's fairly new, but last week we had about 20 comics there! Not bad since there's another open mic the same night at a different spot. The scene keeps getting bigger and better in Albuquerque, it's fun to be a part of it. I checked out my first improv show at the Box Theater a couple weeks ago, that was a blast! One of the funnest shows I've been to in a long time. I've only done improv once at Laffs during X-Mas week and I was awful.
Wednesday night was the one year anniversary show for AnarKomedy at Low Spirits. They had a lot of talent on that night, but the show lasted forever. I didn't hit the stage until 12:45. Got some laughs, but I was exhausted, and the next day at work sucked! Vertigo Venus kicked a lot of ass though, check them out.
