do stand up comedy

doing the open mic thing…did a 10 minute set in a bar parking lot last night and the 18 strangers liked it… one broad told me i sucked…i told her she would know…

so i’m making out with this psychiatrist and i’m thinking about all the reasons that in the long term this is going to be a bad idea. Shes going to be in my head, anyalzing my ever move, looking at me like work, she will soon realize i’m nuts…then i think why not get some free therapy…we are already on the couch and were both naked and vulnerable

i have some good jokes in different journals all over the place. i’m going to try to locate them and get a general outline together to start practicing.

ive found myself paying closer attention to the world around me…and ive come up with some pretty funny thoughts, i don’t have a full picture of where the jokes/observations go, but its definitely a start; also i got bert mccracken to sign a journal of mine; totally unrelated, but awesome.
once the semester’s over i dont have to do anything so i can focus on my goals AND build my resume this summer :)

Yay, I can’t wait to try it out. I always entertain my friends and I just can’t get enough of that feeling of really brightening people’s days. I’ll probably die of a heart attack when I first jump on stage, but hopefully I won’t end up with one of those sets that is filled with “you had to be there” stories. My game plan is to hit the local comedy club to observe every week this summer and AT LEAST do 2 sets by the end of it. But first, I have to sit down and come up with something to talk about, lol.

This is one of those things that has been a bit of a dream for me for a number of years… I’m currently getting involved in the local comedy scene as a punter. Although I’ve watched a lot of stand up on television, I’d never actually been to a live show til tonight, and despite the fact it was only very amateur it still was fun. I’ve been checking out the videos here:

They seem pretty helpful. Still not sure whether this is something I want to do or whether it’s pie in the sky, but the first thing either way is to try and write some material… Here goes!

This is an “ultimate challenge” for me.

Just once.
