Im back! And Im going to comedy school

[Maximus One]

Well guys Im back and outta jail. It sucked but it was only 13 days. Ive done 4 months before and that is a freaking beast! Lol but Im glad to say Im done with all the stupid stuff and will not be going back.

As for this, I have recently found a comedy school in Louisville KY (bout a 2 hour drive from where Im at) called the Caravan Comedy School. They have beginners and advanced classes for Stand Up and for Improvisation/Sketch comedy. Ive been wanting to try my hand at comedy for a while and some of the material Ive got wrote everyone has told me is really funny plus when I was in jail people kept telling me I needed my own show n stuff cuz Im just a naturally funny guy. Its really kool though the classes are once a week 3 hours for like 5 or 6 weeks and they only cost $100. They pretty much teach you about joke structure and timing and how to control the crowd and all that good stuff. But at the end of the classes you get to perform your own 5 minute set at the Comedy Caravan in Louisville and you get a free dvd of your performance.

Im so excited about this and even if I dont break into the comedy world successfully it will still be a great learning experience but I do plan on pursuing a career.

I say go for it. You'll probably bomb a few times like most comedians do starting out . If you don't give up and learn from it then I think you'll have a chance at being sucessful.

Yea I know most comedians do at first. But I dont plan on giving up And if I end up being good then Ima start tryna hit up comedy clubs n stuff around here like in Indianna and in Tennesee and Illinois. Basically anyplace thats within a few hours of where I live. Like I said though I gotta lotta material wrote out allready I just gotta get my timing and delivery and all that down plus I need to learn the actual joke structure n stuff. I plan on taking basically every class they offer

Wow. I've never heard of comedy school. But good luck!

I'm not sure I've heard of comedy schools but i remember seeing a thing about the groundlings and some good comedians started out there.

 

[Maximus One]

Yea me neither lol then a friend of mine from Louisville told me about it and I was like "I am there!" lol And thanx for the encouragement guys. I think I have it in me Ive always been a natural performer and entertainer. I used to rap when I was younger done shows with some pretty big names in the underground rap community but I got outta it cuz I just stopped feeling it and it was going no where. So I can handle stage fright and performance anxiety its just that comedy is a whole different beast than music. When your a comedian you might as well be a politician cuz that audience is hanging on to your every word, Im serious about it though and I really wanna give it a shot cuz I know if I dont then Ima spend the rest of my life hating myself for not trying. But like I said everyone I know says Im hilarious and that I have good material. Even my therapist told me he could see me being one and I even told him some of my material and he thought it was hysterical

I have heard of Comedy schools. Good luck with that though.

I haven't really ever heard of any of the great comedians coming out of comedy school and hitting big. I just figured...well, you're either funny or you're not.

Go for it, just be careful. Late nights in bars can lead to issues that you've worked hard in the past to overcome (unless I've confused my posters) and you don't want to relapse. That and stay away from jokes about airline food and maybe you can be the next Richard Jenni, I miss that guy....

Clown College

The groundlings?

That's not a comedy school. It's an improv group.

Tell us a joke.

 

[Maximus One]

LOL VampElvis Ive gotten off of pain pills. I still drink occasionally and I smoke. Ive had to start taking xanax lately cuz I have serious anxiety issues but I am in no way abusing them. I used to be prescribed them but Im not anymore but ya gotta do what ya gotta do cuz my anxiety drives me absolutely crazy sometimes. But I still never get so messed up that I lose all my faculties. Mainthings maintain bro and drugs will never rule my life like they once did. I still have fun though but as long as it doesnt effect my behavior or mood negatively then I am straight

 

[Maximus One]

Well I called the comedy club today and everything is a go! They said they still have spots open n everything! Im do freakin psyched about this stuff!

 

[Tsunulia]

You do realize that now you'll have to give us detailed reports as to what comedy school is like

TELL US A JOKE, JOKE-MAN

 

[Maximus One]

k heres a short one I wrote.

Being a fat man you tend to realize certain things about your body. And Ive realized that cellulite tends to distribute itself relatively evenly all over your body I mean some parts are bigger than other but its all proportionate. The only thing Im wandering though is if it distributes so damn evenly then why the **** is my dick not as big around as my forearm with stretch marks all over like the rest of me! But no I have to put up with what you call a fupa (fat upper pubic area) so i hafta deal with it coming out like a dogs little red rocket when I get happy.

I dunno I just kinda adlibbed that last part about the fupa lmao

I got more alot of it is physical though. heres another one

I have recently come to the realization that there are 2 realizations about life in general that are both very traumatic. The first one is ones own mortality. That is some earthshattering **** man like you know it for a while that your gonna die one day but theres also that time when it truly hits you like "Holy **** one day I wont be here" And the second most traumatic realization is the fact that girls poop too. Uggh :shivers in horror and disgust: I seriously cannot stand the thought of a girl pinching a big fat one off : pantomine squatting and going number 2: beading up sweat n ****. All I do is pretend that freakin Go-Gurt comes out that orifice

Those are just a couple. I gotta another about me and a friend going to the driving range messin around and I realize that I can hit golf balls farther one handed than with to and I realize it because I cant get my damn elbows in far enough cuz my big belly. Then I do this lil physical thing where I feel like I got raise my arms like above my man boobs and swing like that. Its actually really damn funny but you hafta see it to get the full effect ya feel me?

 

[Maximus One]

Hahahahaha thanx man. I just recently got into curb im on season 4 ep 3 right now show is hilarious!

But thats not exactly how I would say the joke verbatim. I need to work on my joke structure more and get my timing and comedic delivery down.

I think Im gonna go by one name as well. My last name is Puckett and I have a big graffitti tat of it on my arm and everyone I ever meet calls me Puckett so Im thinking I might just leave the Michael out and go with just Puckett. Think that might be a good idea?

Could lead into some racial humour.
