Do you think you could be a good stand up comedian?

[bigpauly]

[Chazmatazz269]

Not really. I probably have the foundation on which to build, but i take rejection very poorly and there are metric fuck tons of rejection, bombs, shit shows and NO MONEY before you can have a career as a stand-up. It’s more work and much harder than most people think. That’s why i think we should be allowed to beat hecklers to death with no consequences.

[bigpauly]

Yes I’ve heard that it takes like 10 years just to be able to make it as one

[Ill_made_Knight]

It's like that with performing arts in general I think... I recall Huey Lewis saying something like "It took 15 years of hard work and disappointments to become an overnight sensation"

[bigpauly]

@Ill_made_Knight lol that sounds right.

[ChiTown33]

I was told many times back in school that I should be a comedian. But there's a big difference between cracking wise and making people laugh, and doing it professionally. I think I'd hate it if it were my job. Also I've been to enough comedy clubs to know there's always some a**hole who thinks he's funny and wants to try to impress his friends by heckling. I would be a mean comic. And you really can't do that. Because at the end of the day they paid and you have to promote your brand. Ask any of my friends. We flip eachother s***, but most won't challenge me ecause I'm merciless and will bury them. I know this makes me sound mean but I'm not. Busting balls is war, and I don't typically lose. 🤣

[Emiliamazing]

I am really good in front of public audiences, very comfortable so to speak. But I don't think I'm terribly funny, I'm not very good at making fun of others in all honesty :-).

[bigpauly]

I’ll write your jokes

[Emiliamazing]

Perfect! I hope they're all not focused on tall people!

[bigpauly]

No I wouldn’t make you make fun of yourself, lol

[whereismyjohnny]

God, no. 😶

I wouldn't even be able to tell a joke because I laugh before telling it. Plus my sense of humour (if I can even call it that lol) is pretty weird. 😅

[bigpauly]

Aww haha well you have a fun personality nonetheless

[whereismyjohnny]

Thank you! The same goes for you.

I think you could be a good one tho 😆

[bigpauly]

Thanks! Ha it seems to stressful for me, thanks for saying that though!

[MCheetah]

I've done it before on open mic nights. I got a few laughs. I can be VERY self-deprecating, in a Louis CK kind of way. But coming up with new material is hard. So yeah, I could be good at it.

[bigpauly]

Not many have it in them to be self deprecating

[matchrestore]

My co-workers have tried to convince me to do an open mic night at a comedy club. The problem is my humor is very situational and no one besides the people who were in the room with me at the moment would get the joke. I'll settle for entertaining my coworkers on jobsites and leave the standup to other people.

[letuswaltzforthedead]

Not really, sending memes and short clips is as far as my sense of humor goes. I wouldn't mind going to see a comedy show since I never have.

[bigpauly]

Some social media platforms seem to consider meme posters comedians now, lol.

Comedy shows are a great time, you should definitely go to one!

[letuswaltzforthedead]

Yeah, there's plenty of shitposts accounts online but most of them are stolen memes lol. At least there's a meme for everything. Have you been to a show?

[bigpauly]

Yes, literally everything lol.

Yes I’ve been to a few. It’s a good time

[letuswaltzforthedead]

Which shows have you gone to? I imagine it'd be fun, better than edgy 13 year olds on the internet lol (can't really make fun of them too much since I'm barely a few years older lol).

[bigpauly]

To be honest I don’t remember the names. They were just people coming local that friends or family bought tickets to.
It’s a lot of fun because of the live atmosphere. Everyone sharing laughs and hearing unique jokes.

[letuswaltzforthedead]

That's fine, there's usually a few shows nearby where I live, of all sorts, but I've never been to one before. I remember a teacher of mines had recommended this site that lets you look up nearby shows (it included theatre shows too and she was the school's drama teacher so that's why).

[bigpauly]

That makes sense, lol.

