A Moment with Phil Mause…
Did another set at Damons in Hunt Valley Sunday - for some reason this room really seems to work for me although my set was competing with the last 5 minutes of the Giants-Packers playoff game. I still have trouble figuring out what my target audience is. I often do better with older crowds but Damons is a very young room. I seem to do a lot better away from DC than in DC but that may be because its hard to find audiences in DC that haven’t heard my material and I think part of my approach is to surprise people with a real twist of a punch line that they aren’t looking for. Anyhow off to a new room tonite - Takoma Station. I think it is important to keep growing - this year’s objectives include sketch writing and the speakeasy storytelling open mic. Boy the stock market/economic picture seems screwy. I really underestimated this whole subprime mortgage mess. If interest rates keep going done, I may borrow some money and buy a comedy club - maybe in Hawaii so I can go out there, retire and do standup whenever I want.
