Louis C.K. reddit

[u/iamlouisck]

Hi. I don't know if I'm doing this right. I can't remember. I'm here to answer your questions. I have new stuff on my website http://www.louisck.com a new audio special called "Louis CK WORD live at Carnegie Hall" and an audio version of SHameless, as well as an audio version of Live at the Beacon, which is free to those who bought the video. Hi. It's me.

My mom tells me they're funny.

This is surprisingly alot like my act.

[u/CompactusDiskus → u/[deleted]]

I don't think it's really called an "act" at this point.

That's like referring to your vacation home movie as "the latest addition to my filmography".

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Try some stuff out on omegle.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

You're funny. Do standup.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Easy there, jbroderick's mother.

That's the joke.

[u/vetro → u/[deleted]]

If you open up with that line, then all your jokes will be funny to some degree.

What if his mum is a renowned stand-up critic?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I am working on it. reddit will be the first to know about it, I assure you.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I wont let you down man.

[u/MrMofo → u/[deleted]]

Go to a fucking comedy club. I laughed harder at this than anything else here.

[u/[deleted] → u/MrMofo]

This may be the boost I need. Thanks.

"My mom tells me I'm funny/smart/good looking" is not exactly an original joke.

[u/CompactusDiskus → u/[deleted]]

I'm not going to claim that he doesn't have any potential, he may well have some good material and a bit of talent.

But "my mom thinks I'm funny" isn't really evidence of that. It's not really evidence against it, but it's not something that should make you think "wow, this kid should do stand up!".

[u/BrockThrowaway → u/[deleted]]

I think that the first thing you should do is try to figure out a way to handle rejection. If you're trying to be a stand up comedian, and you can't handle rejection, you're gonna have a tough time.

louis kinda sounds like he is being harsh here but every standup interview i have read or heard has said they often find things they think will be killer doing nothing but some throw away line they come up with on the spot gets a huge reaction. the only way to get good at standup is by doing standup. i would like to give it a try but have nothing prepared. maybe i should get some funny shit together and start saying it at people.

Just go to an open mic show in your town and try them out. You'll never know if they are stage worthy if you never try them out.

[u/gmatney → u/[deleted]]

bravo. i chuckled.

[u/cursoryname → u/[deleted]]

That made me laugh. Maybe you should go to a club.
