Sooty, have you read my posts? Seriously?
First gig 23rd. Brickin' it Page 5
Yup all of them.
I was started to wonder if you'd been the BCG equivalent of fraped.
Im going to take it out, have a good joke later on going to move it to the start. Have another bit to put in to replace the start. Also debating changing the song at the end. God this isnt easy.
The guy that runs the comedy club also runs a standup course that I have signed up to starting on Sat. Will take this piece to him see what he thinks as he knows the Irish scene well.
If it's your first gig no one minds if you take your notes on stage.
And secondly the one and only time you know you're getting this writing lark right. Is when you cut good stuff you like.
Good stuff, do tell us which joke you choose?
I had lots written, couldn't fit in everything I wanted. Going to start with.
Social networks there are just too many of them now.
Facebook, Myspace, twitter all these social networks
When I was younger all we had was one
Called the world wide Out ...frickin ...Side
All the kids are, whats this outside he speaks off
Does it come for Xbox
I heard its rubbish , only one world to explore.
Do you think when the finished cremating Steve Jobs they said there you go Jobs well done.
Then go into the story about walking the dog on the beach and meeting/hitting my ex with the ball.
The start might change again before tomorrow night.
Ooh Steve Jobs along with Pratchett's alzheimer is guranteed a booing seriously, they're worse than Maddy. But take out the Steve Jobs bit andthat's fine.
Hmm 2 quickies
Tuumblr, the only way you make friends with Tumblr is if it's full of whiskey.
Myspace, is so unpopular it's literally myspace.
I used to have a joke
"ipads are expensive they cost an arm and a leg, or a pancreas basically which ever bit of Steve Jobs stopped working that week"
then he died and so did my joke.
Go with something less confrontational for your first joke.
Good luck man!

Leigh, please ignore this. Do the gags you want, not the ones Sooty wants. He does his own to suit his persona, you will do yours. As it happens I can see your Jobs (throaway) gag getting a nice reaction if you deliver the rest well.
Jeez Badge you're in a sour mood.
And besides when did you last do any standup?
Oh and Jobs well done is well known. So it's a great gag if you want a heckler throwing a punchline back at you.
Tomorrow mate. I am not being sour, just suggesting the OP should do his own gags.
I asked past tense?
I've been gifted a couple of gags that really work for me.
You know what I'm grateful for them.
No need to get Dogme about it.
I don't think you need to have done ANY stand up to work out why your gags aren't going to be great for Leigh.
Are you saying they're bad perse?

Don't be so sensitive! But yes, I think your gags on this thread are a tad ropey. I emphasise, on this thread.
I have to say I disagree, I'd be delighted to see what fine gags you've been working on.
They're not my best stuff but they're passable.
Where's the gig?
