I could do that.......no, you can't.

Front end work. Watching Mary, Rhonda and Charlie pitch yesterday, was a real pleasure. True stand-ups have spent years learning how to make the near impossible look easy. every now and again at a party some one will front up saying how they've looked at stand-up, they are funny, and it looks easy. Here's what I said, to one of these fools. "Stand up win everyone around you in10 seconds. Keep them focused for 20 minutes. Have them laughing or giigling every 10 seconds of the 20 minutes. Have a through line, and end wrapping everything together. Do it right now." He said."Oh...." We spend a lot of time making this shit look easy.
