Hello Funny People

I have been reading many of the threads in the forums like a sneaky cyber stalker and I figured I should sign-up so I could participate in some of the chit-chat.

I am nearing 40 years of age and so far in life it would be fair to say that I am a loser. Rather than have a nervous breakdown I have decided to have a go at stand-up comedy (it worked for Jimmy Carr).

I am hoping that this site will help me get started and I look forward to an interesting relationship with the other members until I am too wealthy and paranoid to continue posting in the forums.

My biggest influences in comedy are (in no particular order):

Richard Pryor
Dave Allen
John Lloyd
Laurel & Hardy
Bill Hicks
Spank! You Love It
Mark Thomas
and everyone else who has ever made me laugh & cry!

- See you in the other parts of the forums soon

Welcome aboard, Bob.

Some of the most interesting people in the world didn't know what to do with their lives until 50. Welcome.

Hey I'm also a starting out stand up comedian so if you want help with anything feel free to ask

Welcome, you can't go worse than having Bill Hicks in your profile

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone

I chose the name "Bob Hicks" because Bob Marley & Bill Hicks have been very important to me while growing up.

My profile picture is a combination of the two but I guess my photoshop skills let me down because it kinda looks like just a picture of Mr Hicks

Ah, I thought he was wearing some kind of large Russian hat!

Hello there
