How hard could it be? Right?
I mean, my Home Teacher does it (and we went and saw him live, too).
I've Googled how to do stand up. So I'm sure I know all I need to know, now.
I've got to have a few entertaining stories here on my over-a-thousand-posts blog. And some of you commenters: holy freaking funny cow. I know stealing is bad ... but it's my blog. Also, you don't mind if I "borrow" stuff from your blogs, do ya? If I can't think of my own jokes? I'll ask first, of course. Well, I won't really. But ... this is business. Don't take it personally.
Spastic, nerdy, stay-at-home, frisky, Mormon mom ... that could be funny, right?
Greg didn't go for the "Pajama Party" business (like Pampered Chef, but for sex toys); the Scrabble Escort Service business plan ("Strictly Scrabble, Sir" was going to be my motto); and I don't want a real job (I love my days filled with bon bons and soap operas - SO fulfilling).
What's the worst that could happen? People don't laugh at me? I've got the whole winter before I can try out for the play I wanna be in. I am highly motivated to get paid for doing something on stage (something that doesn't later need to be discussed with a Bishop or Disciplinary Council). Who know's ... this could be my big chance, my ticket to see the world.
You think I'm funny, right? (please, don't dash my dream-of-the-day)

Wow. You're not completely terrified at the the thought of stand-up? Then go for it.
For real. Totally funny. I would come and watch you do stand-up. Good to know my husband isn't the only one who nixed hosting those special 'slumber parties' :)
I'd pay money to watch you.
You'd probably be good at standup, based on the material I've seen on your blog.
However, most of the really good stand-up comedians are disturbed. That is how they get their unique take on things that distinguishes them from the pack.
Look online for video and audio of the late Sam Kinison if you are unfamiliar with his work - but keep in mind that like most comics who do not specifically bill themselves as "clean", he gets very foul sometimes. His appearances on Letterman are safe enough. He grew up the son of a preacher and was a preacher himself for a while. But then he went rogue, and some of his routines include some rather dicey takes on Jesus and marriage.
