Hi all. I am an aspiring comedian but I don't really know how to get a bit of a following going, without getting out there and doing a bit of stand up. I was wondering if any of you lovely people have any ideas?
Also, if you are interested in having a look at what I do, check out my twitter or my blog. Cheers.
No offence, but are you a boy or a girl?
Sweeeeet.... I'm a girl. No offence taken, but you owe me, big timeeee.
I've just had a look at your blog and you seem more than a little interested in matters vaginal.
Blood clots dripping out of your fanny?
A reptile crawling into your fanny?
Such subjects are, of course, comedy gold.
Keep it up.
The comedy, I mean.
Not the reptile.
Haha cheers dude. But I resent that you think its all about my fanny. Its about my sweet ass too. Mostly having to put a plaster on it to protect my innocence during the night when I sleep somewhere new. True Story, but perhaps a story for another time.
Ha. Thanks for having a gander at my stuff, hope you will call back soon.

A South Wales girl that likes dinosaurs, yay!

I think, unfortunately, the only way to find out if your stuff is funny - IS to perform it. You can find what makes the public laugh, or just sit in silence. Be brave, go down to a local stand up night and give it a go. 
Another avenue is to film it and put it out on as many YouTube style websites as you can. At least you can edit it and control which takes the audience sees. It will help you analyse your performance without facing a room full of peeps.
In answer to the question, ask James Cotter
If you're a female comedian who talks about her vagina a lot, I think the following will take care of itself.
SlagB talks about his vagina all the time... at least, that's what he calls me in polite society.
I had a following once but I managed to shake them with a quick turn down an alley.

Yes, you could make it look as if it's talking. You could do a voice-over giving it some really funny lines.
Then when you've perfected your act and learned to talk without moving your (upper) lips, you and your girly bits could form a double act and you could tour the clubs as 'Miss Funnyfanny'.
I predict great success.
Love this post!
This is my favourite post of 2009, FACT!
