UPS! Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Still rockin it, just been on the backburner since ive had a moutain of shit to do. Found a couple more places that do open mics here in Rva so ill be doing more gigs than ive been doing(2) Looking forward to it though, been writing and saving up material so my next stand should be pretty good.

MedicineCabinet Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 nice. i feel like you definitely rehearse your bits more & are generally better prepared two sets last week... one new mic - i got lucky & won a lottery spot on my first night attending. i ate fucking dog dick for the most part, though one set today - it went fairly well... i basically described my psycho mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crime stoppers Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 ive always wanted to, but ive only got a bit of situational humour going for me. prerehearsed jokes sound ridiculously forced when i try them. also i get a weird kind of stage fright. i can publicly speak with real confidence, but as soon as i try acting or throwing jokes/accent in i freeze up. not sure why, but i can only speak naturally on stage.

theprotester Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 You're funny to look at though, so that's a start. @Accents: Fuck me. No matter what accent I start off with I always end up sounding like a retarded Jamaican. WHY? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crime stoppers Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 i think the only photos ive ever put up of myself on 12oz are me wearing a kangaroo jumpsuit and a flag padlocked onto me, so i assume i would like funny, i just dont see myself doing stand-up like that. as ive learned over the last 7 months. the aussie accent, in and of itself, is a joke. people giggle their asses off when i do the full "g'day mate, im a true-blue, dinky-dy, occa battla'." i actually had a few dudes at karneval challenge my aussie-ness (despite my costume), after giving them that speech, they believed, and laughed.

UPS! Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I never thought I had the quite of humor to do rehearsed humor either, but if you have any notion at all to try it, you defiantly should do it once. Ive never had a problem speaking, acting, whatever in front of people, probbaly the only hard part is if you fuck a joke up or catch crickets, but its part of finding your comedy. Only had one gig this whole month, but I have quite a few places scheduled in March. Ill be sure to keep you fools updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicineCabinet Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 pro & stopper, you dudes should definitely try it... i think everyone should at least once - it is a good ego check & shit would probably suppress a tumor or the like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicineCabinet Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 my life is in ruins at the moment; this is unfortunately on hold, although i am still writing jokes nevertheless, feel free to rant here about anything regarding comedy, updates to your shows, & such saw this dude on stage somewhat recently - he was pretty funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
