BOARD QUESTION: Can I Say That I Was a Stand-Up Comedian?

 

About ten years ago, I decided to do an open mic at a comedy club in Myrtle Beach. I had about 20 minutes of “A” material and wanted to see how an audience of humans responded to it. Turns out, I was more nervous about this than at any time I spent arguing in court. I drank a couple of beers and had a Dad-at-your-kid’s-birthday-party-at-your-ex-wife’s-house buzz going.

When it was my turn, I went with my duck call joke, and the crowd roared. I did bits about GPS, zombies, the Golden Age of Hollywood monsters, why my doctor pissed me off and some other things. I made fun of North Carolina. I was killing it.

After ten minutes, though, I drew a blank.

Instead of signing off with something like, “I hate you all” or “I have an urgent desire to be alone,” I told a joke about ****jobs on porn sites. Well, the manager had told all of us beforehand that we couldn’t go blue. From the stage, I noticed that same guy running up at me like Peter Griffin at a concert. I hurried up with the punchline before he snatched the microphone away.

 

 

 

So, my first question is this: Can I say that I was a stand-up comedian without further explanation? My second question is whether I can put the following on a resume:

 

JOB: Stand-up Comedian

DATES:  January 17, 2013 at 9:43 pm (Eastern) to January 17, 2013 at 9:53 pm (Eastern)

EMPLOYER:  The Comedy Cabana, 9588 N Kings Hwy, Myrtle Beach, SC

PERSON TO CONTACT:  I would rather that you not contact them.

REASON FOR LEAVING:  I told a dirty joke.

As a stand-up comedian, my rule for impressions is this: They have to be spot on. Unmistakable. The one exception to that rule is if you are simultaneously telling a killer joke. Then, you can get by with just a good impression.

What's the deal with the Ferarris?

You get on screen in a movie or tv show for 10 minutes, and you're an actor. Moreover, you will always be an actor, as your name is put in the IMDB. Did you know that Kim Basinger won an Oscar for her 15 minutes of screen time in L.A. Confidential?

It's true. 

In 1991, Anthony Hopkins spent a total of 16 minutes on screen in his role as Hannibal Lecter in the movie Silence of the Lambs. He didn't tell a single joke. Yet, he came away with a Best Actor Academy Award. So, you know.

Nash looked like he was gaining some confidence in the Purdue dual. Taking some shots. Hopefully he'll be up to par come ncass

He’s gotta win the spot first, then navigate through the conference to hit a qualifying spot.

Beating the Purdue heavy, who is 3-15 this year, isn’t exactly a litmus test for the NCAA tournament.

I checked on Copass and couldn't find him on the roster per wrestlestat. Not sure if he is injured or what, but Ruhlman has wrestled all the duals this season.

I just assumed redshirt given his high school pedigree and being an NQ last year. Makes sense though

Yeah, he redshirted in 22, went 8-11 in 23, and is listed at 0-0 this year.

@FanOfPurdueWrestling any insight on the Copass situation?

I don't know his wrestling status but a quick creep on his instagram confirms he is the first Purdue undergrad in at least two decades to make contact with a girl
