stand up comedy

[Little Green Man]

cheers chaps. I've given mr magic a pm, hopefully hear summat back.

If you ask him nicely he might let you borrow out his werewolf routine.

Getting up to do your own stand up routine must be one of the most difficult, and is certainly one of the bravest things that anyone can do. No instrument to hide behind, no-one to blame if it goes wrong, and an audience of people - nearly all of whom think that they can do it better than you, secretly hoping you're not funny so that they can boo you off, and not a one of them with the bollocks to do what you're doing.

Get up there, Kinty. The very best of luck to you. I, for one, admire your spirit.

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Gerroff.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo gerrof

Timings quite important..

My advice would be to write some gags/ideas down and practise it, much like you would a speech. At least then you won't flounder and can move on to the next gag.

go to an open mic night

just recorded myself doing a 'five minute' set, as seems common at most open mics. Took me ten minutes.

Think some editing/more fluency is needed. Ever so slightly.

You'll need to allow some time for the heckling though...
