25yearsMLC 10 Later I FILE D part 8

[25yearsmlc]

doodler - feel free to drop by my thread on MLC with the jokes. It's a sad and boring place right now where all I have to write about these days is the 23 year old with large breasts (yes it was a woman) who was at my house last night complaining about her boyfriend. I gave her candy.

I tried to tell a joke over on Huddy's thread but I think I scared him off.

jokes work at comedy clubs, or to find the silver lining or when the person NEEDS a laugh.

But there are times when the pain is so real, recent r raw that the "joker" may be trying to detach from their own discomfort and so, makes a joke that just does not help. It detracts.

That was my point (time & place, etc).

I'm be doing some comedy work on stage again and a small part will be dedicated to h, but he's not going to be the center of my world much longer. I want him to be in the position of irrelevance he so richly deserves


ANYHOW, if you are really seriously in doing comedy for real, (Jewishness not needed) then I recommend you get Judy Carter's book on Stand Up Comedy Bible, or the Comedy Work book, b/c she's got the vehicles for you to structure your own material into a format that works. She shows you how to find/create your authentic comedy into the usual set up punch line format.

And it'll all be your own material, so good luck with that.
