Need Topics of Pun!


Hi Folks,

What better way to get suggestions then using the Surveys Village :).

Hope everyone is fine. I was just told last minute I will be performing an 8 minute stand-up routine somewhere in NYC.

So I have two topics in mind. I could either make fun of my work...which is ok & make fun of arranged marriage situations.

So My ? Any other suggestions of what topic to make fun of?

Cheers!

I love Omid Djalili..I think he's hillarious..his middle-eastern jokes are by far the best in the business! Would love to see one of his shows..

Mate..you should definitely look at some of Omid Djalili's material....he's an Iranian comic and his tours are always sold out here...he does the ethnic thing very well

Yo, Staj take your Yahoo maps offline, will ya? And stop advertising for Ballys. It maybe an offensive village, but it is still commercial-free. :*

I'm a ballys premium, i've had my membership since the detroit days. that's why i haven't signed up for other gyms. Kickboxing is in Hoboken at the Tiger studios. They had an internet thing on their website where they are promoting a 30 day trial.

hey MANO ur a stand up comedian....wow thats brilliant....i think you guys are awesome (when you're good of course :P)...i'd suggest the arranged marriage card, or taking the p*ss out of fellow muslims, or taking the p*ss out of mother-in-laws etc

Awesome will definitely check that village out. Waiting for my mentor to e-mail me more details. He spoke to me about it and just told me last minute.

ZZtop, yup my bit includes the accent.

Shirin, it's a mixed crowd mostly new yorkers I believe. Yeah I'm still in JC near Journal Square and I still work in JC by Exchange place. Definitely try to meet up. I go to the various ballys around the area. I had started going to the one on 32nd in the city, then one in brooklyn, and the one in Union City. I Figure the kickboxing should be fun hadn't done it in a while and it has no contracts. the first month is $99 bucks for as many classes as you want. So it fits in better with my routine.

1) Outsourcing to India (to quote jay leno: the San Fernando Porn industry is the only industry which WONT be outsourced to india ..ahem ahem )

2) Nascar fans and rednecks

3) Do one of those desi folk accent skits

Imrana: What kind of audience are you expecting at your gig? give us some geographics...i am sure we can come up with more ideas :)

Imrana: I know..I am MIA. For the past year, I have been in school on the weekends and the days I am off which is only Sundays, I chill and sleep in...but now I am free for another a month or two before I start school again on Sats in Sept. At the moment, I am taking a class on line, so I call the shots ;) BTW, are you still in JC? And which gym are you at? Do you work in the city? Maybe we can meet up for coffee or something in the city!! I would love to meet up with you..its been a long time ;)

I was aggressively looking in hackensack, and JC but everything in the range i'm looking for is in an unsafe hood.
yup July 9th. I've just been crammed with work so I just go to the gym and home. I know I know...I have barely seen you around at any of these events as well though. You've been MIA in a very long time.
