What do you do before a gig to get you pumped up?

[smjmcomic]

Heres what I do as soon as I get up I put on some melow music (Today Etta James) Then after of few cups of coffee I talk a nice long walk to clear my head then when I get back I Eat something then have a smoke and then I go over my notes untill I feel as if I have it down pat. Then its another 2 or 3 cups of coffee then a long shower a and then I go over my notes a few more times then I'm set on the way to the venu I listen to one of my favorite comedy albums Ether a Pryor/Hicks album just so I can get a good laugh to relax me. Then I show up I have another some take a walk around the block then once I get back I have another smoke. Then once I have had my Marlboro fix I'm ready to go. I drink so much Damn coffee I allways have to piss ether before or during my set When I tell people about my before show hijinx they look at me like theres something wrong with me

Maybe there is something wrong with me? :p

Robbie,



I'm just a bit stressed with the fact that its my first gig in 3 months and I'm filmimg a demo I tend to put alot of pressure on myself.

[smjmcomic]

God I'm Lame!!

Now I'm listening to loose yourself

Would one of you ever be so kind to come over here and kick me?

I don't think I can fuck these jokes up I know them by heart shit I wrote the bastards.


I'm dedacating tonights gig to a really good friend of mine who just lost her grandfather she's been going through a tough times so I figure I try to my best to give her something laugh about and get her mind of of things for a bit.
