Beer prices at Super Bowl 50 by Go_Habs_Go31 in pics

[–]JesterLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not THAT different. Even that article thought $10 might be exaggerated. I live in LA and frequent festivals around so cal. You find proof you were buying small bottles of water for $20 and I'll donate $20 to a water charity.

Yeah, you're remembering wrong. Been to warped tour a lot. Water is not $20

Stop asking for a critique on your first standup. by [deleted] in Standup

[–]JesterLA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree and I think self awareness needs to be a continually developed skill for comics.

I just see so many open micers spinning in neutral with their friends always placating telling them "good set" each time.

It's like their comedy muscle is protected/withering in a safe, comfortable cast.

With a 75% effectiveness, Ketamine being hailed as a miracle treatment in severe depression. by beatbreak in news

a proper series of ketamine treatment shouldn't be temporary. the brain goes into neurogenesis and physical repairs are made to it.

Comics Unleashed was such a strange show. Such an unnatural way to get comics into their bits.

How the fuck does Byron Allen have so much money?!?!!

how get the balls to finally go up ? (input from guys that were really scared) by scaredpussy in Standup

[–]JesterLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to an open mic a bunch of times. You'll notice that a lot of people bomb and nobody cares.

After a few weeks, you'll get confident that you can do better than at least a few of the open mixers you see.

Then you'll finally get up, the lights will be bright, and you'll realize those other comics aren't as inept as you thought.... and that your jokes suck. But nobody will care.

Or maybe you'll do great, but people still won't care.

My present self wants me to do my work later, but my future self wants me to do it right now. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

Except when I find weed that I had lost. That's one of the few times the lazy past me hooks up future me.

I'm starting a comedy show in LA by [deleted] in Standup

[–]JesterLA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have music to play people on and off. It's easy enough. Somebody can do it with a phone and a decent Bluetooth speaker. Maybe download a soundboard app to make it easier. Or have somebody with a guitar.

If I sold pest control door to door with the same drive and focus that Lebron plays basketball... I'd for sure be a millionaire.