Yes definitely do it! There are also a lot of comedians that came to colleges. I don't know if they still do that but it was cool. You could see shows a lot cheaper or even free

[letuswaltzforthedead]

lol, usually the only adults that appear at my school (beside the usual stuff) are usually military recruiters so I didn't know that was a thing. I hope it is lol. Either way, a afternoon of just jokes is great if you're in the mood, i figure it's even better in person.

[bigpauly]

Yes there is a lot more to college than you might think depending on where you go.

Either way I hope you get to see a show sometime soon!

[ShadezMcgee]

Long term, no. Open mic comedy night for sure. Tried it and did pretty well.

[bigpauly]

Awesome!

[melanieeeB]

Yeah sure, but I guess I would be the only one laughing lol

[bigpauly]

As long as you’re having fun lol

[linka_pat307]

Yea, and if others are smiling and showing expressions I want to see

[TheorionMage]

George Carlyn! The patron saint of societal irony comedy! <3
Toward his end, he'd become acerbic and angry
BECAUSE while he WAS entertaining... like in Garfunkle's "Sounds of Silence"
his words like silent raindrops fell, and echoed in the wells-of-silence.
"Hear my words that I may REACH you... that I may TEACH you~

[AngryCarl]

I doubt it. I can make people laugh but I'm very deadpan. As a stand up you need to have a rapport with the audience, which I don't think I could do. Good comedy is all about timing and delivery, well good material helps of course.

I saw a hilarious stand up comedian on YouTube, a guy called Steve Hughes. His timing and delivery was awesome.

[SnowedIn]

Delivery? Yes! I'd nail that.

Developing material? Nope.

[bigpauly]

Lets get you some writers!

[SnowedIn]

It's kinda ironic: at my last job I was the speechwriter for my boss (which I acknowledge is way different than comedy).

[bigpauly]

I’m sure you have it in you!

[nolabels]

As much as I love stand-up comedy, I wouldn't stand a chance in the world of being good at it!

I'm able to successfully pull off recitals of other comedian's work, but coming up with my own material, not a chance.

[dustybiker]

No. I’d be awful. My humor is dry and fast. It comes to me infrequently.

[sirderpsalot123]

Very dry... lmao

[dustybiker]

@sirderpsalot123 I hand out water to those who need it. Just ask.

[HighValue]

For a conservative crowd, yes. For a crowd with democrats, no.

I can also make elementary aged and middle school aged kids laugh pretty often too. It helps with making classroom management easier.

[exitseven]

I teach at a local college and I sometimes inject humor into my lectures. The kids seem to think I am funny or maybe they just laugh so I give them a better grade.

[AddylynnNightingale]

Only when I am pissed off. They'll be rants, but they'll be funny rants.

[bigpauly]

I’d go to your shows

[AddylynnNightingale]

Buy the vip tickets.

[bigpauly]

Just ordered them!

[Wicked_Witch]

Yes I do! What do you call it when Pauly waves?

[Wicked_Witch]

A microwave!

[Wicked_Witch]

@PrettyPriya @ashleywonders @blackcupcake

[PrettyPriya]

@wicked_witch 🤣🤣🤣

@Agape93

[Agape93]

Lmfao xD that was good

[Wicked_Witch]

@Agape93 😅 thanks! I’m tiny myself so I’ve had a collection of memes and jokes that people used on me in the past saved. This is just the first time I can actually use them on someone else!

[Agape93]

Lol xD

[bigpauly]

Lmao dammit

[Wicked_Witch]

@bigpauly you do take jokes well. I have to hand it to you.

[Wicked_Witch]

Otherwise you’d never reach it! 😸

[bigpauly]

😂😂 oh like you can reach much higher 😒

[PrettyPriya]

Gives reaching for the stars a new meaning when Pauly does it.

[Wicked_Witch]

@PrettyPriya yes, we should think of something lower for him to have a chance!

[PrettyPriya]

@wicked_witch "Reach for that sippy cup!"

