i had a long post written out, and then this page got refreshed and it disappeared. Heres what ive been thinking about. There are a lot of different elements to being "funny" onstage. Im gonna call them humor, wit, and funniness. Maybe funniness could be changed to presentation. And i could subcategorize these all day. The point is that some people are just naturally funny. Funny looking, likable, funny physically, good timing, charimsatic. And the simple fact is, im not that funny. I have very little of those previous things going for me.
I am somewhat humorous. I can craft a joke pretty well. I have an instinct for when a subject is going to be funny somehow, and then i can go back and try to find whats funny about it. Honestly, im nothing special in this department. My strongest area has to be the wit. By wit i mean quick ability to react humorously and honestly to a situation. This is what i have going for me. Im inclined to test it out with crowd work, improv, and just throwing myself in dangerous comedic situations and seeing if i drown. I might not be ready for this yet, but its something im gonna start testing out soon. Ill try to work on getting funnier too.
