Should I Attempt Stand-Up?
I'm aware that the ability to do stand up requires extroversion and some sort of ability to remember experiences that aren't horrifying... but should I try it?
When I do it, do I play a character or something? I spent a lot of my life watching television, and avoiding the assholes at my school, so how do I avoid talking about experience that I don't have?
Do I make shit up? It seems a lot of comedians make shit up, either for privacy concerns or because they too have no outside experience. A lot of modern comedians have rich families that can pay for their chud son's/daughter's shitty lifestyle choices. And weirdly enough, they have more experience in the outside world then I do (and I'm poor!). What do I even make shit up about?
Is this something I can even attempt? I know I'm funny. I know I am, but how do I do something about it? I clearly need an emotional outlet because the comic didn't work, and I clearly need to be able to afford therapy. Do I try to make it big doing crowd work or something?
I used to laugh when Brian Regan did that dumb Jerry Lewis face. I don't even laugh at the jokes I tell. When did I stop laughing?
