Re: Help Darren create a stand up comedy set!
Comedy isn't just the jokes. It's the character telling them. Since when did we all become experts on comedy?
That said, that's a perfectly good act. You could say that straight; with the right delivery that could be killer.

Re: Help Darren create a stand up comedy set!
Thank you guys so much for your positive feedback, and even the negative stuff. As long as you're not idiots saying "this **** sucks," then it's all helpful.
As you've all mentioned, Stand Up comedy is not something that translates well to anything other than a person standing up in front of you telling jokes - go to the website and watch how terrible everyone there is. without an audience and without the atmosphere, wihtout the PERSON... it's all terrible.
Here's a new joke:
Recently I've been getting some publicity. I even had my picture in a book, you might have heard of it, it's called the, uh, year book

"I've been getting some publicity as of late... My work was published on a local website, crediting me as 'W/m about 6’1, approximately 140 lbs, long bro hair'."...

Re: Help Darren create a stand up comedy set!
Darren, you can add this to your material... It's been sitting on my mind for a long time...
'Ya know I love old fashioned things.. thats why I own a VCR. Cuz I can go to the store and rent a movie and easily make a copy. Now I noticed this FBI thing everytime I watch the movies... Is that really a crime? I'd be in a cell one day and say.. 'hey.. what you here for?' and they'd say 'i killed a man!.... you?' ... I would be like 'well damn, i had made a copy of Ace Venture Pet Detective!"

In Soviet Russia, calendar schedules you!
Not sure where it's from. I learned it from my friends here. Communist jokes are always funny.

I went to a Jazz festival in Idaho once, and one of the tenor saxophonists who is there every year is a Russian named Igor Butman. The year I went, there was this clinic, and it turned out being just a long boring talk fest for this guy named Pete Christlieb. He went on and on about his father and how he played basoon for the Wizard of Oz movie, and his time with the Max Weinberg group, and blah blah blah money blah blah blah.
So Igor Butman comes up, and his only advice is, "In Soviet Russia, cheque cashes you."
Standing ovation.

Re: Help Darren create a stand up comedy set!
I would just say that while I laughed at a lot of your jokes.
Sometimes, it is also very important for the set up and transations to work well. And I don't see how some of those jokes flow together, but eh.

Did you hear about the thing that was gray with a trunk? My grandma said it was an elephant but I told her it was just a mouse on vacation!

I'm more of a one-liner comic, like Mitch Hedberg or Steven Wright.
