So, sometimes I'll make someone laugh. Genuinely laugh whether I'm trying to or not. The inevitable comment will occur, "You should be a comiedian."
I'm sure everyone has heard this before. But the truth is I remember wanting to do comedy when I was fourteen. This was back when Seinfeld was still on the air and making me bust a gut.
Jeff Foxworthy was another big one.
When I make someone laugh, either in the check out or just in casual conversation, I am genuinely not trying to make them laugh. I'm just making a random observation or sharing a thought that they happen to think is funny. Then I wonder if I could do the same thing before an audience.
I guess the question is directed towards anyone on the board who has done stand up, or who has the knack for making people laugh and has had this suggested to them. Is it just a polite remark when more than one person says this to me, or should I give it a go? What, if any, experiences have you had on stage doing comedy?
