rants about his experience while trying out for Last Comic
Standing 4
 Why
I auditioned this year, I don't know. Desperation I guess. I
just need some national face time so I can put more asses in the
seats. I hate the show, the whole concept bastardizes comedy.
Put a bunch of comics in a house - fuck that whole vibe. I felt
like such a sell out for doing the audition.
Thursday
night I'm working at Carolines, I opened for Gilbert Gottfried.
It was a great show as I'm passed at the club. I feel like a
real comic. Gilbert asked me to open for him on the road...I'm
on top of my game...Feeling great. I met some line producers
from the show, and they loved me. Then I met Anthony Clark, the
soon to be host of the show. He liked me a little too much, if
you know what I mean. He asked me for my number, but I think his
idea of opening was a little different than mine. So I party
with everyone, but In my head I'm like "this is a cake
walk."
The next day I have a 2pm audition, which is stupid. Comedy at
2pm, with no audience? Yeah I can't wait. So I get there
hang with a few comics I respect. Then It's my turn, as I run up
on stage. I start to go into my act, but I'm not feeling it. I'm
barely 40 seconds in, and these cocksuckers (Bob Read
& Ross Mark) start talking to each other while I'm doing my
act. I stop and ask what's up and they quickly reply with an
"Ok thanks." I start to leave then this little thing
called pride hits my tongue.
I
ask the little one "Hey, have you ever done standup
comedy?" He replies with a "No," and I tell him
"Yeah I didn't think so."
I
start to leave, then the fat one Ross, freaks out. "What
does that mean? Do you know my comedy pedigree." I tell him
"Yeah, you took the edge out of Jay Leno, and you brought
us Dat Phan. Thanks!"
I
left like a fucking rock star. The comics clapped, and I knew it
wasn't the smartest move, but I had a Kinison-Hicks moment that
I can live with. - three jokes, and the truth.
