Stand Up Comedy

[DGMacphee]

I'm doing a stand-up comedy thingy at a comedy bar in Brisbane tonight.

I'm not really shitting my pants yet, but I imagine I will when the time comes closer -- it's about 3 hours away!

I'll tell you how it goes.

[Trapezoid]

Whoo, go DG. Be sure to post your jokes.

[DGMacphee at Uni]

Nah, I don't tell jokes.

I provide witty observations about our postmodern discourse.

Oh yeah, and dick and arse humour too.

[BruisedWeasel]

What? No prop comedy? Bah, you're gonna stink.

[Squinky]

You can never go wrong with jokes that capitalize on racial differences...

[Robert Eric]

Tell about awkward situations and places.  Like the Proctologist.

My Night As A Stand Up Comic
An essay by Daniel G Macpherson

The night was fucked -- They already had three warm-up acts and didn't need me for the night.

I'll come back next week and see if they need me.

If not, I'll just keep coming back.

However, I got to see a free comedy show and some of the acts were pretty damn funny.

Such is life -- a car crash on a mountain of ice cream.

[Trapezoid]

They had a mountain of ice cream? Awesome.

Sorry about the car crash, though.

[evil_away]

Record it for us. I would love to see...

[DGMacphee]

I'll make an MP3 for you.

But only IF I get to perform.

[Squinky]

I won't listen to the mp3, unless you promise to swear profusely....

Hey, I recently schemed to do stand-up as well. Except I intend to do bad, horribly bad.  I figure I know a few people who might point me in the right direction, the actors from the sketch comedy show I worked on are some of the funniest people in Austin (officially).  So yeah, if I can warm up a room with some witty shit, that'd be sweet.  A cool hobby at the least.

[DGMacphee]

I won't listen to the mp3, unless you promise to swear profusely....

I don't fuckin' promise anything man!

[Esseb]

Get your sister on there. She'd really kick Andrew Dice Clay and Dennis Leary's asses.

For the love of God please mention Andy Penis!

[Raggit]

Sorry to hear they didn't need you DG.

But hey, you get to do it later.

Tell a funny joke for teh ragg0t!

SING THE ANDY PENIS SONG!!! MY FRIENDS LAUGH THEIR ARSES OFF EVERY TIME I SING IT!!! Andy Penis, Andy Penis, Andy Penis...

[Raggit]

Andy Penis song?

I never heard it!!! Where can it be found?

[Layabout]

I'd be interested in watching Daniel make an arse of himself. I'd just need to know when this is happening so i can be there!!! sms me with details fool! and if you do tell me the details i promise to sledge you like crazy!!!!

an example: "my dead grandma is funnier than your ass!!!"

[evenwolf]

I'm guessing "sledge" is a regional term for "heckle".

I just had a weird vision of Layabout standing over DG with a sledge hammer.
