So, I just finished watching The Comedy Central Roast of Dennis Leary. As far as the Comedy Central roasts I've seen recently, (Leary, Shatner, and Saget), this was definitely the least funny. Leary did the best out of all the comedians on the stage. And these were guys I like. Adam Ferrara, Mario Cantone, Colin Quinn, All guys either who's subject matter or delivery style has influenced me. But they, and the others, barely got chuckles out of me and the audience.
And that terrifies me.
Those of you that actually know me know I like to perform. I did choir, I did theater, I did what I could to be on stage. I've wanted to stand up for several years now, and I've got a solid 20-25 minutes of material. Not good for a headline, but perfect for an open mic night. It's all personal experiences, no tangents, nothing political, just spins and observations on my life. I think it's funny, and I've had some opinions, but they're fairly biased.
The guys on the roast have been practicing comedy longer than I've been ALIVE. What makes me think I can get people laughing when they can get a chuckle?
Meh, I'll be here all week, tip your waitress and try the veal.
