But I can't do canned material.
It feels too artificial.
But that is what stand up is.
The good stand up is a good story teller, which I'm not.
I love getting into trouble, the painting of oneself into a corner, not knowing what to do, and defusing the situation with repartee.
It's thrilling.
I notice a lot of standup comedians learn vocal tone and pacing and can get by on that.
The actually content of the jokes are not funny.
And yet they make a living.
