In reply to grabbag.

Further to your story, grab bag:

I heard that a new guy overheard them, figured out what they were doing, and tried to join their group. Not knowing the actual jokes, from time to time he’d call out a random number, but no one laughed; the older guys would just sit there silently, yet laugh when one of them called a number, even if it was one the newbie had just called. Finally, frustrated, the younger guy accused them of being unwelcoming. “No,” one elderly gentleman explained, “you know how it is : some people can tell a joke and some cannot.” 🙂

I was almost stuck in that writers phase until you I cam to this website. The funny thing is what you suggest goes sooooo much against conventional wisdom. But then, when you give it some thought you realize that it makes perfect sense! I believe this fact of comedy can either only be learn after a long time trying or you are told that information.

I am very glad that I have been told.

thanks for this. Thanks to your website, I almost never get writers block. When I was using traditional comedy writing material, I got writers block every day. This is a brilliant website. I think every comedian should visit it.
