It's hard to be funny.

I've got a small stand up gig tomorrow. Just a small five minute set amongst about 12 others. Just five minutes....

Do you have any idea how hard it is to be funny, by yourself, for 5 minutes? It's really hard man. The tendency is that once you get up on stage, you see the audience. They all have the expectation that you'll be funny, that you'll tell jokes. They're all sitting up there silently judging you- the first move you make is the most important.

How will I start this off? Which joke should I start with? Can I really commit now that I'm up here? What- when- who- how?

DANCE, MONKEY, DANCE!!

That's how I feel. Jesus, it's stressful.
