The Swamp

TT...so what is your style
Story teller? Observational Humor? One Liner? Experimental? Comparison comic ("white people like....."), Hacky def jam? I want a full report on this one.

the video is on fb. i have it in email and will put it here if someone knows how or i can email to soeone to put here

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.

Try it for me? i cant get fb to give me a link

(At first I fucked up and shared it to my page. Congrats. That's the first thing I've "posted" to Facebook in over 2 years.)

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.

OMG, that shit was hilarious, btw. Loving the Gremlins joke.

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 love her because she genuinely will let me say anything if it might be funny

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.

She is amazing and i love her...if nothing else i have to keep the relationship because she gives me material without trying

Man, these guys are hilarious.

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

And here we are agreeing. Quite the dichotomy.

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 want to add Maya Rudolph, but that's probably incorrect.

One way to find out?

if anybody wants to see a video of me trying to go dark humor and bombing gimme an email address. i wont ever post it online but yall can watch it

so i might hypothetically have a friend willing to flash her tits at a comedy club for 20$ for a bit about saving money on strip clubs. I cannot possibly see me not at least trying that joke tuesday

If you can get that up on Twitter, you might get famous!

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?

Here you go.

Like the pain killer drug dealer age premise. Could see that developing into a solid bunch of minutes and call back closer.

much obliged

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.

Six weeks agoish I came on here and posted a couple open mic things, just trying to have hobbies and shit, and today I got a text confirming my first actual gig on july 15th. its only going to be 10 minutes but still. I feel like thats not fucking bad for six weeks

Not bad at all, dude. Not bad at all. You've had a quite a last few months. You should be proud of what you're doing with your life.

That's awesome. I feel like I'm following a live version of The Marvelous Mr. TT

That is, in fact, awesome TT. Congrats.

Niiiiice!!
