Comedy Album Thing

~~someonecompletelyrandom~~ · 06-06-2011, 04:40 PM

So basically, I want to record a stand-up album. But... I'm lazy. I don't really have strong ambition to be a stand-up comedian and don't feel like spending years playing clubs and bars and making myself a complete nervous wreck. I do like to have fun, however. And making music is boring the pants off of me lately.

So I figured I'd just record it, but then it'd probably sound stupid without any audience and I didn't want to be REALLY pathetic and add sitcom laughter in there.

So I wanted to have a sort of virtual audience I guess. Here's my idea. I record it. I give it to you, you record yourself listening to it and laughing. If you don't find it funny, you don't have to laugh, just laugh at what you genuinely find funny (you can even heckle if you want, I'll play around with it later). If I get enough people to record their reactions, I can play with it and BOOM, a real, dynamic audience.

This is all for fun, and I want to see how good I am at this. Anyone wanna participate?

Just get some of your friends to come over and be your audience while you tape it, that would be much easier.

Don't give me suggestions.

From this point forward everyone who gives me suggestions will be banned from the site.

This. You'd be better with a live audience because you get to vibe off of them, and see what material is working and needs to be used more, and what stuff doesnt and needs to be left as little as possible. And the heckling and your retorts will be better because they will be more 'in the moment'.

Edit: LOL Looks like I'll be banned now :/

I suggest you stick that suggestion about my suggestion up your arse. Just a suggestion.

Is your comedy act going to be anything like Michael Richards'?

I don't really have enough balls to be a real stand up comedian. I don't play music live because I don't think very fast and I'm much better at recording and crafting than being in the moment.

So I want to record it and just edit out the bits that don't really work.

Yes.

Not releated to your original post, but I just had an idea. We should do a MB Roast. Pick a member and dedicate a thread to roasting them. Maybe do a different member each month. That would be awesome.
