Humor

The Humor Project consisted of studying two comedians or comedy related things and then writing/designing a comedy piece of our own. I chose stand-up comedy.

The two comedians I chose were Gabriel Iglesias also known as Fluffy and Jimmy Carr. I really enjoy their Netflix specials so I studied what about them makes their shows so enjoyable.

I wrote a script for my stand-up performance and then I performed.

Script:

My boyfriend is also my best friend. We spend a lot of time together and if there’s anything I’ve learned it’s all about Judaism. I found out that Judaism is the only religion that I know of that is passed down from mother to child. So if your mother is Jewish, you are automatically Jewish. I found out a few years ago that I am the result of an egg donation. So it occurred to me that maybe I am, in fact, unwillingly Jewish. Highly unlikely but it’s not like the Old Testament says “oh well if you had a donor egg or were adopted etc. then you are or are not Jewish”. So I guess by the time we got to this era God was like “well do whatever you want I guess *mumbles*”.

I am not a religious person but I am however spiritual. I’ve got the crystals and the sage and a bunch of plants. I believe in plant medicine which most people call drugs. This one time, my sister wanted something to help her fall asleep so I made a tea concoction and she fell asleep. Now she claims I drugged her with hippie magic.

My boyfriend and I have a running joke that he’s gonna send me to an insane asylum. I agreed as long as they have margaritas and mirrors. Margaritas are an obvious one but I want mirrors because I like to have conversations with myself. Of course I talk to myself anyway but it’s nice to have a face to face conversation, you know.

I drive a mini truck because I’m still saving up for a hippie van. I drive a Ford Ranger. It’s a small truck but I swear it’s a tank. I’ve been rear-ended and t-boned; not a scratch. I’m 4’ 11” so truck life can be difficult. So I’ve been asked how do I clean my windshield? I just climb on the hood. Yes, many people at the gas station give me looks. I can sit anywhere on my tank…I mean truck. My boyfriend on the other hand is Jakob the guy with the orange Porsche so he will scream like a little girl if anyone even leans on his car. Oh no, my 120 pounds of weight might dent it. I’ve been 120 pounds for the last 3 years minus snack time.
