So I just watched. Nice job. You looked very comfortable and well prepared. Pretty solid material for a first go at it. As someone who is not near you to show up, I say keep doing it. Just from what I know on the swamp you have some great stuff in your life to find material. Well done!

I believe you can just use the Facebook URL and the software of phpBB will embed it like a YouTube vid or Instagram post.

Just watched it. Impressive! I thought you did great. You've got some good material to work with.

You should feel very good about that.

In this era, it's the mark of a good joke. Keep telling them. I routinely have an opener in my head if I ever had the balls to go on stage to something of the tune of "I don't support the troops" and going off about it. It would be a dream of mine to anger Veteran Justice Warriors.

(And I quickly deleted the share. Sorry to tell you that, but I'm not engaging with Facebook until I'm retired.)

You crushed it. Great jokes, and you look natural on stage. You should definitely stick with it and keep going. Is your fiance OK with your material, because damn, a lot of women wouldn't be cool with it. You went hard.

Just watched...I think you did a great job. The natural life experience/story telling approach really works for you. If you really enjoyed it I hope you keep working at it.

I try to refrain from giving relationship advice, but she sounds like a keeper.

Other than her big boobs and great smile, the first thing that made me realize that my wife was "the one" was her occasionally nasty sense of humour.

If you look at the whole body of work Bill Hader is probably the funniest SNLer of the 21st century.

The last time someone casually mentioned doing an SNL draft, I immediately pictured Hader being my first pick and everyone else going "oh, damn I didn't think of him this high but that's actually really good!"

You could make a case for Tracy Morgan, Kristin Wiig, or Kate McKinnon, but yeah I agree that it's Hader. And I think I mentioned it before, but he's the only one who totally gets a pass when he corpses. If anything, it's funnier.

I know I did this once before here, but the video I put on facebook Im a lot more proud of than any other 3 minutes ive ever done. If any of you want to take the time to watch it I would welcome some honest feedback. Also, there is one joke in there that I am extremely proud of. It fucking killed even though my delivery wasnt the best. If one of you could take the video off facebook and put it here i would appreciate it...Johnnie, if you can manage to not share it again maybe?

This is such a hilarious take on talk shows. Tig Noraro is oblivious to pop culture, and has to guess the name of famous celebrity guests, and what they are famous for.
