First, I love the fact that you found Scott and then found me, watched this video, and then replied, all in an hour. Awesome.

And yes, there will always be people who will not like us, which is actually great. If we are not polarizing, we are saying nothing.

Thanks so much Scott! Yes, we are all the fool, and it's easy to bond with people if you just embrace that!

Thank you. This post really summed up what I said to Alana on her Alana Flower's Charlette, NC radio show the other day on “the six steps for radio hosts (and guests for that matter) to create a comedic persona”. I don't advise you listen to the radio show because it wasn't very funny listening to me teach the six steps… which Elizabeth, my dear (friend since I discovered you were Scott Stratten's friday pick five an hour ago) 1/2 an hour after I learned who Scott is @unmarketing) is precisely why your video above on how to be funny was perfect for me! Being the fool is fun, scary, embarassing and all of what you said above which is great if like you said is great if you can laugh at yourself while staying true to your authenic self! P.S. My worst critique after a comedy I wrote about Massage for the Philly Fringe '07, was from an ex nun. Choose your audience or they'll choose you.
