Whereabouts?
We can all come and laugh so it's not awkward.

I am taking my misses and have asked a few work friends to come while asking if I am dying on my arse please laugh lol

Well at least you know Skarjo will turn up!

Now THAT'S comedy!
Write that one down Kerr.

Well I have about 9 minutes of Material, I haven't managed to practice it as much as id like as my misses mum has had 3 heart attacks this Sunday just passed which has been hard to deal with, its meant I have had to dedicate a lot of time to other things, mostly looking after my misses and sorting stuff out for her mum. I recorded myself sat saying some of it today which I am going to watch over every few days to try and drill it into my head.

It’s an unusual take on the traditional mother-in-law joke, but with the right crowd it might just work.

Best of luck, kerr!

That might have come across a bit harshly. But talking about mothers in law in a stand-up thread…

I thought your comment did seem quite inappropriate, to be honest.

Well wishes to you and your family Kerr.

Yeah it was kind of asking for it lol

I think sometimes it helps to find the humour in even the darkest things a lot of medical professionals and stuff have what they call a gallows sense of humour. The thing that's annoying me right now but I am sure I will find it funny one day, her mums supposed to be doing very very little leaving the housework and cooking and such for us, but shes like a combination stealth Ninja and naughty school child you turn your back for 1 second and she's trying to fill a washing machine before you can or bake a pie and then when you say something to her she claims she hasn't done anything completely straight faced , it reminds me of when I worked in a nursery and as you were talking to one kid another kid was eating sand and smiling or trying to push a felt tip pen up his nose and when you said ''little Johnny why were you trying to push that up your nose'' the kid would shrug and go I wasn't doing nothing.....

To be fair, kerr that is quite a funny image and with some tuning could make a good stand up bit!

I read Kerr's "just passed" comment in his previous post to mean the mother-in-law had just passed away. The fact she's baking pies and filling washing machines suggests I may have misinterpreted.

Maybe she's in heaven and God has a traditional view of what women should be doing?

Nah shes ok other than being a pain in the butt, she had several heart attacks and then surgery but shes at home now supposed to be on pretty much bed rest but instead is trying to do all sorts of gooseberry fool she shouldn't be..... I am very glad shes ok but if any of you have leg irons and want to post them me I could certainly use them.

Well, that's another possibility. God does like a good woman-made sandwich after all.

Good to hear it! Not the heart attacks of course, but that she is getting back on her feet. Hehe ok, I'll keep a look out And keep on coming up with good material

Haha, no worries. I do like to push the limits of taste, but never with malice, but I did think I might have overstepped with this one. All was good once I knew kerr hadn’t taken offence.

None at all, my stuffs quiet dark comedy wise I have a whole bit about date rape drugs for example which I am sure would get me a 3 hour lecture from my daughter lol

I was thinking about what I am going to wear, I went through the idea of offensive T shirts or really bad multi coloured shirts but decided my own custom T shirt was the way to go, so here it is the design I have paid to have made and delivered
