> That would scare me a bit as well. You know he has plenty of jokes to crack. I would have to go to a show (or 5) and sit in the audience to see how he does. My problem would be that I would tell him how much he sucks (if he does) at the next session! But, I guess we all have problems, right?
> I guess he can't use his clients as material, but you'd think he at least uses his profession... Strange. Does he at least crack a few jokes during the session?
> I just can't get over this. I'll be asking you a few more questions in the future as they come to me, if that's ok? :) I'm fascinated!!!

LOL, of course I don't mind :D
Actually, Ever since I found out that he does stand-up comedy I've been waiting for him to crack a joke alas its usually me that always is. He takes me seriously (i have a rather warped sense of humour) then I say "I was joking" heheh.
I actually dont know where he does his rountines and I feel like it would be prying too much if I asked. I told him a rather funny but embarassing story about an incident at the hairdressers that happened reccently and after *his* laughter subsided I looked at him with paranoia and said
"now you've got me worried that you'll use it for material" he laughed then said "well yeah..i could say..there's this girl I know".
Eeek! but he said he wouldn't.
But till this very day (and i have a session tomorrow at 1) I'm still waiting for him to say something genuinely funny or just ANY joke.
He's got a lot of tv stereotypes to live up to eg Jerry Seinfield, Ray Romano etc
Bring on the funnies!
I find it abit fascinating/unusual that someone who works in such a serious profession and has to be able to stay composed whilst hearing some pretty horrific stories would be able to totally switch 'personalities' and get on a stage and tell jokes. Also in person he seems like a very serious, matter-of-fact, reserved person but hey...I've managed to get him to crack a smile a few times with my lame jokes heheh.So, whatever you wanna know...ask away.
