22nd gig - my first competition

I was seventh on out of ten acts. The nerves were heighten due to this being a competition, but I managed them well. I performed my material very well and my new extended Star Trek set was well received - might have to tweak it a fraction when I review my recording of last night though. (Mills and Boon was definitely weaker than Star trek - it needs something to update it or make it more interactive). Overall I was very pleased with myself and really thought there was a chance of me being one of the lucky four who would go through into the next round. I scored myself as being in the top 3/4. One act that got through should not have - but they had support from many people in the audience (the audience making up a third of the votes). I took no one along with me and missed out on a slot. Several people came up to me and complimented me on my set and performance. I felt like a comedian tonight. My star trek material is getting stronger and stronger. Next gig tomorrow! And it's a comp! They're like London buses aren't they...
