I have to admit it.......just when reality TV was totally boring the crap out of me.....literally...........here comes Last Comic Standing........I'm truly a big fan ......but.....well.....I'm dissappointed with the 10 selected........even though I thought the gay guy should have told other jokes.....Eddie was as funny as most selected........Voss is a established comedian........he shouldn't be there........this has encouraged me to make my comicit debut..........I would consider myself a top 3 out of the 10 selected.......sure....that's easy to say when one's not competing.......trust me folks.......& I do me trust me.......just remember my name.......everyone that I come in contact with encourages me to do this......mostly doctors.......they tell me if I talk about it the pain will go away........well.....I'm rambling.......anyhoo.......I graduated high school with Rob Cantrell......& we were good friends in school........we both attended Parry McCluer High School ( Buena Vista, VA)......we had a class of only 79 students......so I'm pulling for Rob the whole way.........hopefully he'll improve his material..........

oh yeah, you sure do sound really funny {/rolls eyes}

sounds like we have a sad clown..........sorry...... I was not trying to make you laugh.....you want to laugh?????.........when does a mexican become a spaniard?????.....when he dates your daughter......A man is doing yard work and his wife is about to take a shower...the man realizes that he can't find the rake.... he yells up to his wife, "Where is the rake?"....she can't hear him and shouts back, "What?"....The man first points to his eye, then points to his knee and finally makes a raking motion....the wife is not sure and says, "What?' and the man repeats his gestures. "EYE KNEE - THE RAKE"......the wife replies that she understands and signals back....she first points to her eye, next she points to her left breast, then she points to her butt, and finally to her crotch....well, there is no way in hell the man can even come close on that one......exasperated, he goes upstairs and asks her "What in the friggin' hell was that?" She replies, "EYE - LEFT TIT - BEHIND - THE BUSH!".........hope your happy now......I'm very raw right now.....I've only performed in front of my friends........so it is easier said than done......but I'm in the process of getting a gig @ the comedy club......

to quote a recent beer commercial,

"you're not funny"

I sure do hope that's not your "A" material. You do realize that you don't actually tell jokes during stand up comedy, right? But, here, have another zinger for your impressive repetoire.

The Jones family is staying in a hotel. Knock on the door, its the hotel manager. "Mr.Jones, we're having a problem with your 5 year old son. You see, he's peeing in the pool" Mr. Jones replies, "So what, everyone pees in the pool" To which the hotel manager says back, "yeah, but not from the high dive"

There ya go, add that to your big gig at the comedy club (read: open mic night).

but I'm in the process of getting a gig @ the comedy club......

One gig does not a career make. I was related by marriage to someone trying to break into the business. He got some jobs opening for other comics and started out with some decent material, but he wasn't able to build on it and make it something worthwhile in the longer run. His wife was the primary breadwinner - as an office assistant.

From watching him for a few years, let me tell you what you're in for, even if you do have talent:
- Years of trying to get someone to notice you, give you a chance, and maybe even give you a little bit of money to perform. Mostly, you'll have doors slammed in your face, or earn pocket money doing voice-overs and from side jobs. Depends on how good your agent is, if you even can get one. This guy did have one, and the agent really was making an effort to get his name out there.
- Hundreds of miles on the road traveling to the tinier towns, since they won't see you in the bigger places until you've proven yourself elsewhere. You'll drive for hours and hours and stay in nasty hotels, because there's no way you're earning enough money to take a plane or stay in a nice hotel.

The money and the travel suck at the beginning (and, for many folks, the middle and the end as well), which is why you need more than a couple of jokes strung together to make it. It's one thing to be able to make your friends laugh at a joke or two, it's another altogether to survive and thrive in that lifestyle.

And if your habit of stringing everything together extends from your written delivery to your spoken, then you've got a lot to learn about delivering a routine in a way that will hook your audience.

Thanks for your honesty.......I'm 30/M/VA.....not trying to hook up......just want to make people laugh......I've never performed in front more than 30 people.......& I agree it's hard to make it in this business.......I'm not trying to......just would like to do this on the weekends.......& if things work out .....great.......but I do have a sense of reality.......& luckily I have good people skills.......so let me axe you did your relative make it?.......just curious......

He's still in the business, and occasionally he's the #2 guy (still not headlining, though).

As for doing this on the weekends...that's not realistic. Since the weekends are when they have the biggest crowds, comedy clubs usually only put established comics on stage those nights. At the main club here in town, the guys who headline during the week get to open on the weekends. Most places give the inexperienced comics the least desirable times (ex. opening on Tuesdays) until they've proven that they are worth a bigger audience - the owners have less to lose that way.
