Comedy Challenge (Corrected Deadline June 30)

Let’s play a game. Anyone can play. Here are the rules.

  1. The first person to post a comment below gets to name the topic. Anyone, comedian or not, can name the topic. It has to be clean, and can’t be Tiger Woods.
  2. The next part is open to all comedians. Write, perform and record material about the topic. Post it on Youtube, and email the link to me. You have until next Wednesday, June 30, 2010.
  3. I’ll post the entries. Come back and vote for the winner. The winner gets respect among his or her peers.
  4. If you plan to compete, please say so in the comments below, and tell your friends on Twitter and Facebook. Cool.

And let’s do it again next week.

    Awesome, Josh. You will be remembered for this, and you will be famous.

    Vermont–Guaranteed point deduction in any State Capital test.

    At this point I cannot compete, as I lack the technology to do so (I will be getting a video cam, so I will join in as soon as I get it). That said, I love the West Coast and cucumbers, so I think that Vermont is a GREAT first topic! I’m pretty sure “Vermont” is what everyone was thinking when you suggested a topic be thrown out. When can I expect to see some Bob Newhart humor posted?

    Oh and PS, your website is awesome. Well done Wilson! I’m really excited for you and all of the great things you have going on. Well deserved (I wouldn’t say that if I didn’t think you were really funny….seriously. I would just say something like “Hey John, you are my friend, well ok then”.)

    Great start.

    Raleigh, you could take $100 to Best Buy any day and walk out with a decent Flip Cam.

    Josh, I see, you’re taking it to the streets. It’s guerrilla comedy. OK. Well, I didn’t say it had to be standup, so it counts (for now).

    And tell your friends. I want everyone to be a part of this goal I have, to bring tons of traffic to my site. (And to push each other to write and perform more.)

    Whoo! I’m going to give it a try. Raliegh, maybe we could do something together? Or you could borrow my flip. Great site Jon! Also, wasn’t yesterday June 23rd? Do you mean June 30th?

    I spelled Raleigh wrong, but not on purpose.

    Weird, my new next-door neighbor is from Vermont and I don’t trust him. … I don’t like the way he looks at my Sugar Maple … I catch him all the time peering out a window, staring into my yard, and I can practically hear him, licking his lips, thinking, “Oh yeah, I am SO gonna tap that.” … Pervert …