[Wicked_Witch]

@PrettyPriya Lolz! we don’t want him to make a mess, though! 😸

[PrettyPriya]

@wicked_witch I suspect he has a collection of those sippy cups that you can knock over without spilling. We couldn't trust him with the juice boxes we used to give him when cranky.

[PrettyPriya]

@emiliamazing knows what I am on about. 🙂

[Blackcupcake]

lmfao…. Don’t forget the tiny spoons to feed babies…

[Wicked_Witch]

@PrettyPriya great someone thought ahead! 😹

[Wicked_Witch]

@Blackcupcake I wonder if those look like pitchforks to Pauly.

[Blackcupcake]

@wicked_witch hmmm you’re right… we have to find a smaller one💀

[Wicked_Witch]

@Blackcupcake maybe they made one for those Lego guys?

[PrettyPriya]

https://thelegobaker.wordpress.com

[Wicked_Witch]

@PrettyPriya awww!

[Wicked_Witch]

I’m sure those would be perfect for Pauly

[Blackcupcake]

@Wicked_Witch omg smart!!!

[Wicked_Witch]

@Blackcupcake thank you. I have to look out for those tinier than myself 😇

[Emiliamazing]

@PrettyPriya Hey, if he is up on a stage telling jokes that means he's not spilling anything on my new furniture!

[Vikkrram]

Yes i am one of the comedians coz when i stand in front of people they do start to laugh on me widout even i had told anything to them.

[Red-Blaze]

No way
I can't stand infront of a crowed like that
Also Standup needs so much prep work I got no way I be able to pull off

[DribbleGodCurt]

Yeah, your dicks so small it looks like your balls are giving a thumbs up.

[FunkyMonkee]

Possibly. I've toyed with the idea for years and a lot of people say I'm very funny so, maybe I'll give it a try.

[PinkRose24]

I'm more of situational comedy type of personality. Stand up is probably the hardest comedy to do.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

I can’t do stand up comedy I’m lazy bastard I rather do sit down comedy instead.

[anonanonanonomys]

Absolutely not. Some people have the humor sauce and others don't.

[Fireguy17]

I have done it, made people laugh, but I really didn't want to pursue it.
I don't think I was that good.

[Lionman95]

No, I have a hard time say things quickly. I´m terribly at joke telling.

[BCA6010]

No. My jokes and sense of humor heavily rely on playing off of other people or situations.

[Kreneman]

Yes, but I would preferred to still learn and train myself because I want to be prepared for the Spotlight.

[loveslongnails]

No, I tried it. Good standup comedy is difficult. Anyone can be bad at it!

[TacosRAwesome]

No way. I am accidentally funny not purposely funny.

[Jamie05rhs]

Probably not. I'm not big on facial expressions. I'm very reserved.

[Msputiton]

Naw. My humor is more reactive

[bigpauly]

And you can’t bring me up there just to rip on.

[Msputiton]

Exactly 😭

[bigpauly]

Lmao punk

[CuriousMufuxka]

After I got booed off at least 3 times, I would kill!

[PainusNdeeAnus]

No it’s harder than people think plus I hate públic speaking it’s gives me great anxiety

[Teriyaki70]

Na people have always said I'm funny but I don't plan on what to say, it just happens

[888theGreat]

Yep i think so, but I hate to travel so it wouldn't work out

[Agape93]

Nope, my humor is dark as hell.

[bigpauly]

Really? I haven’t noticed 😂

[Agape93]

Why did the lady return her brand new toaster, whilst crying her eyes out?

[bigpauly]

Oh lord..

Why?

[Agape93]

She found out it was waterproof

[bigpauly]

Lmao.

Yea that’s dark alright

[Agape93]

What has had more men in it than a cheap prostitute, but never got loose?

[bigpauly]

👀 what?

[Agape93]

A noose

[bigpauly]

😂😂 wow

[Agape93]

Lol I can get worse xD

[bigpauly]

I’m sure you can, lol

[Agape93]

A woman goes to get surgery on her labia because they're too big for her liking. She tells the doctor

"Don't tell anyone about this!"

