A lot of "Ughing"

We filmed our final two preliminary rounds of Stand Up & BITE Me last night at the Mississauga Yuk Yuks. It was a very long day.

Once I woke up, I went to get some new clothes. I decided on a new grey vest with a black dress shirt and a new off-white sports jacket with a purple shirt. According to my wife the latter outfit looked sharp but unfortunately was too bright for the set and cameras. Ugh... thankfully I brought some extras clothes.

Then we had 9 of the comics coming in during the day for an interview. We use that footage in a vignette that proceeds their comedy set. Most of the comics were early but the last scheduled comic was an hour late due to traffic... ugh.

For show time all I needed was to have the comedians arrive on time. Ugh... Due to traffic, 3 the 8 comics for the early show were very late. Once they were there the shows ran very smoothly. While the cameras are rolling my major concerns are hitting my lines and being funny... and no sweating too much. A special thanks to Jennifer (our make up artist) for keeping me from glistening on stage.

Producing this show is the major stress in my life right now. It amazes me that some comedians do not check their emails throughout the day. This is how most of us get work and to not be vigilant regarding staying in tough with bookers & clients and TV producers is just craziness... UGH!
