It may have lost its special-ness forever and the clubs might not being doing well but I think standup is in the best shape it has been in a long time.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love standup, but not the grind of traveling and dealing with club owners.
By the time I started doing stand-up, the club scene had died.
Hopefully standup will become special again.
I guess there seems to be clubs opening up again, which is strange.
I think that standup has always been an acquired taste and there was always only a handful of performers that were really inspired.
Don't forget this club nearly went out of extinction last year.
The cast clubs were a big part of it, too. I found I wasn't getting that instant feedback I was used to with a forged blade. The sweet spot is a shade bigger, and when I didn't hit the ball dead center, I didn't know it, because it still felt great.
I like the club. It looks nice with all the tables out. They were freaking out, the Gilly's people.
Stand-up came out of three things. Frustration, necessity and arrogance. I didn't have a great career ahead of me in anything. Someone literally said to me, 'You should try stand-up,' and took me to a venue.
Driver has always been fine, and the rest of the clubs have been fine. It's just for some reason, the 3-wood... that's just one of those clubs.
