Goddamit I'm a thread-killer

Not a frequent contributor here, but I hope you don't mind if I add to the discussion:

I'm coming up on two years in, and I basically started making my first real impression on my scene last...

Practice makes perfect in memorizing and delivering your jokes, as others have said, but I do find that it helps to examine how you write, take notes, and organize the stuff you've written. I'm a bit...

I agree that the answer is just to say thanks but refuse a joke from someone else. I also try to direct them to facebook/twitter/etc. and let them know they can own their own jokes without being a...

Doing a 'Yo Mama' battle tomorrow, so I came up with this:

Yo' mama has had more homeless guys inside her than the Superdome after Katrina

Hey guys,

If people are still contributing to/viewing this thread, I figured I'd throw in. This is my set from a couple weeks back, at Yuk Yuk's in Toronto:...

Yeah, I guess that's why I threw mine in the Terrible Jokes thread - because that's ultimately what it is.

But enough about that joke, this thread is bigger than that. Here's another silly joke...

I guess I should clarify, even the open mics at the local comedy clubs are booked in advance, and they're more like pro-am shows. There is only one truly open mic I ever attend, and most of the shows...

If I recall, they book every month. I can't remember the exact date, but I'm sure the info is readily available if you were to contact the club and ask. But I am pretty sure it's once a month.

I just find an intro referring to the next as funny is a bit redundant, because he/she is supposed to be funny, as is everyone else up there. My question was really just in how to answer the question...

Thanks for the tip. Yeah, I think that's pretty much the way to go - plays all over Montreal, and has ridden on the back of a black bear.

It's usually only an issue when the host is someone who...

Hi everyone,

I've been a lurker here for a while before joining, and really love the site. Great comics offering great advice, and I've read as much as I can.

I've been doing comedy about a...

Hey, I'm in Montreal, so I don't know Ottawa more than the two you mentioned, but I will say that you'll have a LOT of fun at Absolute. The Wednesday night open mic is always packed (they paper the...
