So I have a lot of time on my hands.
I'm also one of those guys who thinks stand-up comedy is completely do-able by most people, myself included. I realize it's a bit pretentious, and that it's probably a lot harder than it looks, but I can't help how I feel when I watch most stand-up acts. I always feel like a week or two worth of planning and I'd have a similarly sweet act.
There's a Dino Comic that sums this up rather perfectly, but I couldn't find it when I searched.
Anyway. Open mic night, here I come.
awesome
