Failing Foreword

I have just watched a show on Failure, usually a rich seam, in Britain at least.
He didn't explore the lows enough, there was little emotional grunt.
His inevitable conclusion that failure was worthwhile was tempered by
the fact that he lost me when we found out he was 32 and had a 22 year
old girlfriend, slagged off an audient for making him forget where he
was (otherwise a blessing in a pretty crummy routing and the audience
member was only trying to add something), and a sequence on the
Terminator movies which he exclaimed never worked and started slapping
himself when I reminded him there were 5 of them rather than the 4 he
had delivered in order. We were waiting/hoping for a punchline as he
was waiting for a laugh presumably. The Terminator movies had more
laughs.

His delivery was good though - he could have delivered any joke with
his likeable Irish lilt. The chap out of the door before me was
offering advice like he was a comedy producer. I felt like doing the
same and script editing his act.

So why not this.
Get Tim Key's act ( he looked a bit like him) and perform it from
beginning to end.
Credit it. People do tributes for songs. People do the same old magic
tricks. Why not comedy?
Pretty soon you might learn method.
And what comedy is in the public domain I wonder?


Why not try it yourself? Perform Lee Mack's or Sarah Millican's entire
act like you were doing a Springsteen cover for you tube

Tell me you won't learn something from that.
