Some venues are better run than others. Sometimes it's just maddening to deal with full dinners being served in front of your face. You can have a good or bad show anywhere.

There are commercials that are funny, but you might forget the product. A standard commercial might hammer that point home better.

I got access to a private tour of the zoo. I got to go in a cage with a koala, which I highly recommend.

I thought they may have presumed too much knowledge of certain things for people who are not comedians. Like Montreal. A comic understands what it is and its importance, but someone else may not know about it.

In New York, if you wanted to be a comic you had to bring people to try to get on an open mic, but you could get on a regular show in Florida.

I mean, I guess I realized subconsciously that this is what I should be doing before I realized it, consciously. Verbally, I don't think I had committed to it, even though I was driving everywhere, every night, just trying to get on stage.
teaching ends substitutes
I did end up doing substitute teaching, but there's not a lot of teaching involved in that.
