Thats funny, because you're not funny.

:)

You should print out a list of the best jokes and quotes here on ATOT and read them to the crowd. If anyone laughs, you know they're a forum member.

Just use mitch hedburg's material. It's always popular and he can't sue you anymore. :evil:

Just tell the audience about your experiences with women. If you can succesfully translate your YAGT's to the stage, you got it made in the shade.


Damn, Astaroth beat me to it...

Dude repeating what other posters posted 5 times is only funny if I do it.

actually, any time you post lately, its pathetic, and we're all laughing at you, not with you.

Fixed. especially if it's your first paying gig...
no go out there and don't be nervous!

just make sure you have a few self depricating follow ups if a joke bombs.

Put this into a story and it will be funny:

The right side of your brain has nothing right in it, and the left side of your brain has nothing left in it :)

A duck walks into a drug store and tells the pharmacist, "Gimme a chapstick and put it on my bill."

Maybe the other comedian doesn't think you are funny, and only wants you to perform before him, therefore making him look twice as funny as normal.

That would be sweet.

I have no jokes, so if I were to get a gig like that, I would just have to improvise, and mostly I would get stuff thrown at me and then the bouncer would kick me out. That being said, take luck!


I coud host it and Good luck :thumbsup:
