Confessions of a Stand up Comedian - I BOMBED!!!!

[mussonman]

but, watching the video... it was kind of fun.... i will try it sometime again in the future.... but i am mainly a sketch comedian, and i will remain that way

[mussonman]

i just got back from my very first stand up attempt... i made people laugh twice... failed at two jokes, mainly due to delivery, and got off the stage after doing like 1 minute and a half... basically, i forgot everything because of fear and distractions

[MarcoArsenault]

Wait was that the redeeming or the bombing, cause that's not bombing, pretty fun haha

[MrCleanLarry]

@comedianscottnelson I think you had pretty good material but you rush through everything, and as a result seem kind of anxious, that style will work sometimes and sometimes it won't. Pacing yourself will give you better consistent success.

[newzlandG53]

BTW... Fuckin A you redeemed yourself. I lol'd

[newzlandG53]

@comedianscottnelson (cont.) least just appear to be the guy at the party who doesn't run up and jump on a table to show off... but is in the corner making a comment about the shirt the guy who is doing that is wearing. You have a great personality for comedy, and a good presence. Just DON'T ever be discouraged by one show. Cause you're funny. And can go somewhere. Don't beat yourself up EVER. "That's pride fuckin' with you".

But that's just my advice.

[newzlandG53]

@comedianscottnelson Well, let me preface this by saying I'm not a comedian, and I'm only 15, so you can take or leave my advice or whatever...

It just seemed a bit anxious. Like you were scared of, not necessarily the audience, but just how they would take to you. Which is *completely* understandable. There just weren't the pauses in there to give it the feeling of "I know what I'm saying, I know what I'm doing...". In comedy, silence (as I see it) can be crucial. Just don't be worried. Or at

[ru166]

dude that was funny!

[MDM781]

Hope you get your break.

[pivotrsr]

dude the only reason u bomed is probally ur self esteem was low that day dude ur fucking funny man!

[Yuomo]

What was so wrong about this? I thought it went well.

[butchermachine]

Good job!

[passingpoor]

I had to log in to say you have presence, chrisma and the look. Keep on Keeping on bro

London

England

[SmE227]

I'm just starting my stand up career myself, thanks for this video I know no matter what there will be some bombs, its nice to see that you can bounce right back. You are a really funny guy, good luck with the rest of your career.

[rivinhal]

from a new comedian, to you sir, I must say you give me hope that when I do bomb (everyone does it...) that I can keep pushing through it and still give a good show. Thanks man!

[jaysenchef]

fuck, i gotta stop doing my handshake bit...it's really similar to yours!!

[konatown5]

@jaysenchef you only have to stop doing bits if the other guy is famous.

[story46]

look watch, high five... closet homosexual

brilliant

[Cassix94]

You're hilarious. :)

[rangers94ism]

Dude, you have it. Just keep on chugging along.

[artyvlayd]

You're so right

[Allanlegacy43]

Why did you say you bombed for? you didn't, me thinks you like that self loathing style many comedians have, naughty boy!

[brusterj881]

SSRI antidepressants might help with the mood swings

[standup661]

Great material, well done.  High-five!

[BigxRed1991]

Good stuff my man

[livingisaight]

some of the best in the business bombed their first time up...chappelle, ck, cosby, etc

[Boogalooa48]

Great job you have natural timing, really funny set!

[nickypeeps]

you really fucking killed. youtube is generally filled with horrid hacks who don't understand why they aren't well known. you have a legitimate case. i can't believe i've never put a second thought into people saying "No, no. i just washed them." maybe it's because i don't wash my hands after i piss.

you really should have put up the video of you bombing though. when you respect what comedians do, watching them bomb is almost as hilarious as watching them kill, just for different reasons

[147ckjak]

dude u were good!...idk how u cud have bombed, good pee hands joke

[ItstheWaveTV]

I love your bits...keep it up man!

[TheSiSiDreamz]

u were pretty entertaining !! good job.!

[DraculinoTeamTx]

Nice job reeling me in...lol was actually pretty good.

[danieldaring]

wheres the jokes? none-could have been funnier when people were arriving-nothing funny-why take so long to tell a joke-no wonder u suck-even when u say hi to the people-not funny guy-when u ask why they are here-ur not funni

[BenRacicotTV]

I'm about to start stand up after writing for years. Live in Attleboro. Lets hang out. GJ BTW

[Tepicoelano2]

that was a good show man

[magio0o93]

DUDE WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU SAY YOU BOMBED WHEN YOUR ACT WENT PERFECTLY WELL

[xist522]

dude you killed pee hands!!!!

[SethHesio]

I like this. I searched for Stand Up bomb... and this was really interesting to watch. I've been wanting to do a stand up set for a long long time. I've performed on stage, acted in small films and hosted little live shows, but stand up is something else.

Steve Martin talks about bombing/ successful shows in his book Born Standing Up. It's very cool to see a video like this, keep it up.

[kumili727]

everyone is like 70 plus. maybe thats why u bombed. wrong audiance maybe?