To which the doctor agrees, and the surgery is performed. When she wakes up, she sees 3 roses on the table beside her. Furious, she calls the doctor.

"I told you not to tell anyone!"

To which the doctor replied

" I didn't, one rose is from me for the experience, the second is from the nurse who assisted me, and the third is from a burn victim two floors up, for giving him his new ears."

[bigpauly]

😂😂😂

[Agape93]

You know what's harder to get off, than someone in wet skinny jeans?

[bigpauly]

What? Lol

[Agape93]

Nothing

[bigpauly]

Lmao nice surprise punchline

[Agape93]

Thanks lol and it's true. Jfc

[TrueConfection]

No. I'm not even a good audience member. 😳

[exitseven]

Take my Thursday night class.

[TrueConfection]

@exitseven Is it comedy hour?

[exitseven]

It is 3 hours of fun

[TrueConfection]

@exitseven Woohoo!

[exitseven]

😃😃😃😃

[Xawyx-2]

I don't think so, it's much easier to be a tv or movie comedian.

[linka_pat307]

Yap, very good one

[bigpauly]

Get up on the stage!

[linka_pat307]

Ookie

[TroyDT2]

Nope. But I think you could pull it off.

[bigpauly]

Aww thanks

[DrBanana]

Yes but a very bad one haha 😂

[bigpauly]

Just stick to providing medical care through your potassium

[DrBanana]

Haha for sure.

[Fuentes]

Nah I would be canceled lol

[bigpauly]

Do underground shows

[lightbulb27]

I wouldn't last 2 weeks doing that.

[MementoMori777]

No I'm not funny on purpose

[SaoirseS]

Probably.

[bigpauly]

*hands you mic

[SaoirseS]

I’m sitting down. Can’t be a good stand up without standing up.

[bigpauly]

lol well get off your tush! The people want to be entertained

[SaoirseS]

Truth is stranger than fiction, all I have to do is launch into funeral home stories involving kids.

[bigpauly]

Lmao now I’m curious

[SaoirseS]

You might want to look at a couple of my mytakes.

[bigpauly]

Will do!

[CoolCatMar1]

Me nooo never

[bigpauly]

I’ll stand on your shoulder like the little devil in cartoons and give you jokes to say

[CoolCatMar1]

Hahaha thank you!!

[bigpauly]

Lmao you’re welcome! We will be a great team lol

[CoolCatMar1]

I agree! I am shitty at making jokes maybe rarely i will say something funny my boyfriend has a better sense of humour i mostly get offended by obvious jokes so yeah hahahha leave it at that🤣

[bigpauly]

Haha that’s fine! You have a fun personality and that’s what matters

[CoolCatMar1]

Yeah my personality is definitely fun just not my sense of humour hahah

[sirderpsalot123]

Lol, no...

[bigpauly]

Just read off jokes from the back of laffy taffys

[sirderpsalot123]

I don't do well with public speaking. Everyone has to turn around. They aren't allowed to look at me.

[bigpauly]

That shouldn’t be a problem.
*stares at you

[sirderpsalot123]

How can you tell the ocean is friendly?

[sirderpsalot123]

It waves.

[sirderpsalot123]

Did you hear about that fire at that circus? It was in tents!

[bigpauly]

Lmao are you actually looking up laffy taffy jokes now?

[sirderpsalot123]

Annoying my girlfriend with them as we speak. 😂

[bigpauly]

😂😂😂

[HippieVeganJewslim]

No, but many disagree.

[NathanDavis]

I'm a bad joke already

[Bella_Rose_1998]

I think yes, why not?

[Anonymous]

Yeah but the Liberals would get me banned.

[KostasKouvalis]

Honestly yeah

[Snedger____]

Nope.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

We Willa see

[insteadfew]

Absolutely no
