Amateur Night

I went to the Comedy Underground this past Monday. The last time I went there was in October with my girlfirend. The difference this time was that it was amateur night--the cover was only $4 and each act lasted only a minute or two. The show was from 8:30-10:00pm, so there must have been at least 30 or so comedians on the stage. Wow! A couple were really bad, most were mediocre, and a couple of guys were very funny. One of the better jokes I remember:

"I just read this study that masturbating five times a week can help avoid prostrate cancer. Shit, I got to cut back."

All-in-all, it wasn't a bad deal for $4, but it's also worth seeing a $15 show. Incidentally, the same very funny guy we saw in October, Jim Short, will be there again this weekend. Oh, and the waitresses are still as bad as last time. It took this one 15 minutes to notice us and the place wasn't even half full. The only good thing was that she forgot to ring up two of my beers (sadly, I don't think she was smart enough to undercharge to compensate for her mistake and hope for a bigger tip).
