 |
|
I was at the GEPIK orientation last week - so I had to make a presentation on behalf of our group and decided to make up a little stand up comedy routine the night before the presentation.
I have never ever done a stand up routine in my life - and being British - I thought what I had to say would go over the head of the mostly American, Canadian, South African and Aussie audience.
Basically - my stand up routine went down really well - I couldn't believe the reaction to be honest because I was pretty nervous speaking in front of nearly 300 people (who were all very nice by the way and enjoyed meeting many of them)
Anyway - a fair few people came up to me after and said I should try and become a stand up comedian and one of the FT reps (hello Carl!) said there was an open mike competition at a comedy club in Seoul for any wannabe comedians - He told me the name but I now forget - does anyone know the name of this club?
It will be sometime in the future - I need to write some decent material!  |

Good comedians make people laugh. Bad comedians blame the audience. |

Not too sure about the competitions.
There are open stages around town. You can get up and do stand-up.
Check out threads on open mikes. Good luck to ya! |

A doctor says to his patient, "I have bad news and worse news".
"Oh dear, what's the bad news?" asks the patient.
The doctor replies: "You only have 24 hours to live."
"That's terrible," said the patient. "How can the news possibly be worse?".
The doctor replies: "I've been trying to contact you since yesterday." |

| Have you considered sketch/improvisational comedy? It's like stand up only less pressure on one person because you have a team of people backing you up. If you're interested, contact [email protected]. We hold weekly rehearsals and are happy to teach new people about the format. We need writers for short comedy sketches AND actors for sketches and short form improv comedy. Sounds like you would fit in nicely. |

Yeah, I mean, basically the rest of the English speaking world is pretty fucking dense. As an American, when I look for comedy I can only handle slapstick. If words are being used, I can't keep up.
PS - You forgot the Kiwis. |
