Hey everyone,
I posted this in the Now That's Funny forum, but since there are so many gag-tag threads in there, any real posts get buried. Mods can feel free to delete that one if you want. Anyway... Here's a video of some stand-up comedy scattered throughout my stage show, filmed recently at Penn State. If you're familiar with my material, there are some old jokes and some new ones in here. Check it out, and I hope you enjoy! http://www.facebook.com/video/?upload&oi......1&ref=mf Brian |

The pregnancy test joke is too similiar to a Dat Phan bit.

I don't know who that is, and I don't know the bit. Almost any joke written by any comedian is similar to some joke by some comedian. The difference is in the character and presentation. Don't get too hung up on it.

Which is pretty much the same as with magic tricks: You can trace back any given trick to other similar older tricks. It is the performer's unique approach and personality that makes things new. And your personality I like a lot, both as a comedian and a magician. Good work! |

Really funny stuff Brain. You have a good connection and rapport with the audience. You're material is original and entertaining.

Almost any working comic would disagree with you. Doing clubs what I hear most often from headlining comics is, "Usually I hate magicians because they do all the same ****..." Of course there will always be similiarities especially among average comics. The point is that your bit is 'too' similiar. Earlier I made a mistake and wrote Dat Phan. I meant Daniel Tosh here is a link to his bit http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Daniel_Tosh......82003.29 , "Sometimes, when I'm feeling down because nothing seems to be going right, I like to take a home pregnancy test. Then I can say, "Hey, at least I'm not pregnant." And I know happy days are around the corner." -Don |

I'd never heard that. Since I've been doing my joke for years, and not a single comic, entertainer, or anyone has ever drawn a comparison or said anything, I'm guessing they're not similar enough to worry me:
"I bought a pregnancy test on the way here, which is weird because I don't have a girl or anything; but sometimes, I just need some really good news." Same theme, totally different joke structure. I'm not concerned. If Daniel Tosh has an issue, I'll stop performing it no questions asked, even though I didn't take it from him. No worries Don. |
