Preparing for the Comedy Store

Less than a week until my first King Gong at the Comedy Store and I am starting to feel a bit apprehensive.

I keep hearing and reading things like "King Gong at the Comedy Store is a real snake pit" and "what a pack of wolves" and "we are not c**ts like the Comedy Store". Scary.

But I keep reminding myself that the purpose of the gig is to get the experience of playing to a tough crowd, dealing with hecklers and, possibly, dying on my arse.

It's something I have to go through if I want to develop as a comedian - I might as well just get on with it.
