Okay.
I want to do stand up. Not to sound like a total douche, but I get asked a lot by a lot of people "where can I see your stand up routine?!" or "when do you perform your comedy?!" or "do you do stand up?"
...so...I recently decided I wanted to try it out for size. I always told people that I am pretty sure I could never do stand up, because I am admittedly witty and funny...but normally only when someone around me is speaking to me and says something to which I can make a witty remark.
I want to play my songs, but I feel like that won't be enough to just go "Okay! Here are some songs I wrote while living alone."
I feel like I'll actually have to have anecdotes and stories and punch lines that I just can't do. I feel like I haven't had enough experiences that are weird or funny that I can tell people...and if I have, I ramble so damn much that I can't condense it. Maybe I'm not "stand up" kind of funny.
This is exactly how I feel about critiques in my photo and art classes.
"I'm not artsy enough"
Now it's
"I'm not funny enough." or "I can't come up with enough engaging material."
Very frustrating business.
