Last week, at Kitty O'Shea's I did my first stand up since my surgery. It was a great night for me, I did a high energy high concept tight five (that's five minutes of material give or take a min for the audiences laughs to hopefully come.) based around some physical theatre stuff and that obnoxious Air New Zealand flying ad's music. You know? The one with the sad Maori lady singing? And the guy who decided to go fishing in his totally expensive Huffer shirt? It's ok, Huffer stuff is designed to look worn right from the shop, so, he probably hadn't been fishing so much as doing the accounts down by the 'scenic wharf'(tm)
Anyways, I realised a couple of cool things while there, and in a conversation with a couple of the other comics, got told another that should have just been common sense.
Today, the common sense thing:
When you tape your stuff, get someone to tape it from the middle, or even the back if you can. That way you can see just what was going on from a place where your voice isn't as loud, and you can hear how many people were actually laughing, as opposed to what ever you heard on stage, ( an almost braying Canadian dude and his bewildered french girlfriend, who liked my box, in my case.)
