I myself made comedian

I am a self-made comedian

So if you don't like any of these jokes

Totally my fault

I don't even know if I can do better

I feel like the mark of a true comedian

Is if one of your jokes can cause somebody to fight on the way home

Because that's memorable

And that's really important because I'm white

And just a guy

So you are definitely going to forget all of this

A lot of comics will make jokes really good jokes about things they've seen around

And they're good jokes and I realized I could write one too. Because there's a formula "I saw a guy doing this and I thought that"

And I tried writing one today And realized I woke up at noon and didn't go outside until 5

I didn't see anything today

This is the first thing I'm seeing

A comic friend told me that a white comedian sitting on the stool is racist

(Take the opportunity to sit)

I had to ask around to see if that was real

Like if that's how you identified a racist

"People have gotten too good at scrubbing their twitter! If the racists are getting smarter so must we"

So I asked around and most people responded with "Why? Are you racist?"

And my only response to that is

"No"

But I did find out that some comics think you gotta put the time in on stage

You gotta be a seasoned comedian to use the stool

Some feedback I've gotten on my standup is that I sway

And that's bad.

Because it gives the audience the impression that I'm nervous

And that I'm not moving with purpose or intention

So I just want to clarify

This isn't unintentional swaying, it is intentional and there is a purpose: I'm dodging air

I'm dodging all the bad air in the room.

If you're wondering whether or not this small* sway is enough? It is. This room has pretty good air

It's better than the air out there in the city

In here I share to share air with you

Outside, I have to share the air with construction, the subway, construction workers, subway workers

I feel like I don't know how to hold a mic

I know how to hold a baby

That's totally different

Holding a baby is like holding a burrito that is packed waaaay too tightly

Holding a mic is like holding: - a dick - I can't late this thing get too close to my face - A microphone. Nobody should let me hold this thing. You shouldn't let me hold a baby either, because truth be told, the last burrito I had, I dropped it— and I still ate it. I was raised with the 5 second rule. - A bop it- there are so many different ways to hold this thing - A shovel, I'm going to use this thing to dig my own grave - A circumcised penis— I prefer them uncircumcised

Stage scenario

If the room is quiet

Pause and then say

"You hear that"

That's an awkward silence

It's quiet

In

New York

You're welcome

I try to write a joke every day before I get out of bed

And I take a while to get out of bed so

I can usually write at least one

—> I try to write a joke every day, but I end up writing one every few hours. —> I end up speaking at least one joke a day —> I read a lot of jokes every day

I'm not afraid of being canceled, but I am afraid of not being renewed

Like collectively everyone, the whole world is just gonna be like "yeah you know we've had enough"

because we all know that when we hear that Netflix hasn't renewed our favorite show, it's over
maybe I'd get picked up by another network
I think what hurts more than the lack of attention is actually just finding out that I wasn't interesting enough for people to keep tuning in
jersey shore went on for like 20 seasons and those people were terrible
cancel culture is popular because of the alliteration. And still it kind of petered out. We should start, not-being-renewed culture.
instead of canceling people on the Epstein list, let's just not renew them

I think bombing so personally I mean, I take everything personally I hate when somebody literally just looks in another direction personally somebody looks at me and they look away.

I'm picking me up what's wrong with me? I don't wanna look at me for another second at least.

I've been promoting this bar show

Just out of the street telling people

And the excuses that I got a really funny

The people respond I'm good

Some guys like I have a kid

Like I've got a gun to his head "You coming to this shitty bar show?"

I heard these other comic talking about jerking off

And it was horrifying I was like is that what I sound like?

I produce comedy shows

And it's so tough

I never know exactly how many people are going to show up

And I wonder if orgies are the same

You don't know who's going to show up

Can I try a new joke?

Would you guys be okay if I said something new? That's actually an old joke. The old joke was about a new joke

I think it's weird that when making a decision people will say "I don't want to overthink it…" - neither do I. I don't want to overthink anything

"I don't want to overthink it… but I've been thinking about this joke" —> And what if I under think it, and everyone thinks I'm an idiot. I'm not stupid, but sometimes I say stupid things

Whenever a pretty woman, whatever a woman just laughed in a joke

Whenever she laughs at my joke, I think I'm doing estimate

Because like they're two possibilities one she was laughing because I'm funny

And she was laughing because I'm cute because I'm good looking because I essentially said more than the bare minimum of like what she would expect to come out of the mouth somebody that she thinks is attractive

I don't get the girl like I'm not good looking enough for it's not to match

Maybe you get the girl

But I was gonna make her laugh

And that is to piss off

I like going to art galleries because I get to act like I have money:

I especially like going to smaller independent art shows

"How much does this cost"

"Oh I would totally buy this but I don't have the space" - and I don't have the space because I live out of my backpack - But they don't know that

art gallery, peanut gallery… either way no one asked for all of that

Had a dream I got belligerently drunk on stage and took my pants off and cursed out the producer and lost all my friends

Why was waking up still so hard? What the fuck?

my brain like "yo go back in there and fix that shit. Do the hard thing and repair relationships you've damaged"
