[Felipe S]

Did you hear the one about the guy who wanted to be a stand up comic and posted about it in a home theater forum?



Good luck.

 

[MikeAlletto]

Is this some kind of joke or something?



HA

 

[Mark Sherman]

Nope No Joke.



A few years back I was at a taping of King Of Queens with a buddy of mine. I got to talking to the warm up comedian and he let me go up in front of the audience and do a little schtick. Well I guess I did OK since the whole place was laughing along with some of the cast members who were watching behind me. After I was done the warm up guys asked if I had ever done stand up before? After i told I Had never done this he said i should "LOOK INTO IT" . Well now I have.

 

[MikeAlletto]

Nope No Joke.

I'm just kidding with ya...thats pretty cool. Good luck.

 

[BrianW]

Mark, that's very cool. I will you every possible success.

 

[Richard Travale]

Very Cool, but in show biz, we say "Break a Leg!"
So, break a leg Mark.

Hey, you're not one of those "What's the deal with homework?" kind of guys are you?
I'm looking forward to the MP3 of the show that you will undoubtedly be posting.

 

[Ted Lee]

[Hunter P]

Would it be OK if I hijacked this thread and told you all that I'm pursuing my dream of becoming a tap dancing male stripper? (The finale is faaa-bulous!)

[Magnus T]

Good luck Mark. By the way, what kind of stand-up do you do?

 

[Mark Sherman]

The Kind Of Comedy I do is based on my Uncanny ability of impersonation. What I do is take a Character who we all Know and put them into a situation that is common to us but yet you can see that person doing it. I Just dont come out and do a scene with brando I put them into something else.


For example one bit that I am working on (this is not part of my skit as of yet) is what if Forrest Gump was the Voice of Movie Phone.

"Hello Thank you for calling, Calling Movie Phone"


"If you Know what movie you would like to see push enter the first 3 letters.

BEEP BEEP BOOP

"OH Thats a Good Movie, Momma said that was a good movie. Jennie also like that Movie. etc etc etc.


OBTW IM gonna be there on Aug. 11th
