Here's an audio clip (maybe) of me doing Amateur Night stand-up at a local comedy club in October. It was my first time doing it after about a year and a half break. My roommate works there, so when I had to drop him at work I just decided to get up and do it again.
You can't hear or see it in the clip, but I tripped over a cord on the way up to the stage. Also, the emcee didn't go up there to introduce me, so I just took the liberty myself.
Flame away. And I didn't make this or put the campy music at the start. But it is me.

i felt a mixture of pain and admiration watching this
what is your history/future plan with stand up comedy?
did you enjoy the bob dylan show? i saw him a few months ago.
ps: i think you needed to explain what furries are: just because you are obsessed by them doesn't mean everyone else knows whjat the fuck you're talking about. but you would think there is comic potential galore in the furry thing. maybe you could do a confessions of a furry theme? make up embarrassing incidents and discuss them as if real.
and of course, obvious opportunities to exploit the GIRAFFE resemblance.
"man, at every furry party i go to, everyone always wants a piece of the giraffe. Last friday this hippo... etc etc

My history with it is just that I felt an urge to do it when Spooner started. Seemed like it could be fun. I got up and did it for about three months, but at the time the manager of the club was running the place like a dump and I didn't really have any time to try and be funny, so I quit doing it for a year or so. Then my roommate started working there because the new manager was a mutual friend of ours. As far as a future plan- there really isn't one. I just like doing it.
I did enjoy the Bob Dylan show at the beginning. Amos Lee opened, then Elvis Costello was on (he was far better than Dylan), and there was just tremendous energy following Costello's set. It transferred over to Dylan's first few songs, but once Dylan switched from guitar to keyboard and started doing slower songs that weren't really intelligible if you hadn't heard them before- the wind just came out of my sails. We started falling asleep and left at the encore. It was an enjoyable show, though- his set just wasn't mixed up enough. Should've alternated the songs with different tempo.
Good point on the furries. I'll stick to the poop jokes until there is more mainstream cultural awareness of them.

You should've seen Dylan at ACL in September...massive let-down. Guy was barely even intelligible. It was the biggest mass exodus of ACL goers I've ever witnessed/proud to have been apart of...
Also, get a better impression. The Jimmy Stewart one is sketchy, at best. If you were gonna use old Jimmy, you should have gone with something that was already hilarious by itself like "The LAAAAZZZYY EEYYEE!!"
Oh, and no zombies.

Good on ya. You can always work on jokes, but you seem likeable up there and that's pretty important.
Though of all references you could have made, using The History Channel as the pinnacle of boredom makes you sound a little bit like a dumbass, you know?

True. I love Ice Road Truckers. They only gave me three minutes, so I was just trying to make the most of it. They laughed at the Paris Hilton joke, so I figured the History Channel wasn't a far leap for them.

HBTS- The emcee mentioned the San Diego fires in her opening monologue. Would you like me to rip the DVD and put the whole thing up for your viewing pleasure?
As for some of the jokes falling flat- I wasn't claiming this is the funniest performance ever. I know I can do way better than a Paris Hilton joke- but I was also the second person up and the emcee was awful. I'll post December's video when it comes out- if you don't laugh you can punch me in the face.
===========
Fair enough, but I'm not fucking psychic.
I'll be honest when I tell you that I didn't smile once at this. Half a grin at the furry joke, but otherwise, nothing, not even a stir.
I'll listen to/watch the next one and hopefully not have to punch you in the face afterwards.
