Standup Comedy

Hey all. Figured I'd share a recent anecdote. This comedy club in Washington DC hosts an annual event to find the funniest college student in the DC area. A bunch of colleges host their own comedy night and 2 winners from each college then compete at the DC club. Ive always wanted to give standup a try and I entered my college's competition and had the luck and honor of being one of the winners. So now i go to the finals and compete with kids from other colleges. This whole experience has been awesome and im psyched for the finals. So thats my story I just wanted to touch everyone in some way, without going to prison for it, so anyone else done this sort of thing before?

i admire your courage. you couldn't get me up on a stage to do standup even if my routine was written by Mitch Hedberg, Bill Hicks and Citizen Ted from alt.tasteless.

Congratulations!

Let's hear piece of it.

For me, my life is interesting enough that I don't tell jokes. I tell stories. But it sounds fun dude, I've wanted to do that for a while.

ive been through a lot in my years...the smoking, the drinking, the gambling, the women...then i turned 11....... you can use that one :D

heh.

hahaa rock on man... let us know if youre gonna be on tv or something... stand up is the best :D

Yes its a fly by the seat of your pants kind of thing. A definite rush before, during, and after. Leading a group of strangers on a trip through my psyche and coming out ok is rather therapeutic.

I did standup at open-mics for a couple of years. I had a blast and met some great people. Good luck man.
