Stand Up

So I love doing Improv that is a given, but one thing I always have wanted to do is Stand up. I think it's so funny, and lately I've had a lot of people start telling me how funny I am. Like Charlie Brown, he's been doing Improv longer then I am and he finds me quite funny. Then what is fantastic is being an Antic I've gotten to know some people out there in the funny community of Improv and Stand-up. In fact I met last weekend with stand up comedian Collin Williams who gave me so many tips on how to get started and things to stay away from and a lot of good technical stuff. He's AWESOME! So since then I've been trying to write as much as I can. Just anything I think is funny. So far my best jokes are extremely geeky. For example...I grew up watching both Star Trek and Star Wars...I guess people would call me Bi-Starsual, but like a lot of Bi-starsuals I have a preference...mine happens to be Star Wars, but I won't say no to a little Star Trek every now and then. See what I mean, pretty geeky. Or my Sith Lord jokes, how I am a Sith Lord or wish I was one, I need to figure out a transition on those but I'm a fan of them. Then I think my best joke involves Hershey's chocolate kisses and Naked Smoothies...I'm sure you can see where I'm going with that. The tough place is finding a place to get started. I mean I doubt I'll have a very funny first show, well actually second I did have to do some stand up in my intermediate theatre but I doubt I was that extremely funny, I mean I got a few laughs when I said the word "Boner" but I think those would be more cheap laughs. But I do have a good deal of connections and a good number of people do find me amusing so hopefully this will be my start to getting my foot in the door. Wish me luck!
