Friday Night Show: Up The Creek

I had last night's gig at Up The Creek in my diary for a long time. Having won at their "Beat The Blackout" Thursday night show twice, I was eager (if somewhat anxious) to see how I would fare with a rowdier Friday night crowd. I was quite pleased with how it went, with solid laughs throughout. I threw in a couple of adlibs and topical jokes but by and large it was my strongest, most accessible set. I had tried to record it on my Iphone but badly misjudged the amount of phone capacity that would require, leaving me with only a couple of clips of the event. Ah well.

Save for a boisterous group at the back of the room, it had been a much more settled room than the Friday night gig I'd attended there three weeks previously. They were also treated to the low-key eloquence of Tom Allen, a whirlwind performance from Sarah Callaghan and the old school gags of Gavin Webster, calmly held together by Quincy as the MC. All in all, a very good night and one where I felt I held my own. Mostly I'm pretty relieved that I didn't fuck up something that was important to me.
