Help Darren create a stand up comedy set!

[DarrenMcLeod]

bertuzzi thing is probably going to be taken out. this american friend of mine who is an amateur stand up helped me write it and loved it. i wasn't too keen on it but he insisted it was a must have.

since it's an online video, there are no laughs or anything... it's just a voice which is awkward.

Thanks for the help, Typhoid.

EDIT: took bertuzzi and gay thing out.

And its just a voice? Awkward.

I would have to say I liked the one about the water freezing the best.

But thats only because in my head, I said it like Mitch Hedberg. Which is how I deliver all my stand up, because that way of speaking somehow makes it funnier.

thanks, Typh.

You know, I honestly found none of that funny. I think the best humor is spontaneous, spur of the moment. I'm not really sure what kind of event this is? If it is written jokes or actual stand up comedy in front of a live audience? But if I was you I'd just get up there and start talking about whatever is on your mind and somehow find a way to make it funny. One way or another the audience will eventually find it funny and you just roll on from there.

So Darren should just wait until there's an improv contest?

I don't really watch stand-up all that often, so I hardly have any credence in this matter, however...

Aren't stand-ups supposed to kind of have a flow to them? All the one's I've seen have seemed more like hilarious one-sided conversations that could go anywhere rather than just a series of jokes... It just seemed awkward trying to read your act as one cohesive whole...

His set is not unlike something Mitch Hedberg would have come up with....which means its not bad
