I’ve been following your work and your blog for long enough to know that this incident has really affected you. Just make sure not to let the few ass holes in bars ruin your day and make you cold.
You are by far the most positive comedian I’ve seen, and it seems kind of disappointing to see you rag on people so much. You do have really intelligent humor, that’s what makes it so great. I just think that with an act like yours inevitably your going to get a drunk person that would prefer black jokes. I thought you handled the incident well in the video, so don’t drive yourself crazy thinking about it.
We all do good and bad things, it’s just something we have to accept. I guess what kind of bothers me is seeing someone who has a great attitude being bothered so much by being confronted by that reality. Bring those people up to your level, don’t become angry and sink down to theirs.
That said, your totally awesome and I have no business talking like I know anything. Keep rocking on and stay as great as you’ve always been!
When I was 18 I wanted to join the marines. I wimped out and decided to go to college and become an architect. During my orientation, I had a panic attack and decided I wanted to be a comedian. I did a couple of shows (one good, one at a baby shower) and was pretty proud of myself. Not to be outdone, my wimpyness pursued me and I became afraid of what I wanted to be and stopped performing standup.
I now do oodles of improv and take even more workshops. I really love the learning process and am beginning to establish my name as an improviser in Atlanta.
Its a euphoric sensation to have people laugh at your jokes. I plan to move to New York when I’m out of college so I can pursue that passion, yet I will most likely end up poor with syphilis.
But maybe a comedy bootcamp can help get my foot in the door and give me honest criticism from tested professionals? I bring a notebook and a tape recorder everywhere I go, so absorption of infotainment is assured. That young back is handy too, and I think I could use it to carry around experienced comedians to absorb their knowledge through back osmosis. Then maybe take that video and use it as a stepping stone by getting bookings in comedy clubs and then use what I’ve learned to maybe start a web series.
I would really like to be part of comedy boot camp. Then again, everyone above me looks pretty jazzed and has written pretty aggressive essays, making them look really good. But since this is for a comedy bootcamp, I will just try to prove myself through push ups.
