You've actually inspired me to an extent.
I've been thinking more and more lately that I should get into stand-up; its always been a dream of mine because I've always had a talent at making people laugh. You've inspired me because you've shown me that comedians have to start somewhere, and you've kinda relieved me of a lot of anxiety of trying to be perfect on the first try.
I'm jotting down some material but its hard for me to format it into a deliverable way so that I can reference old jokes in new jokes and vice versa.
Thanks for sharing it with us, it takes guts to get up there and especially to put it on the web.
Keep up the good work man!

You should definitely try your hand at stand-up. A lot of people think it's really easy to just get up on a stage and talk, but it's a lot harder and more challenging than just that. I'm definitely going to keep working at it and thank you for the compliment. I hope you have some fun writing and performing your stand-up too! Let us know how it goes.Well after I saw this thread, I looked up the biggest comedy club in the area. (Dayton, Ohio woohoo?) And asked them about open mic night.
Tonight was an open mic night, and it started at 8pm. I was so excited, nervous, and fearful. I was debating whether or not I should wait till next week and regret not doing it tonight, or to stick it out tonight and take a chance.
Once I spoke with my best friend, he told me that I was funny and I know it and he got me inspired to go tonight. So I threw up, I went down there to sign up, and they didn't have an audience tonight. It was a test of faith going down there, and I know now that I have the balls to do it.
Now I just have to wait until this coming thursday. =P
I'll be sure to let you know how it goes.
I'm excited to see how it goes. Don't get worried and think that you have to have 30 minutes or even ten minutes of material. Just get on stage and give it your best. I've never vomited, but courage is a big part of it. And remember, even if you bomb, you had the nerve to go up there and try something new and different... and you can always go back again, and again, and again. Let me know how you fair either here or at my YouTube page. http://www.youtube.com/user/bsw5044
