Stand-up comedy at the Black Swan Tavern in Toronto on Sep. 9, 2008. This is the end-of-class show for a stand-up comedy workshop Josh took this summer through Bad Dog Theatre. Each week he would bring in his thoughts and the teacher - Dawn Whitwell - would offer some advice on what to keep. Most of Josh's thoughts involved being alone and depressed. For the show he decided to talk about the stain on his bedroom wall, his sleep tips, why he wants to die in a nuclear war, how to personalize Happy Birthday messages on Facebook, his love for an intern at work and why he wishes he were gay. You'll laugh, you'll cry. Mostly cry, actually. (Side Note: Why is there a girl standing on stage at the beginning? She was chosen as the class MC. Apparently a week before, her and Josh had joked briefly about her staying on stage and bantering with him. Josh forgot about this "plan." Josh likes to think that her standing there is why people weren't laughing at the beginning. They were confused and distracted. That's Josh's story and he's sticking to it.)
