Stand Up Comedy Discipline

Stand Up Comedy Discipline

What’s the difference between a good comedian and a not-so-good comedian?  Jokes, folks.   A comedian without jokes is like a cat without claws and eyes.  It’s not much of a cat, really.  If a comedian is going to survive and (potentially) thrive, he’s got to develop jokes. As I’ve mentioned before, the quality of [...]

Lenny Bruce: The Comedian?

I just finished watching the movie, Lenny, starring Dustin Hoffman (i.e. the shorter fellow across Tom Cruise in Rainman) and the documentary, Lenny Bruce: Swear to Tell the Truth, narrated by Robert DeNiro (i.e. “You talking to me?”).  I was inclined to watch these films because recently I encountered Comedy Central’s list of the top 100 Comedians which ranked Lenny [...]

One Step Forward: Making Headway In Stand Up Comedy

One Step Forward: Making Headway In Stand Up Comedy

I went up on stage for the third open-mic of my life last night at Bender’s Tavern in Denver.  I prepared some new jokes and when it was finally time for me to get up, I got a little flustered. It has taken an incredible amount of energy for me to overcome my fear of the [...]
