A quick but perhaps unusual question...is anybody out there up against resistance from family members when pursuing their comedy aspirations? I figured there...
Ahhh...negativity...ain't it a bitch. I'm not sure what sort of situation your in, or what your goals are for comedy, but I'll give you mine and my input. I...
Jason: Thanks for sharing your situation. Sounds like mine might be similar. I've been married for almost 20 years, doing the housewife/mom thing and I have no...
Shelly, even though my husband is supportive of my stand up I do sympathize simply because you have a husband. :-) Sometimes my husband throws it in my face...
... Speaking of that, I was wondering if anyone knows if there is an average age when people get started with stand-up comedy? I always hear about people who...

I don't know the average age, but the manager at The Laff Stop said it was refreshing to see someone my age starting out. She told me that she's 48 and she's...
... I've been doing open mic at The Laff Stop on Mondays. I'm heading out to The Improv this Wednesday night to check out open mic there. Until my younger...
The Comedy Workshop Workbook by Sandi Shore of the Comedy Store was very helpful. Less wordy and more hands-on...made you think, write, etc. I'm still doing...
I've seen that workbook, but haven't bought it yet. The one I bought on the insistance of many is The Comedy Bible. Dotti Enderle Author & Storyteller ...
That's the first one I bought, and it was very helpful. They suggest a comedy buddy, so you might want to see if there's anyone nearby who wants to get...
Very touchy subject at my home. It was my dream as a kid to be a comic. I was too screwed up in my twenties to try it. I got married and had kids in my...
My daughters love that I do stand up. When my oldest daughter was home from college during the Christmas holidays she and some of her friends came out to the...
... That's when I'd have said, "No, that's why I need to practice. See you later." Seriously, I feel bad for you guys. I guess I'm a lot luckier than I...

Joe Great to see you getting back into things. You had some talented writing. Joe and I used to exchange ideas and then he left me high and dry, lol...I'll...
Joe, Keep following your dream. The way I try to look at it is a lot of people have a different sense of humor (or none at all). Sometimes my son says stuff...
At the risk of sounding trite: YOU GO GIRL! My daughter and her boyfriend came to a showcase where I'd written some sketch comedy and will be seeing some...
Jason: Would you mind passing along the information about your friend in Detroit? One of my best friends lives there as do my aunt and cousins. I'm planning a...
You have MySpace? Me too! I'm under Shelly Ryan. I'll check your page out, and please feel to read some of my blogs. My topics range from why I didn't want to...

Jason, I spend a lot of time watching stand up on videos and analyzing the performers. I've come to realize that stand up is not so much about jokes as it is...
