  Try going to a comedy club and find out for yourself... They usually have a beginners night once a week or so. Funny is not just what you type or what you talk about, it's the way you present it/yourself and portray your point to people.

  Davo Davo Davo.... You're hoping in vain my friend... if anyone at all found that funny, they may need serious mental help. It usually helps if you have your own material. And if you're going to steal material, make sure its good.. this effort was as funny as a fart at a funeral. Keep trying sunshine..maybe one day you will get the laugh you crave.

  Davo if you think you are funny then why not, others may not but really life has so many serious moments who cares. You will offend some and some you will not. just remember there may be some sicko (lol) bird out there who appreciates your humour! um as for some previous advice regarding doing a amateur comedy stand up.... well ... ummm... maybe if you worked on some better stuff you might get lucky and have nothing thrown at you. lol dave

  Hey all, HotOzCouple, GongMan4U and GazPatcho40 - Thanks for the good advice, but I was thinking about just in general, not in a stand up club as such, I know I might get rotten fruit thrown at me, when I'd rather just the women throw themselves at me. hehe, that might happen eh? :P BiSydney, Sorry but your way off base accusing me of stealing, if I say I made them up why would I lie, I'd look like a fool to lie like that. Care to back up your claim.... no? ... hah I didn't think so, Also you contradict yourself. You say "my friend" then insult me. Call me a thief, then admit I should keep trying. And calling me Sunshine, well your slightly mistaken, I’m just a very "Bright Spark" Looks like you put 'king' in your name in an attempt to sound authorative when in fact there is nothing Regal about you, judging by your demeanour. So jump on your bike and flip ya own name around and start BiKing. haha get it... someone explain it to him please... Also, you say anyone who thinks my humour is funny, to seek mental help. A few friends find them funny, and I find them funny too, so you reckon we should see a Psychiatrist. I have a photo of one on my wall and I see it every day, so technically I see a Psychiatrist every day.... does that count? I hope so.... Thanks for your comments, any more advice for me?

  Davo I sniggered at a few of the lines and its a lot more cheerful than cheap swipes which I read a few of here. Perhaps you should ask the opposition to post a few of their own so all can pass comment. Cheers

  Hey man, I find comedy is all in the presentation. You can present it well in email format just as in a real performance, you just have to control your delivery. You want to save the "punch line" for last and word it to have maximum "punch." I've regularly performed stand-up comedy for over 7 years now, and it really is something that comes with practice. For instance, if we take your first joke and presented it differently: "I told my girlfriend I wanted to join a swingers club, and she bought me a tennis racket." or the second one: "My ex was so cheap, every time I'd ask her to pay attention, she'd ask for a receipt." "I practice safe sex, and my parents always taught me there is safety in numbers." "I'd offer you moral support, but I have no morals." "I thought I had a split personality, turns out I'm just a half-wit." Etc... Also, one or two jokes per email is enough. Many more and you risk coming across as trying too hard. Even when performing comedy for a paying audience, you have to "trick" the audience into thinking you aren't telling jokes, but that they just happen. Telling too many jokes in a row makes even the best comedian seem like an amateur. Good luck and keep up the nice work!

  Davo, Seriously, these inane observations have been flying around for years. Are you seriously saying you have made them all up? The Virgin credit card one came out as soon as the card was being advertised for the first time. Look up insults on the net and you will see number 2, 4 & 5 listed in either the exact words or very close to it. I will admit I haven't heard the first one.. maybe because nobody would want to take credit for such a lame joke..lol. Number 3 has been a standing joke for years.. I can't think of how long ago I heard that one for the first time. Same with number 6. Number 8 is a play on words.. has also been around for years.. besides.. what people nowadays refer to pyjamas as "bedclothes"? Number 7... see number 1. Finally number 9.. this joke was flying around in high school in one form or another. You asked me to back up my comments so there you go. Bright spark indeed... If brains were dynamite you couldn't blow a booger out of your nose... Yes, I have stolen that joke too. I'm not trying to be nasty... I posted the first comment in good humour. IF you're thinking seriously about being a comic, don't take offense at jibes or criticism. Keep trying....lol
