"It's the final countdown!" (cue awesome synthesizer)

Well, I'm a week away from my first stand-up class, if I can even call it that, and I have no idea what to expect from it. I discovered the course while checking out upcoming shows at a comedy club. Here's the ad:

"So you think you're funny? Learn stand-up from a pro Joey Elias and The Nest present a 20-hour course (10 weeks) Sunday evenings beginning March 1st $200.00 / space is limited"

Joey Elias is a pretty well known local comic and is actually quite funny. I've had the pleasure of seeing him perform and remember listening to an afternoon radio show he used to co-host on The Team 990, Montreal's sports radio station. That must have been 7 or 8 years ago. Now he's hosting The Comedy Hour on CJAD every weekday night at 11 PM. He's described it as a "Comedy Writing Course" on the air and last I heard there was only one spot left. Them spots are selling like hotcakes, I tells ya.

Either way, I didn't think too hard before signing up for the course. If anything I'm sure it'll be a good time and I'll meet some interesting people. In the meantime, I've been reading over stuff that I've previously written, just to try and have some ideas to work with on the first day. Hopefully there's no pop quiz.

I hope you enjoyed the clip of Anthony Jeselnik I posted. There isn't much I've found out about him, but that set is borderline genius as far as I'm concerned. Definitely worthy of being the first one on my blog. I'm going to keep posting videos of my favourite comedians, whether they be well known or just something I stumbled upon.
