A place to perform?

Hi I was wondering if I could get some analysis for my stand up?

I'll film a 2 minute thing in a couple of hours and post the link.

Would everyone be cool with that?

Definitely! Get. It. On.

Bat 'er up, Fin.

The worlds most polite stand up ever!

These Scottish folk are lovely people, what else would you expect?!

I'll have the vid in a moment but here's the script: converted out of noted format into full written version.

Hi, just to give you some perspective I'm in inverness, which is 3 hours north of glasgow, which is ten minutes north of civilization. So you'll excuse me if I am interrupted by an angry nomandic druid at some point in this video.

But anyway I've become more pious.. ..well really I've just read the bible. Interestingly though.. it's copyrighted, it says so "holy bible" "copyright god" Are they seriously implying that someone might steal their religon?

"I'm writing a book"
"Oh really whats it about"
"Oh just some dude who's like a father and a son and a ghost at the same time. He gets nailed to some sticks and wants us to believe in him so he can save our soul."
"Wow thats a pretty cool plotline, strange no one else has picked up on something similar"

I mean thats just mad.

But one story I am interested in is the tale of Abraham. He had to kill his own son as a task for god. So if you think I'm a celebrity is tough, wait till ye get to heaven. Anyhoo he's got his son tied up on some stick ready to burn, and he's raised the knife, and just when he was about to stab him. An angel flies in thier and breaks it up and tells him it was a test and tells them all to go home.

Yeah.. ..and you think picking your son up late from football practise is an awkward ride home.

I can see him calling his son up later

"hey isaac wanna come over for a barbecue?"

"DAAADDD!"

But I feel strange mixing humour and religon, I think it's the whole hell deal. You know that scary place of torture and eternal pain where us brits stand around going "Well I'm not paying the heating bill, if satan thinks I'm going to fork over for this every month he can forget it."

But I have a plan to get out. I'll just tunnel my way, I mean realy what can satan do.. ..kill me?

Something that catches people of gaurd is that I'm still in school.. ..I have no idea what I'm going to do in life. I was going to become a teacher, but I've just spent the past 6 years loathing them. It's that generation of teachers who honestly believe they are "cool and down with it". The ones that think their pupils are joking when they call them a dick.

But teachers are just cruel, I handed in an essay I got it back..

O marks
O marks
red pen here
play a game of hangman
2 marks
cross that paragraph out for no reason
0 marks

and then at the end of the essay she wrote one thing.. vague. That is in itself VAGUE. I have written 4 bloody pages. You One word I'm vague? No you're vague you hypocritical twat!.

Anyone still want to see the video?

( I want to see the video! I like stand up. )

I'll try and get it up as soon as I can, computer messing me over. Incidently what did you think of the script?

I like it! :) It made me laugh!

(Now that I know it's okay to post stand-up on here, I might post some... )

It's up just waiting for it to register on my account, might get some sleep soon, if it's not up by tonight it will be tommorrow.

( ...

Today's tomorrow! :) *waits for video* )
