Main Pub Update

So, my first night of hosting didn't go near as well as I had wanted, but it was a positive experience all around. I wanted to tell more jokes in between sets, but I had not as much time to write and rehearse as I needed, and I kinda bombed, and had to pull out some of my older material. Did talk to a few other comics, and networked a bit. I'm hoping to put together a couple local area shows in the next month or so, as well as the Benefit show for Jaime. I need to get to NYC for some more mic time, maybe up to PACE in Mass. also. Ah well, you can't have a perfect show all the time, and I keep reminding myself I'm still real new, but I can't stand not getting a reaction out of a big crowd. Next time I will come better prepared. Big thanks to Greg Bonessi again for allowing me the opportunity to get up there and make a dirty reference to his wife.

Thursday 10/27

The Main Pub Comedy Night is almost upon us again. Hope to see you all there. Perhaps I will have a few witticisms to share with the ever demanding crowd.

Who'll stop the rain...

OK so the rain has actually been gone a few days now, and I never thought I'd say this, but I wish it would come back. I have material to write in the next 10 days, and no motivation to do so. I want to lower the curtains and turn the lights off at home and pretend it's raining. Since I think I'm bipolar, I have to either be enraged or depressed to write decent shit, and right now I'm not either. It's like my brain switch is stuck on "complacent" and that's not where it needs to be. Oh well, I'll figure it out, I always do, and I'm sure, contrary to popular belief, it will NOT be from a corny joke one of my friends thinks will kill on stage...

Update

Just a quick update. Working on material for my hosting gig, October 27th at The Main Pub in Manchester, CT. Making some connections to hopefully get in a NYC open mic or perhaps a show at PACE or Jitters to work on new and existing material. Big thanks to Greg Bonessi for allowing me to take his spot and host this next show, though I'm sure the bastard is only doing it so his selfish ass can do a whole set on stage. I hope to have more information regarding the benefit show I'm putting together very soon. I already have a great list of comics I have asked to join me on stage, and I will post all of the info as soon as I have more concrete details.

9/29 Main Pub comedy show

A few pics of the night stolen from my good friend Nate's blog , and Mark is now hosting the video at http://www.amciccio.com




A good night overall. I had a decent set, though I was alot more reliant on my notebook than I had intended to be. Not a bad showing for my third show, got alot of laughs. I think they like me....they really really like me....well, maybe not.

Welcome!

Hey everybody. Posting this blog to keep everyone informed about my comedy show's, hosting gig's, and other extraneous crap that none of you are really priveleged enough to have me call you personally and tell you about.
