Josh Cincinnati's First Stand Up Routine

After many years of editing, shooting and writing funny things, I decide to try out the "live audience" thing. This is my very first stand up routine! Performed at Ri Ra Irish Pub in Arlington, VA on Wednesday, September 15, 2010. If you like awkward first times and video game references (especially about the original Super Mario Brothers, which inexplicably takes up half of my 3 minute routine), you'll probably enjoy this.

Dude, that was really good. Great for forst time.

Still doin stand up?

[ACityInOhio]

@heatbucspies55 I am! Though sparingly (work has made it more difficult to be funny publicly). Hope to post more soon.

@ACityInOhio How did you find it? is it easy to get gigs? did you ever get paid? :S i too write alot of jokes. thinking of taking the plunge

[ACityInOhio]

@CEOAtWork Just found a local open mic night! Easy enough to get 3 minutes anywhere...but nope, never paid, just did it for the shits/giggles. Do it! You never know how it'll go until you try

@RandyJez -- shoot man, sorry I didn't check this earlier. Hope your show went okay! Truth be told, I didn't really control the nerves at all, I was nervous as hell. Just got lucky it didn't show. @ Everyone else, many thanks for the feedback! Hopefully I'll have something more substantial to share soon...

I liked the first half, but you could have done better with the Mario stuff I think. I liked where you went with the "I wouldn't do any of that shit Mario did" in general but I wasn't feeling the actual jokes you used for it. But I think you should keep it up! I hope this was constructive criticism. From Reddit with love!

Really decent job, dude. Good going!

[MrQrunch]

Great job. Hoping my first attempt is half this good!

[WayneStandsUp]

Decent first time. Keep it going.

This was great. My first time is tomorrow and I'm trying to work up some nerve for it. When I think about it, I have a crippling fear of public speaking, so maybe this is a terrible idea.

I completely forgot you mentioned this back in October and finally just watched it. Dude... awesome work mate! Please tell me there's more and if so, please send it to me! I think you can figure out who this is.
