Open Mic, August 27, 2013, Poor House Bistro, San Jose

Downtown Arby's

Some fine musicians this evening and Jeff let them take 12 minute sets which pushed my set out till 9:00. No matter. I persevered and performed a new sketch, Downtown Arby's, which is a spoof of the hit TV series on PBS, Downton Abbey. I feel like I read well, but the audience found it too subtle. Previously, it had gone over well in testing with friends, so I will chalk this off as a successful sketch that should be retired in favor of more obvious humor.
