Is the the forum for that art? I've been doing stand up for 6 months and...well...anyone else out there?

Well this looks fun... what do a spinning back kick, a flight of stairs, and a gallon whiskey have in common? All can be used for abortions.
yea, just a hobby. Might take it full time. had a few shows in a few states. Did a comedy competition that lasted through Mardi Gras.
Yeah ive done it for about 3 months now, im prety good actually, but.. i live in Canada, and Canada sucks balls so i gotta wait like a year or 2 to move to New York You dont know how lucky you are living in the states.
And modest, too *wink wink* Seriously, though, I was considering doing stand-ups for a bit, but my problem is that I get witty when I have a good conversational opponent to bounce jokes off, otherwise I don't get creative. Maybe a two-person show can work for me.
Theres this competition in canada called Yuk Yuks great Canadian Laugh Off or something like that, the winner gets 25k and they aired the finals on tv. If i knew of this i would have signed When i saw who won, i almost had a heart attack. its a fecking shame to comedy and whoever judged this competition should be imprisoned FOR LIFE. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/W2Y62Io5dGs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Ahhh, is that what's called comedy these days? There was a similar one in Chicago a few years ago and it was again won by someone like this.
I have a few friends that have given it a go. Some are brutally bad, one is pretty good. I'll go to these amateur comedy nights and am surprised at how good some people are. Most are awful, but there's usually 2-3 that are genuinely funny. I imagine it's a brutally competitive business.
Not only is it competitive its notoriously unrewarding especially the deserving, just ask the likes Patrice Oneal, Bill Burr, Nick Di Paolo and co. what they think of Whitney Cummings and her new show.
