Why write comedy?
I’m probably far too normal and boring to be a comic writer, but I like to laugh; and that’s a start. Of course, some “normal” people make great comics and writers. People such as Bob Newhart, Jerry Seinfeld, Jeff Foxworthy, and Bill Engvall come to mind. I’m not as “normal” as those people, but maybe I can learn to write something funny.
Bob Newhart said comics are self-absorbed; and I think I can do that part; the self-absorbed part. Are you still reading? I don’t really care because I’m working on being self-absorbed. Really, I just laughed. Did you? Maybe I need to work on being more self-absorbed after all.
Well, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it; at least until I can come up with something better.
