Murphdogg,
Okay, will do.
On a side note, I don't have enough experience to give good advice that works. I only have advice that I haven't proven in anyway...

Murphdogg,
Honestly I don't think reading a book or taking a class can make you a better comedian. I think the best thing you can do is [Font size=5 face=a color=red]Get On Stage as OFTEN as possible![/font]
If you don't have many stages where you live, make one. You don't have to have a lot of stage time and/or experience to do it either. I was only on stage twice before I found a theater in Pittsburgh and talked the owner into letting me have one

but I'm also fairly street smart and know how to hustle when necessary
Whatever you do...[Font size=5 face=i color=purple]Good Luck![/font]

SweetLuchia, thanks..that's what I did with the sunday night show, just kind of hard juggling promoting and doing stand up this early on
