A snippet of Browns comedy...

[Crow]

I liked it but I felt the joke about facebook chat could've been executed better.

And suddenly I wish I was retarded.

[Inspecta]

Yeah there was more to facebook and more to the retard bit. As you can see, the video was 5 minutes long, but we were only supposed to get 3 min due to the large number of comics that signed up. Obviously I went over my time, and the owner is pretty cool with the regulars if they go over, but I didn't want to push it.

[Crow]

I would've probably just went with the one entire bit instead of two ok bastardized versions then. (Not that I ever think much before saying anything.)

Less is more and all that.

[Crow]

It's totally true though that I just exit facebook chats at will and its totally acceptable as a social norm, where oddly in MSN or IM it really doesn't seem to be.

[Crow]

I have a lot of respect for you going up on a stage and coming up with fresh material. I obviously like to joke around and try to be funny, but 99.9% of the time it's something reactionary or mocking of an existing concept - not anything I originally present.

Having to go up there and bounce off yourself is really something beyond - it's not too hard being funny when you play off OTHER people, entirely different trying to do it by yourself.

...

I play a game where editing on forums is not allowed so I seem to do this "triple/double post" thing a lot without even thinking about.

[Enigmatic Evil]

I love improvisational comedy. I think I would be much better at that than any kind of legitimate stand up.

I think you have got a lot more confident on stage in your videos and it shows in the kind of jokes you're willing to tell as well. I think if anything my major critique is that you should work on using your body language more to help sell your jokes. I mean I can say it easily enough from watching a youtube video but the easiest way to tell you're diving out of your comfort zone is the body language you project when you stand up there kind of shuffling around.

I think you have come a long way from the first video you posted already though man. Keep working at it your pretty damn funny.

Once again Crow, you summed it up perfectly here. And my wife basically said the same thing. Since it's a situation where I got 5 minutes per week I always feel like I gotta get to all my new material (which never happens) cause I want to hear the reaction of the crowd. But you're correct, it's better to perfect on one topic, then bastardize a bunch of smaller topics. Thanks for the feedback dude.

and EE, thanks for the observation on the body language. The owner of the club Timmy Sherril said that I need to go for it more with my body language cause that's when I'm truly in my funny zone.

I'd post my set from last week, but it was terrible. However I did have a valid excuse. I was up there with a fever of 102. I had no business trying to do comedy that night, but I'm a stubborn sonofabitch at time.

[Inspecta]

Oh and I also do Improv comedy with the Nutt House troupe', we do shows on Wed night. Improv is some seriously fun shit to do. I'll try and get somebody to tape the show this week so you guys can take a gander....

[Inspecta]

So I created a website for all of my comedic going ons, it's in it's infancy stages right now, and I might tinker with the design and appearance a bit, but I wanted you guys to check it out and let me know what you think.

Let me know if you see any broken links or weird graphics

At the bottom, you still have the default footer message from when you created the site. Also for the sake of readability I might suggest making the main text a shade of gray lighter. Other than that I didn't see anything else, looking good so far.

[Inspecta]

Ahh yes, the footer!! Thanks man, that's why I asked. Sometimes when you look at something for so long you miss the small stuff. Also I'll lighten up that font color.

Obviously I'm not master in HTML, but I wanted to keep the style simple, nothing too extravagant. My site is going to be content driven.
