Do I have a Future as a Stand-up Comedian? You be the Judge


Here is a link to my latest foray into the entertainment world. Based on the wealth of positive feedback I've recieved from my work on the Blob I've decided to try my hand at stand-up comedy. My act is a work in progress.... at press time little more than a series of indiscriminate noises, facial gestures, and onomatopoeiae but to my small but attentive audience ( young Kevin Mittleman) it seemed to do the trick. I was encouraged by the response but will be working hard over the next little while to flesh out the act. http://ca.video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=164300

Blob -

I swear, you're the next Bob Saget, with the funny
videos. What do you have coming up after the break, a cat jumping in the toilet bowl?

I've seen that one before - just makes you happy no matter what, doesn't it?

Thunderstorm out there and I'm meant to be out on a boat today celebrating a friend's boyfriend's 50th birthday. Should I jam?

BTW, hurricane season supposedly starts in June but it might be early this year since we have had our first tropical depression named. Doesn't bode well - a hurricane has not struck this island for the last 26 or so years - we're due.

...I need to sort out a shelter and stock up on sardines and canned yams...

Great to have you back Tterbfan!! I missed your constructive criticisms and witticisms. The laughing baby video was not me turning into Bob Saget, don't you worry!! I'm not turning the Blob into America's Funniest Home Videos. I suppose I could ask for humorous and wholesome anecdotes from my readers and post those....wait a second...you sent me just that very thing not too long ago. Allow me to share it with everyone else:

"Life still a mess here - am sleeping at the house [I was at a bed &
breakfast
for a while], but working out of a studio in the home of a neighboring
graphic designer.

Said graphic designer [Nancy] has a hideous, obese [yet endearing]
bulldog she calls Deisel.
Nancy left for Mexico for a week's vacation a couple days ago, and
warned me that Deisel has
a prolapsed urethra. [wait for it] I came to work this morning, and
there was a note on my
door from the guy taking care of Deisel that read:

Barry,

The dog is not doing well and is bleeding from his penis. If you go
upstairs
try not to excite him - it may cause the bleeding to resume.

[obviously that note is a keeper] I tiptoed upstairs and found poor
Deisel sitting on the couch
with a bewildered look on his face, blood issuing, geyser-like, from
his dick. Blood all over
himself and the room. I made a few telephone calls. I expect the Feds
will be involved."

Sounds like a prize winning entry to me!!

Thanks PG...sounds like your due for the big one. Amazing coincidence....besides bottled water my storm cellar is stocked with only yams and sardines too!! Is that freaky or what????

Beyond freaky.

I'll explain. There's this guy called Freaky who does a radio show here - I do, among other things aside from teaching, the advertising and marketing for our hotel school - anyway when I first spoke to him and he told me his name, I responded to him that I'd marry a guy named that. Imagine? Freaky??? He said he'd had numerous offers...Needless o say, I worked out a great deal with him, and noooo, I don't have to get married.
