Nerves are a wonderfully scary thing. Before the show last night, I was flippin out. I was worried about everything. I regretted the decision I made to start the show. It was crazy. I don't know who that person was, but shit was nuts. Once the show started it flew by. We were all pretty nervous the first showing and unfortunately, that came out in a couple of the sketches. But, by our 2nd show, you would've thought we were seasoned professionals. We were relaxed, laughing, dancing, and enjoying what we were doing. I'm glad we did 2 shows. The 2nd set of sketches went a bit better and were definitely more comfortable. We got a lot of laughs and the audience was really into it. After the show, everyone seemed genuinely happy and excited. It didn't seem like the normal lip-service of "oh yeah, great job." People were already talking about coming to the next one. It was really cool.
Next show will be even better because now we know the obstacles we face and we have that first experience under our belts. I'd say for our first show we knocked it out of the park. Of course it helped that we had not one, but two standing room only crowds. At least 120 people saw our show. That's pretty damn awesome. I met the owner of the coffeehouse and building for the first time and he was super excited and happy. Even talking about the next show himself. I also met some people who were looking for input on an improv movie that they were producing.
The entire experience was pretty surreal. It flew by. In fact, at one point, one of the actors was talking about "next time we do this sketch..." I'm like, "dude, we just did that... for the 2nd time. We aren't doing it again." He was in such a FLOW that he didn't remember doing the sketch. HA! Pretty incredible.
Of course it took me over 2 hours when I got home to fall asleep and get off the high I was on. Then, of course I wake up 5 hours later at 730 am, thinking about the show again. It's been awesome seeing the aftermath of the show though. A lot of people posting on facebook pictures and congratulations and the such. What a great feeling.
Want to see the scariest picture ever? It's from the show last night. I apologize ahead of time for any nightmares it causes. (if you wanna see more Like us on facebook at The Last Sketch Comedy Show on Earth or on Twitter @LastSketchShow)
