I do standup serious, OP. It's a lot like standup comedy but instead of getting up on stage and telling jokes you get up on stage and just talk about serious topics like famine and drought and pestilence.

Are you same Hyde?

Jeffrey of YOSPOS: Dec 22, 2005; GET LOSE, YOU CAN'T COMPARE WITH MY POWERS

One time a guy at an open mic got on stage and rapped about manatees. There were no jokes, he just conveyed information about manatees through verse. There was a collective sigh of relief as he finished, and he immediately started another similar rap about seals or something, I dunno, some other aquatic mammal.

i would like to see an entire madison square garden crowd shout out the words "cucky pizzone" to a middle aged bald guy before shooting myself right there in my lonesome hotel room

I think that they're called Ted talks.

I can already be lame and unfunny without subjecting myself to the withering judgment of a roomful of people. So I'm not seeing the benefit of doing stand-up.

And I already get heckled by random people on the street (on account of how my face looks), so it's not like I'm missing out on any part of the experience.

To get on stage the first time all i had to do was send an email and show up on time. Getting back on stage is the greater challenge. It requires social aptitude I don't really have.
My first set was a little rough but entirely successful. I was too nervous to get things out smoothly and in the order i planned, but people laughed at what I wanted them too. For a first set it was great. A supposedly more experienced comic went on after and threw up in his mouth halfway through his set. Same guy that was welcoming but expected i would bomb.

To get on stage you're supposed to show up early, and frequently, wait your turn and hope the guy running the show notices you. It's real hard to tell if you're getting anywhere or just wasting your time. There's one severely goony guy at the comic's table every week, but never gets on stage. I fear being like him; perpetually ignored but not self aware enough realize it.

Thanks for the info fellow aspiring comic goon. I'm a little confused if your first set was successful why you need "social aptitude" to get up a second time.

I got a good one about a moth and a podiatrist if anyone wants to call me
