Hairy,

How about finding an open mic night at one of the comedy clubs around town (if you have one)...you'd be wonderful at that, and think of all the material you could use from your own life!!

I sing publicly (and no one throws stones at me, haven't noticed any ears bleeding either)...because it does give me satisfaction, it makes ME feel good inside to have people enjoy what I'm doing...and receive that positive energy. For me it definitely helps to go do this when I'm feeling down, or lacking something in my R (you know during those really down times)...it's my way to fill that void for a time and build my energy levels back up. Of course I feel I need to qualify that statement....it's my time on stage and the energy from the audience that fills the void, it's not the attention from other people....that is something I keep a firm boundary on. My wedding ring is ALWAYS on, my H is brought up in conversations (and is very usually close-by playing pool).

With your sense of humor though, I think something like this might work for you too. Just a suggestion. Personally, I think you would be excellent at this.
