    Does he want honesty or just pats on the back?

    You can be honest without being a douche.

    He'll have to deal with plenty of douchebags like moes if he's going to be doing standup. Might as well get used to it.

    As a comedian, he should know criticism can follow in various forms. This isn't 3rd grade show and tell. Yeah the comments could all be G rated and PC, but I'm thinking he should anticipate a tough crowd every now and then with each performance.

    You'd be up there if the crowd could grant rep points.

    Also, "dull-minded idiots" is a perfect Fattyism.

    If I ever got up there, the crowd would invent a way to give me rep points.

    If you were there for 12 years, performed every night, hooked up with another one of the waitresses for a while and updated your act from Christian knock-knock jokes to ebonics impressions and halfway insightful social commentary, sure.

    Funny can't be defined. It's invented.

    Chris Rock's routine about black people was funny because the material worked for him. Was his material really clever? No, but it sounded clever because of the way he delivered it. Find what works for you, and use it to your advantage. Race doesn't have to be part of your routine.

    Moes, I know you were the "Jugdish likes ladyboys" tagger because you presumed I called you fat via tag, but it wasn't me. I did laugh at both.

    I didn't know who it was, but I did laugh after somebody repped me with this comment

    09-17-2011 08:52 PM says the overweight, socially awk underachiever who spends his time pumping an internet persona... get a life, lol


    Just not true, I'm no longer socially awk.

    I suppose you also have to be an actor, director, and sound editor to critique a film?

    I'm probably the only person in this thread actually giving this guy anything constructive while the rest of you slap him on the back and give meaningless words of encouragement or backhanded compliments like "wow it takes gusts to get on the stage".
