I was going over some old tapes and had the thought.
Thanks all.

How dare you ask a comedy question on week three of tragedy and flame wars.
People have more important issues to attend to in here at alt.comedy.standup.
Jesus, now go sit in the corner until you can come up with a question about
religion or war.
I have one bit that's a 2 year old news item I still use. It never made
national news so no one knows the shelf life of it when I talk about it, so I
always say it happened a couple of months ago.

Yeah, Saldana's entire act is outdated. All 45 minutes of it are stale and
boring.

I have a bit based on a news item from USA today. I didn't write it as a
news story, but used the topic of the story to make it a little more
general. I think it's got a pretty good shelf life, mostly because it's
fucking hillarious.

The only line he said he's going to scrap is one he has about how much
he loves New York. "I miss it so much every so often I put urine in my
humidifier, just to recapture the feeling."

I have this quick one-liner about Sun God Ra that I've been using as my
opener for years and just can't bear to retire.
Well, I guess that's the downside of doing political comedy.

I have this joke that is a very natural openner for me. I go "I live in New
York which is the only city where you actually have to say things like 'hey
that's mine don't pee on that'"
It always gets a laugh. I've been doing it for about 13 years. Every time I
do it, I want to die for every living second that I'm doing it. I fucking hate
the goddamn bit. I occasionally swear off of it and open with other things.
But when I get up there and the crowd looks not so easy, I bust the shit out,
make a mental note to beat my balls with a spatula later and the joy just
leaves my body. Thanks for asking.

Tommy, you are so full of shit.
Like Saldana has 45 minutes!

I have a minute and a half.

It could be entertaining to open with the spatula/ball beating. I
sometimes open by spanking myself with a melon baller - but I'm a prop
guy.

This is completley off topic and a waste of everyone else's time and mine own,
but I just realized I've never seen a pop comic who wasn't male.
Anyone know any female prop comics?
I guess the Amazing Jonathan's wife sorta counts... but not really..

Pardon mois for not meeting the stringent posting standards of ACS.

Judy Tenuta? I saw an old woman who used a butt plug and beads as
props - can't remember her name. Maybe there are some ladies in ACS
who use props?

Woah, Apology on my part for the misunderstanding todd!
I in no way meant YOUR post was as I said "This is completley off topic and a
waste of everyone else's time and mine own" and I sincerely apologize if you
took it that way.
I meant my post regarding female prop comics, which was off the original topic
of the post. I am VERY sorry for the misunderstanding.
I meant *I* was wasting time and space posting *my* message.

Sorry about the misunderstanding. My post was arguably off topic, and
I thought that was what you were referring to. (I was dying to
unleash my "brilliant" but off-topic melon-baller retort, and I didn't
want to start a new "spanking/melon baller" thread.)
Thanks for clearing that up Rye,
Todd