[thegoatelpaso]

Your right that sucked Seemed like you were trying to hard

[carlosmontros534535]

You look like Tom Cruise.

[RichieEastside]

that digital camera bit was good haha

[TVWriterGuy]

Introduced as "he plays colleges all over the country" as a large group of 50 years + people take up the center front seating. That's a tough one right there.

Great recovery. You've got everything you need to succeed. Keep it up!

[drinkandrock]

Redeemed!

[mlsoccer1]

I searched "comedian bombs on stage" and.... uh... this is not what i wanted at all. You made me laugh dangit! Na but fo real dough, keep doin what your doin. Your great man.

[rongravy]

so being a comedian is alot like being married but you bomb alot less than we do?

[TOMMYSTYLESPRODUCER]

bring the fire every time.camera joke hilarious.

[TOMMYSTYLESPRODUCER]

i have heard of you, very funny...bring the fire every time!!!!!

[ACDCrocks051]

Pretty funny

[himynamesryan]

That was great, man. I've been a stand up for about a year now. I've learnt that bombing is important to improving material. Audiences are always different.

[skater4nater]

Ahhhh that was painful to watch

[PunkRockPat]

great crowd, o.k set. But honestly I didn't even grin. But it's hard to make someone laugh when they're not drunk.

[SupaKawaiiSunglasses]

Hey scott, I enjoyed this. Especially the pissing all over your hands parts.

Thanks ^___^

[TomMSTie]

Yes you did redeem yourself Scott, congratulations!

[jimtalife365]

dude i love the digital camara take with the video that has so happened to everyone

[MegaManZeroV1]

This was good. Misleadin' title!

[DeeperRootsProject]

You didn't bomb AFAICT. You're funny but I know how you feel. I did stand up for a while. I did one 20 minute gig and not even a sniff from the audience. That's when I stopped, my skin wasn't thick enough. You seemed good to me, keep it up.

[whatwallace]

I don't know how you bopmbed, your actually much funnier than some famous comedians out there. Jamie kennedy, carrot top. You are much better than them, but thats like saying eating cake is nicer than eating poo. Anyway, keep up the good work, you can be big

[cybersalad]

BTW, did you use the same material that 2nd time?

[cybersalad]

Funny stuff!

[Orbit915]

this would be funny if i was drunk. otherwise... nahhh

[MrTonyBonesy]

i like this guy

[noneyajdub]

Yea man, funny shit.

[rohannesburg]

OMG that was hilarious!, dude you are awesome, i can see the fame coming in

[rohannesburg]

well even if you did bomb, its a good thing, cos you now know how it feels, and you don't get scared

[vandalsmx]

You didnt bomb though, it was good.

[alspunos]

You're material is really good man! You must have just had a bad crowd. Stick with it.

[guitarfreak159]

i agree with coryrobertwill5. i am clueless as to how that could have bobmed. you are such a funny dude and you will do great!

[toweronepower]

i love the Pound, i hate the Euro.

[coryrobertwill5]

Very Funny dude, i cant imagine how that bombed but nice work

[s0undtribe]

i would hate going up to that audience, holy shit did they drop the bingo night crew off at the club that night

[bluejay02920]

in RI people are depressed so go to another state and you will do better

[chuobio]

That was pretty funny, which begs the question, what does it take to succeed in comedy these days?

[wersyentists]

... Like it might've been piss.

I laughed at at so loud.

[southernprep5]

this dude is not funny at all. sorry man.

[scottnelsoncomedy]

thanks for watching

[nicetiga]

I disagree. He's very good.

[southpaw816]

I now know who Scott Nelson is haha way to come back man

[scottnelsoncomedy]

Thanks

[choad45]

imagine if you high five the old guy in front and said, Yes! needs viagra!! (then high five him again to find out more about it him) Oh you're already on viagra!  Just kidding that might piss him off. but you can imagine that moment though.

[psychedelnick1]

this was hilarious, but, you should've high fived the old guy up front and said "Erectile Dysfunction!"

[wormemc]

Man your humour is on the money, honest observations of the absurd. Kickin arse

[bsoloud]

Dude, looks you've been workin hard in those NY clubs, Way to knock it out of the park!!!

[AlixxWuzzah]

Very well done mate, loving the material. My camera flash is the same lol

[hahafunnyman]

Redeemed indeed! Great stuff!! Keep it up!

[Corndizzog14]

i typed in terrorist and this vid showed up.

what did you bomb exactly?

(twas good! i think u shudda done a cocaine joke rite after the hi5 at 4:30. 5:52 was funny too lol with the im right schlep)

[ABesserman]

As a man who regularly pees on his own hands, I find your jokes offensive.

[comedianscottnelson]

solid besserman. thanks for watching. sorry there was no new material on there. I have it, just don't want to always put it online.

[choad45]

abesserman, lol, looks like we've got another comedian!

[AaronGerardFranco]

dude, your act is awesome. the pee hands bit was genius. laughed my ass off. keep goin, you're gonna be huge

[comedianscottnelson]

Thanks man. really appreciate the support

[kalpal67]

@comedianscottnelson guess that was a clever way to get views great act.
