I'm glad there's no (to my knowledge) video footage of me doing stand-up out there, or I'd panic that it might end up here.
Most of the acts I've seen that were bad were really just inexperienced or had good material but poor performance or had stage presence but no good writing to back them up. Or just not my sense of humour. Or a good act having a bad night.
Then there's the new acts that do self-indulgent routines; they seem to put their own egos before their audience's entertainment. Like some actors who do stand-up who think it's one long audition of their acting talents or just people who kust love the sound of their own voice.
Hence why gong nights rock...
Had one guy who talked to me after his set he was all, "I don't get it my mates liked it". I was very tempted to tell him you should have invited more friends then, but he was bigger than me so I left it...
