My first American gig - Three minutes of red-hot jokes about polygamy told to a mormon crowd - raw
This is a three-minute set, comprised of new material I wrote for the occassion. Knowing I was headed into a mormon crowd meant that I wanted to write something specific to them.
I like writing around and through subjects, so as much as I was poking fun at polygamy, my character was always the butt of the joke. I think this is better than more plain observational stuff that relies on the formulaic "Has anyone heard of SUBJECT, what's all that about?"
Anyway, I wrote loads of notes on my arm for this, which I worked out was about 2hrs worth of material, so this has turned into its own show.
Hoping to go back to America in the future to do some more.
