Tonight, at the 50 Mason Comedy Competition, I was among five comics to advance to the semi-finals. Congratulations to Bill Murphy, Kellen Erskine, Nitin Kant, and Mike Winfield. I thought the show was pretty solid, but I was especially impressed by Kellen and Mike. The semi-finals look to be very entertaining.
Much like the World Cup, the important thing is not so much one's performance in the early rounds, but simply advancing to the next stage. I also avoided any bookings, as I kept my cleats down while slide tackling Ali Wong and Nick Leonard. Because I do not play dirty.
Thanks to the fans/friends/family members who came out to the show. Round 2 will be either July 5th or July 12th, which gives fans plenty of time to organize group trips to the show, and to practice songs to sing in the audience. Here's a sample of what I'm talking about:
Oggy-oggy-oggy, oi! oi! oi!
Oggy-oggy-oggy, oi! oi! oi!
Oggy! Oi! Oggy! Oi!
Oggy-oggy-oggy, oi! oi! oi!
Zigger-zagger, zigger-zagger
More jokes about speech impediments and public transportation!
I'll link to the clip of my performance once it becomes available.
UPDATE: Check out a clip of my performance right here.
dude, congratulations! and yey for the next one being july 5th or 12th, i can totally come to either of those dates.
i like your song. possibly because of my bizarre addiction to the word 'oi'. i walk around the house grunting it to myself a lot. or i used to anyway before i actually started leaving the house and interacting with other people. but when i used to be alone and had to entertain myself, "oi" and "u-sha" were my only friends.
oooh, congratulations! Will definitely try to catch round 2!
