#frustrating experience

I just got back from an open mic night and I'm still fuming. The host, who I've seen kill it on stage before, completely bombed. I mean, it was like he forgot how to be funny. The worst part is, he took up way too much time, leaving barely any room for the actual comedians to perform. I was looking forward to seeing some new faces, but instead we got stuck with this guy's awkward silences and stale jokes. What's the point of having an open mic if you're just going to let the host hog the stage? I've seen some great comedy recently, but this just put a sour taste in my mouth. Can't we just have a decent host for once?
