I'm in an online comedy contest going on right now and thought some of you might appreciate my stuff. You can view some of my act here. http://famecast.com/contest/centerstage.php?stage_id=6&round_id=59 The D&D bit is at the end. More clips of my act can be found here. http://famecast.com/backstage/artist.php?artist_id=2446&backstage=1 Yeah, I really do need votes as the contest is fiercely competitive, but the reason for my post is that I thought you guys just might enjoy the material. If you want to register and vote, I'm quite confident you'll be able to figure it out. Thanks in advance, Tom Franck

Confusion567 07-09-07, 11:03 PM	You are win-tastic! TEN THOUSAND VOTES!
Archangel_James 07-10-07, 01:35 AM	Not bad. If you were on tv, I'd stick around through the commercials. The D&D bit was good, with a classic last line, but who makes attack rolls with d% dice anymore?
jmachinder 07-10-07, 05:49 PM	Yeah, I'm aware you don't attack with percentile dice anymore. It's just got a rythym to it that I like saying. If anyone can hook me up with a vote, I'd sure appreciate it. Making the top five in this contest would get me a whole bunch of experience points.
Montravont 07-10-07, 06:08 PM	Very good. Well done and good timing. Only thing I would have to say against any of it was the over use of the word "OK". Not really a bad thing just one of those things that I personally notice. Overall, you get my vote.
jmachinder 07-11-07, 05:29 PM	Thank you for the notes. I take them seriously and will definitely be aware of that in tweaking my performance.
Montravont 07-11-07, 05:36 PM	thing about the "OK" issue is this. While I may openly notice it. Others may not. This could be a good thing or a bad thing. People may find themselves not liking the routine and not knowing why. Ala "The jokes are funny as hell but somethin about 'em. . ." While others yet may find that it's part of your natural rythm and begin to associate the use of it with your comedy. End result there being that, as I have honestly seen this with other overused things, you being able to get on stage, have the first word out of your mouth be "OK" and people bust out laughing instantly. So while its certainly something you may want to evaluate, I wouldn't work to hard to make yourself not say it just because I, of all people, noticed it. I am after all, slightly OCD about repetition.
Montravont 07-11-07, 05:38 PM	Or even play to it. Don't bother removing it or fixing it at all. Then, later in the skit make some joke about it and move on? *shrugs* a commedian I am not so I'll leave that choice to you.

Millenia 07-12-07, 07:35 PM	You're very funny. You've got my vote. However, the "standup set number 2" video has the volume far too low for me... even with my volume up at maximum. I know it's probably not your fault, but could you have the recorder do it better next time? >>a
Luis_Carlos 07-23-07, 01:15 PM	A skeleton comes in a bar and it says.. - tavern keepr, do giving me a beer and a cleaner. --------- What do it happen when a darwf enters in a tavern and he finds a.. ..a barbarian.. - Ugh!.. - Ugh what? - Ugh waht what? - what?

If any of you can vote for me again, that would be a huge help. Also, leave a comment saying you came from this board. Here's the link. http://famecast.com/contest/webcast.php?stage_id=6&round_id=60 Believe me, it's not easy trying to be a fanboy comedian and I'm very appreciative of those who get what I'm talking about.
Lord_Snow 07-30-07, 09:22 PM	good bit, i enjoyed it. good luck to you and your future.
