Comedy Relief

[UncannyGarlic]

You pretty much hit the nail on the head right there (the irony is we don't want to stay here), its not really a warning, its more of a plea to get as far away from this fucking state as possible.

Oh come now, real Oregonians want to stick around, they just wish that everyone else would leave .

I must say, those jokes didn't wake any reaction in me :/

Agreed, the humor isn't coming through. A lot of it's in the performance but I'm just not seeing where the humor in those jokes is. The tatoo one could have some potential (depending on the crowd) but I'd say that it needs refinement.

yes, I've seen the humor, but none of the jokes was enough to make me laugh or even smile. There are lots of ways of making sex jokes, but this way isnt the good way.
I'm not saying that you suck, maybe your friends laugh with your jokes, but if you made that kind of comedy here in Brazil, you would get lots of fake smiles. You sure are going to have some problems doing a great group of people from different cultures laughing.

Good Luck pal.

yeah but reading them on paper is totally diferent.

its not my cup of tea i admit, but i think #1 and the penis one have potential for a crowd. Remember is all about target. ^^

yeah especially number one, but please lose the secound one. Pissing angels is kinda meh...

sorry for typos, wrote on the fly.

Well my suspicions are becoming reality. Asking for advice on a forum about stand-up comedy is about as useful as asking a blind gay guy for directions to the nearest titty-bar.


Stand-up comedy loses it's meaning (if there's any besides laughs) and effect on paper.
Comedy is all about playing the crowd. A good comedian is a comedian who can adjust his attitude to his jokes and his jokes to that which strikes a chord with most of the audience. The atmosphere, and 'where one goes, others will follow' will do the rest.

Trying to convince a software analyst who just jacked off to a picture of Barbra Streisand on the toilet of his software engineering company to laugh about a written stand-up piece of a smiley- tattoo based on the gland of a penis is as hard as, well, trying to convince a software analyst who just jacked off to a picture of Barbra Streisand on the toilet of his software engineering company to laugh about a written stand-up piece of a smiley- tattoo based on the gland of a penis.


Don't think I didn't test this material before I posted it, I just wanted to make sure. Besides, I don't really care about my jokes being bad to some, as long as I cash in that €250,- cheque for my 30 min. act.



I won't do any more updates besides video's. Thanks for the effort anyway guys, appreciate it.

I'm sure you know about Jason Rouse and he's a perfect example of this. he's so outrageous he's funny even when he goes too far.

Do you mean Sean Rouse? Because Sean Rouse is hilarious.

Blue humor is used in stand- up comedy like oil is used in cooking. You can't avoid it.
And to answer your question, YES, I like crude sexual humor, as does about 92,554382% of Earth's population.

This is a misconception. There are many extremely good comedians who dip into the blue ink either rarely or never. Bill Cosby, Jerry Seinfeld, Brian Regan...

In fact, I'd say going dirty is for experts only. It's easy to do, but extremely difficult to do well; if you can't be funny clean, you aren't really funny. And if you think everyone appreciates blue humor except the prudes out there, then you're unaware of the real attitudes of your audience members. If you constantly slap them in the face with dirty jokes right off the bat, you're going to be alienating at least as many people as you're entertaining - probably more.

There's nothing wrong with that as long as you know you're doing it, and you have a plan. Like I said, that's for experts only.
