I remember once when I did stand up comedy, someone told me I would be much funnier if I were uglier. He told me, "You should get in a car crash or something. You know, smash you face up or something." Sage advice from some tubby, drunken loser of a standup. I wonder where he is now? Which bar is he slumped over? Years later, I did a series of sketch comedy shows at ACME theatre in LA. Those were the golden years. My favorite and best received show was called "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Sunday Show" with TV's Wil Wheaton.
Looking back on Wil's blog and the linked blogs to Shane Nickerson and Annie Sertich, it's inspired me to write like I used to: for the funny. Sure introspection is fun, but comedy is MORE fun. If I can just remember how to write it.....and photograph it. Pictures = funny!
