has anyone ever tried their hand at or succeeded to some degree in comedy? stand up, writing, cartoons, whatever...

if so, how did you get your start?

and i'll save the first "you're not funny" reply, i'm just curious.

For every bad joke I tell ATOT, 10 more were weeded out for not being funny enough IMO. So if I blathered on and on for an hour, you might grin twice. Once if I don't trip and fall :eek:

I did an open mic thing once.

Got some good chuckles, a good amount of groans, but it is definately harder than you think.

Why not look around for open mic nights? Give it a shot.

Normal people would never laugh at the nerdy jokes that everyone posts here.
