I did it a couple of times but it was horrible and I was shit. My thinking was that everyone had told me playing live (in a band) was terrifying and I would shit myself, being quite a shy fella I was surprised to find it was nothing of the sort. So when I got to thinking I might try a bit of comedy I brushed off the 'you will be terrified and 'it's the worst' type comments.

Anyway, I was wrong, it is the worst. I still roll onto the floor in a ball sucking my thumb and shaking at the memory.

Difference being that I assume you know how to play your guitar :) Would you get up on stage and busk playing an instrument you didn't know how to play?

Cheesy, what would seriously worry me about this idea is that you get quite aggressive and abusive if someone 'heckles' you on the boards. I reckon you'd end up glassing someone if they did it while you were performing. :eek:

you neednt 'seriously worry' about anything. digging for nowt there dude :cool:
 
I've thought about giving it a shot from time to time. There's a pub off tott court road with a tiny room upstairs that used to do it - would have been a fairly easy place to start. I'd never try it out in a big venue with stage etc - I've seen people dying onstage and you're always suprised not to hear of their suicide afterwards....

Madzone I think it's strange to judge whether cheesy would be good at it by what she posts on here. Since you've done some yourself you should know that performance can completely change how funny something is/isn't. Having said that - it's worth remembering that *most* people are shit at stand-up, so statistically speaking it's likely that she will be... :p

Fair enough but there are people all over urban who are naturally funny. I find them a constant source of hilarity and I'm in awe of them. If cheesy is funny in real life she does a fucking good job of hiding it here.
 
I dunno, this thread has made me laugh, I think you should do it Cheesy. And get it taped so we can judge for ourselves. :cool:

I'd pay, ooh, let me think...... up to £1 to watch madz be funny. :cool:

Keep yer money love, you can have it for free ;)

I wouldn't ask for a penny right now. I haven't been funny in ages. Even Ground Elder sends me PM's to complain about how unfunny I am lately :(

But I've met a few of urban's more amusing posters and discovered them to be not nearly so funny in real life. Imo written and performed humour are almost different artforms that require different skills/gifts.

Having said that, I think impressions are a rubbish form of humour, so I won't be holding out high hopes for cheesy's performances...:p

Why should I encourage you to do something I think you'll be shit at?

I'm not actively trying to discourage you anyway - I think you should try it. Who knows, you may be the next Little Miss Jocelyn.
