Stand UP Routine - Abel - 09-05-2006
This is a routine I'm making to do at school for stand up comedy. Any suggestions or comments would be helpful, there is more I haven't made yet.
I was with this one girl awhile back right, and I went in to meet the parents all nice and whatnot, you all know how it is ?Hey, how are you, I?m Evan, nice to meet you.? I did the whole introduction thing, I was polite and smiling and looked them in the eyes and everything. It all seemed to be going well until I talk to the girlfriend the next day. She comes to me and tells me what her parents though, ?Well they thought you were nice, but?? But. There?s ALWAYS a but. ?Sure we can cure your cancer, but you will need to give us your first born.? Or ?Yes this medicine will cute you but?you can get side effects such as nausea, irregular heartbeat, diahria, congestion, breakouts of the skin, loss of bladder control, seizures, black outs, insomnia, and sometimes death.? Anywho, the girl continues what her parents say ?She thought you were nice but, ? and I quote ?she said ?he?s nice but he looks like an alchy and a druggie.?
First of all, who calls a 14 year old a druggie and an alchy? Second, who calls somebody an alchy!? So the mom instantly had this bias of me because of how I look, most likely my hair. There are always stereotypes about me because of my hair. ?Oh he?s got long hair so he must be a hippy. And if he?s a hippy he does drugs.? It happens all the time. Especially to my brother Justin, but there?s more of a reason for him. He looks like the true stereotype of what you might think of of a hippy: Dreads, wears earthy colors, facial hair, etc. But we were stereotyped together awhile back at the Columbia mall, and it was the first time I had ever been stereotyped like this.
We are walking in the mall, about to leave and are passing through the food court and my brother hears his name called. He turns around and there?s three girls, a mom, a daughter, and their cousin or something. Anyway, we go up there and the girl recognizes my brother Justin from high school. After discussion, she looks at me then looks back to him, pauses and says real quietly, ??Are you two together?? Justin and I look at each other and kind of draw back ?Whoa, no! Not at all, he?s my brother.? ?Oh.? She replies, she looks back at him, another pause and again asks something quietly, ?Are you gay??

"Alchy and a druggie" sounds akward to the tounge and stand up is very verbal. I'd have to hear the delivery but in my head the words clash and make it rather anticlimatic to the build up. But delivery is key so you might be alright.
Everything else is great. The last story is pretty amusing, but deficient in fat people being similar to buses whence they don a yellow raincoat.
