Recap of Solly's Open Mic from Tuesday
"...it was pretty good. Only 3 comedians - me, Eli & Justin. I was the first one of us (non-musicians) to perform. Not really a performance, more like a "man" speaking words into a microphone that occasionally formed complete sentences and had a linear logic with a humorous twist. But the twist fucked us (the us referring to me & Eli). What we learned is that hipster folks like their irony more on their t-shirts and less when it appears as words following the set-up. Eli & I did alright considering. Justin was what Justin always is, a destroyer of audiences. He did all of two jokes he normally might throw in the mix during the set and the other 5 minutes was him using the musicians own instruments, song lyrics, attitude and perception of reality to blow them."
Mad respect for these three guys going out and representing DC Comedy. Sounds like the open mic was a huge success for the promoters and the bar.
Not sure when the next one will be, but we will let you know as soon as we do.
