Sleep would be nice at some point.
Anyway, woke up A's, and then took Mum shopping, dozing while I could in various car parks of various shops.
Then 3 different drum lessons in 2 different locations - I need to start earning proper money again after all this dashing about. There's a LOT of work coming in, though, I feel like a drum teaching machine at the moment.
Taught till 7.15pm and made it to my venue for 7.50pm for stand-up stuff. The 'Endurance' night, which on the local scene is feared by many comedians as it's an intentionally tough gig but you know, I feel like I'm on good form at the moment. Lost my cajon, it's somewhere, hopefully the band lock up, not sure, but either way I ended up doing the gig with a cowbell instead.
My 5 minute set was poor at the start - very rushed, lasted 3 and a half minutes, struggled without my trusty box. The improv round, in which the organiser Dan suggests difficult topics, went surprisingly well, and the audience interaction section was great fun - I basically got the audience to sing reggae as I hit the cowbell and I scored a lot of points for that. The show ends with the heckling round, but I was ready for them and it felt a lot easier than it should have been. I couldn't have done that a year ago.
