I imagine doing this once or twice for cash, finding out that I'm way good at it, then continually accepting jobs while knowing the other shoe is gonna drop harder each time Sounds stressful

They had me going with the guy loving up catching the rolling vegetables with the knife - so the actual gently caress up being what it was was nicely unexpected.

We had a clay Tajine and it was very brittle. I was expecting this to happen. How did this guy not know this would happen? These things are not meant for high heat.

It's all made it and written performed the same way every night. None of it is true, none of it is off the cuff. They might do a bit of crowd work to move between the written sections but more often not. Even that Stewart Lee bit is written like that. Bo Burham does a bit about it as well.

lobsterminator posted:Car people sound like they have road rage even when they are posting online. Honestly it has to be hard, knowing that your preferred form of transportation is responsible for a lot of the economic and infrastructure problems in vast swaths of the country. There are definitely car-brained people who sit in silence and take their lumps anytime it comes up, but the people who engage are clearly struggling to defend their decades-lost argument and that's probably frustrating.

None of it is true, none of it is off the cuff. They might do a bit of crowd work to move between the written sections but more often not. There's a difference between bits and stories. Bits are there not just for a laugh but to make a point, typically they're anecdotal, so they don't have to be true. Stories on the other hand might have some embellishment but generally mostly are true, depending on whether they're a natural storyteller type comic, Mike Birbiglia is one of these. You're right that most of it is not off the cuff but as a comic in a pretty thriving scene, with tons of nationally touring headliners rolling through, you can pretty well tell (as a comic at least) whether their crowdwork is formulaic or not or whether actual improv is happening onstage (it's rare but it happens, Rory Scovel does actual off the cuff things, although at the very least might have topics written down). And then there are some comics who end up getting nowhere because crowdwork and improv are ALL they can do but can't write for poo poo; and that's pretty much the dividing line for comics, those who can write and those who can't. Then you get comics like me who are jokey joke jokerson because I'm neither anecdotal nor a good storyteller Tax: Sound on https://i.imgur.com/Wmp12GN.mp4

It sounds like you'd fit right in. In fact even better if you didn't bother writing any material like literally half the shows. They need to put hard limits on the amount of improv shows.

carrionman posted:Man, I bike a 70km round trip to work and back 3x a week in steelcap boots and cargo pants. Have I been doing it wrong the whole time? Midsummer, between 3rd and 4th grade, I was biking home alone (as usual for summer) from the rec center some 1-1/2 miles from home when things took a turn for the weird. I instantly (as far as I was concerned) went from happy-kid-on-a-bike-in-summer to waking-up-on-an-elderly-couple’s-couch-spitting-blood-into-a-bowl. The bowl had entirely too much blood in it. They explained that they’d called my mom and an ambulance. When I asked how they knew my name and number, they calmly explained that I told them as they were helping me from the street into their house. They’d found me out there with a destroyed 20” Huffy, laying in a considerable pool of blood. Turns out I’d received three broken front teeth and a gnarly concussion, with one of the extremely sharp broken teeth slicing open my upper lip to the tune of seven stitches. I still have no recollection of being struck (let alone seeing anything dangerous.) The same goes for the conversation and trip into the house. Concussions (and the 1980s) suck.

I got amnesia from a bike accident when I was 7. My friend and I were playing chicken on our bikes and neither of us flinched. This being the 80s, helmets were for nerds, so I flew off my bike, landed on my head and got knocked out. I woke up some time later on our couch and had no idea who I was, who my family was or what happened. I know it’s common to not remember much from early childhood but I remember nothing before first grade.

At some point a frying pan's gonna conk you on the head, and then there's gonna be a very confused 7-year-old in an adult's body hoping their bike's okay.

Its really devastating to me to hear that most of stand-up comedy is just made-up stories. I'll have to console myself by watching some of my other favorite entertainment that I know is real and unscripted: pro wrestling.
