I'm seriously considering doing some stand-up comedy.

beautiful_balloon [Edit] [Delete] 00:10, 18 May '09

About a month ago I got a big dose of anti-inspiration watching Michael McIntires unbearable failure of a comedy DVD

I started a notepad document and sporadically recorded anything particularly funny that came to mind, or just nicked funny things I'd read from people on DiS and in real life, just started to view everyday funny things as 'stand-up material' really

Anyway, the word document is pretty long now, stuff like:

Jade Goodys kids having to explain to Jack that where Jade's gone
Socialist worker - thats an ironic title isnt it?

Everyone remembers where they were when Princess Diana died, i was in a tunnel with a camera and my cock out

etc etc etc etc

even today someone on DiS said about flirting in a relationship
'just because you're tied to the porch doesn't mean you can't bark at cars'

I mean thats funny right? Most stand up comedy is remarkably shit

Has anyone ever done it? Is it hard? I want some advice
