When to not approach a comedian....

SelinaKyle83

So, was out at one of my locals tonight. b, 21Aussie comedians are rocking up in droves!! b, 21Our highest paid ones to our longest standing...not to mention one of our most famous models- megan gale (aka the supposed wonder woman).b, 21Out of all these peeps rocking up, i notice that a few are in one of my boys fave aussie films. b, 21Perfect opp- i see one of them standing just near me by his lonesome, thinking- perfect time to maybe have some dialect and see if i can get a pic for the fella. b, 21Cool guy, responds well, very surprised that i even recognised him from the flick- it wasn't too popular. b, 21In a split second i ask him what he and all the other comedians are doing there. b, 21It's a wake!!! b, 21Looking at his almost watering eyes, i was lost for words. Didn't know what to say! Was pretty cool that he kept tryna make conversation after this, but i just felt rotten. Without being pretty boozed, not a common thing for me to talk to strangers!! Best time ever to gain some faux confidence and talk to one....... img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ohmyer1.gif" alt="" 21 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nagl2.gif" alt="" 21

LOLb, 21b, 21like it's gonna be too cool for anyone other than a comedian...

yeah i know, but comedians are always easier to approach cos of the funny thing and there's always that expectation regardless that they are gonna be as hi-larious as they are on radio or stage or tv etc. b, 21Doode was at least super nice and i was surprised that he actually wanted to talk, but it just reinforced my knack for horrible timing. b, 21Harder to be polite at the end and tell them "it was nice meeting you......under the circumstances", "hope the rest of your night is good, i mean, gets better, i mean, is as good as it can be...." blaaaaaaaaaaaah, am superbad in those situations....b, 21b, 21b, 21on another note, can't believe i actually got home and on here and wrote about it......officially OH MY!!haha!!

i asked him if he knew how the employees go to the bathroom at dairy queen? How? how do I discribe this.... It was kind of a visual joke. I squatted and moved my ass around like I was making soft serve. He grinned and nodded his head. He could of thought I was a jerkoff but I don't care that joke is funny! I didn't think he would ever use it in his set but whatev...

Two blokes are re-visiting a brothel in Amsterdam with happy memories of the year before. One taps the other on the shoulder, points across the room, and says "There's the one I'd f*ck."b, 21b, 21Unfortunately Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Falk and the Cyclops out of Jason and the Argonauts all overhear him and give him a good kicking.
