inspirational speeches

Last night Ricky Guitierrez was at the writing work shop. Ricky's a really good writer and has a lot of tools and tricks to help pull large amounts of material from a subject to really get a basis for a joke. We did this one rapid fire "round table" exercise, and I didn't feel like I was contributing very much. The point was to say what came to your mind first, but all of my input was bland and kind of logical.

I tried to workshop the Disney stuff that I came up with a couple months ago, but the suggestions didn't really take me where I see the joke going. It's such an odd thing talking about something that happened so long ago...

At Lloyd and Harry's I emceed, and had a decent set. I wanted to work on the Blackname, Radiation and Seminary jokes again, but forgot the Radiation one and ended up doing some other random stuff including one request for my Tetris joke.

I'm on at the Bone tonight, at the Forum both tomorrow and Thursday (for the competition) and featuring in Mason City this weekend. I don't think I will have been on stage this much in one week ever. Rock on.

Check out my MySpace blog for jokes on which I'm working.
