I'll be doing my second attempt at stand-up tomorrow night. Guys like YB, UB, Trout, and Vinylone help me out and give me advice because you are funny internet posters and obviously that translates to funny stand-up.


Thanks,

Good luck. Post a vid. Wish I could attend. You need to bring your act to Reno.


Don't forget lots of GLBT jokes too, along with what Trout said.
 
just don't be random, ya know?

Good luck. I think it's very brave of you.

oh, and hehepepecaca!
but remember, it's not a punch line.
 
and don't forget to mention four months of heavy lifting every chance you get

by the way, how'd the first attempt go?
 
I'm coming to heckle you. I live down the road and will show up wasted and think I'm the coolest guy on the planet.



The secret obviously lies in your introduction. Run up on stage as goofy as possible and yell out your favorite comic book sound. All the comedians do it so it must work.

Good luck. If you find yourself facing a tough crowd, then pick a fight with the weakest looking guy in the audience. My money says that will be an inebriated Franklin.

First attempt is hard to judge. I think my stuff was OK, but a lot of people laughed pretty hard. I had a lot of family and friends of my brother there to support me and it was a tribute for him and each comedian who came retired some of his jokes.

I won't have as much family tonight, so I'm anxiously awaiting for my first flop joke where no one laughs and I stand there awkwardly not knowing what to do. I get stage fright pretty bad too.

Nice tribute. And I guess that means Duck's suggestion won't work.

start picking your nose


(yeah, I know, easy for me to say. and it's probably not really a good idea anyhow. but it might get a few laughs)

yeah you could do a whole conversation of pennies talking to each other "a penny for you thoughts" - "no, a penny for YOUR thoughts" - "I asked you first..." etc.
then segue into something about giving some reviled public figure "your two cents"

That could maybe be funny if done well?

ok, maybe not, but good luck tonight! If I find something funny tonight here in Chicago I'll laugh in your honor.

Suggestion. Always have a notepad. If you are some where and see something you think is dumb or weird, write it down, go home and flip it as a joke. Get the crowd to think, "he's absolutely right!" Involve them that way with situations they've most likely have faced before.
