So last week I decided that I wanted to try stand up comedy. I have always enjoyed watching it but never had the balls to try it. Last night I finally did it. I worked for a week maybe a week and a half developing an act and went for it. I think it turned out decently considering the room only had 10-15 people in it.

Let me know what you think!

Congrats for having the guts to do it.

You know, you're actually quite funny :D

You were confident and didn't have any long silences. I liked the canned vegie one.

Good luck for the future :cheer:

Thanks! I was so freaking nervous but I just did what I could. I think I could be much better once I settle down a bit. Its all for fun, I don't need to make a living off comedy. I just really enjoy making people laugh.

Seems like a really hard crowd to be honest, but good job, I laughed a few times!

Not sure about the seal gag unless you're going to go a lot further with it, didn't feel like the scene was set enough but you did really well and the material was sound. Best of luck with more practice you'll get better with your punch lines :D

Yeah I made that one up the day before. It needs some ironing out and development, but hey I gave it a shot! Thanks!

Well done, Chuck! I'd mix up the "*****" joke every now and then by ending it with "it's completely and totally true!" :))

Excellent job! I have always wanted to give that a shot...
Please tell me you a few had shots prior...There is no way I could even think about doing that with out a few nerve reducers..

The best part, you didn't try to copy anyone, you were just you, and that was funny!!

Well done!
