Made it to the next round of the Boston Comedy Festival

Woohoo,

Sunday was a very nice day. It started at 6:30am in NYC followed by a three hour drive with a friend to Boston, tea at Diesel Cafe in Davis Square, a massage and then my performance in the preliminary round of the Boston Comedy Festival. I'm not a big fan of contests that pit artists against one another, and deserving people always get screwed but it does feel good to get some validation, random as I know it can be. I move forward along with fellow Boston comic and friend Dan Sally plus NYC's Victor Varnado.

Despite the general suckiness of the night's audience, several comics managed to pull them out of their funk including Ku and Tom McCaffrey who both had me rolling. You can read more coverage of the festival over at Bostonist, including coverage of my round.

I'm doing at least three additional shows this week and have decided to camp out in the city I left just two months ago.

Hey! I was the twitter dude at the show on Tuesday. You were great. I really liked the last guy -- was it Harrison something? Unfortunately I had to run quickly at the end to pick up my friend coming in on Amtrak. Good luck tonight!
