1. Wow, I just did this after 28 years...
couple of weeks ago. Not bad, did about five minutes of new material. Might give it a go again....

good for you. Hope you do well and knock them dead.

10. Thanks!
I got about 2-3 minutes under the lamps. There were some laughs, which is always good.

The main thing is I was able to go through the whole routine without looking at any notes. Some comics bring their notes on stage, which I find a little distracting, but I also realize that everyone's trying to nail it down in their own way.

3. What's up with Panda Express?
"fast Panda" WTF is that? Everyone knows it takes at least 8 hours to cook a panda!

Best joke from the worst stand up comic I ever saw. I stole it and did in front of him and he loved it when I did my spot..

9. I don't get the joke.
Unless the "comedy club" is really a strip joint. THEN it would be funny.
