2 gigs tonight.

Just got back from Atlantic City and went to CVS to stock up on some of the american superdrugs against cold that Swedish authorities wouldnt allow in a million years. Lets hope it helps. If not, I'm gonna have to go see a doctor soon.

Anyway, tonight I'm at Zinkbar at 8 and after that I'm gonna rush over to Limerick House on 23d street to do a spot there as well. Think I'm gonna try to do a long bit that I haven't done in english before.

Now I'm gonna have a look at the first cut of my next comedyspecial for Swedish TV. and sip some Theraflu. Exciting.

Somebody liked it...

We really did have a great show last thursday at Building on Bond althuough I didn't think it was my very best set so far. Here is a blog that liked the show too. Thank you very much.

I'm staying at the Borgata in Atlantic City and that has to be the shittiest hotel in the world in this pricerange. No minibar. Not even a bottle of water. Noisy rooms. You can hear your neighbours every thrust against the headboard. Bad service. Constant ID-checks in the casino...

BUT I'm lazy, so I'm staying one more night. They couldn't sort that out on the phone either... I have to go down to the front desk to do it. Not that it's a big deal... It's just that it's the first time. Even in Teheran they fix another night by phone. Probably some ancient statelaw that prohibits service over the phone in New Jersey. Going down to sort it out now and after that, some more poker.

Atlantic City.

Felt like playing some poker so i went to Atlantic City for a couple of days. It's really nice here. Can't compare to Vegas of course, but compared to Swedish cardrooms everyting is fantastic.

They constantly check my ID and i normally don't carry around my passport because its too bulky. Guess what... I can't play roulette with my Swedish driverslicence. I can use it when i drive a car. I can use it when i drink alcohol. But I can't use it to gamble with my own money... Now THAT is a lot like Sweden.

Good gig!

Times Square Comedy Club is a huge club, fomerly known as The laugh factory. We were in one of the smaller rooms. Maybe 50-60 seats or so. The show was good. Some really good comedians and a really good room. I did 7 minutes mainly consisting of stuff I have tried before and it was one of my best sets so far. The flow of the language is slowly starting to get there.

The quality of the comedians varies a lot here. Just like at home. One big difference is how simmilar the topics they choose are. Once you leave the rookie-stage in Sweden you don't see that many comedians talk about the exact same things. Here i have seen at least 7 different comedians doing a routine about the voice in the cars GPS. The next one who does it i want to shoot in the face.

Times Square Comedy Club.

Just letting you know I have a spot at Times Square Comedy Club tonight. I'm only doing 5 minutes, but if you want to check it out you find it at 669 8th avenue. Between 42nd and 43d.

Freezing!

I was really, really tired yesterday and It was not one of my best gigs. It wasn's one of my worst either though and i tried some new stuff that I have been wanting to do but never gave myself a chance to try.

The room was packed and the other comics were great, so apart from the fact that i was so tired I could barely sit straight, it was a great night.

Going to do an interview for Swedish Comedy TV now and after that i have no plans. Don´t think I'm gonna be on stage tonight, but you never know.

Haven't had a chance to see the material from yesterday, but i have it on tape so i might post some of it later.

Gig tonight!

It´s really, really great to be back in New York again! I had a great time doing the big shows in Sweden and recording the last two, but my mind was partly in New York. Now, my body is here aswell. Too bad Helena didn´t come with me this time... Gonna be lonely.

I just got back to the appartment to get a few hours of sleep before the gig tonight. It´s at 8.30 and the place is called Building on Bond. Here are details and directions. I'm off to bed.
