Jon still has his pre-Kwanza celebration poster that you signed.
How long are you in NY, Dougsy?
'til monday. i was gonna stay 'til tuesday, but i don't like 80s music.
(boo and ya)
oy.
Hey Doug,
You mentioned Nitwits in Sioux Falls, SD on your CD... They've just recently gone out of business.
Is this evidence of a Doug Benson curse?
If, perhaps, indeed it is...what else that you referenced in your set would you be most upset if it too fell victim of said curse?
pg--Yes, my question is just a ruse to give you props for an excellent CD that I enjoyed listening to on my way back home from a road gig that I nearly drove off the road, Morgan Freeman style. Now, I'm thinking that I may have just survived MY brush with the Doug Benson curse!--seattle
i think there may actually be a doug benson curse. for as long as i can remember, every woman i encounter gets her period within thirty days after meeting me.
(cue the "oy"!)

Dougie B. i am sure you hear this all the time but do you have any advice for young comedians looking to get into the business?
Thank you
Siggers.
Every time Siggers posts all that goes through my mind is "Chosen One"
the short answer: don't do it unless you love it.
the not-as-short-but-still-pretty-short answer: get on stage as often as possible, and listen to advice but only take the advice you like, because it's your act and being able to do whaatever you want (as long as audiences enjoy it, of course) is one of the best reasons to get into stand-up.
It helps to have some kind of psychological trauma that you need to work out by seeking acceptance through an audience. So, if you haven't been traumatized, you might want to work on that part first. Get adopted by abusive parents, go back to school and annoy people until they beat the shit out of you on a daily basis, or become an alter boy in a catholic church. The rest is gravy!
(Note: above opinion is given by rudely answering a question meant for Doug Benson, and given by a person who has no clue what he is talking about. Mostly.)
Oh, one that's been working well for me is to abandon all assumptions about who you are. Take it or leave it.
Oh, it doesn't count if you go back and edit the post, db.
nyah.
Doug, What bad TV shows have you been watching lately?
dear doug,
have you or any comic you know been so drunk on stage that they actually vomitted? if not, what is the closest you've encountered? i loves me a good puke story!
