'Um, hi.' I finally squeak out a few words. I'm pretty sure jokes are usually involved. I don't think this is how a comedy act is supposed to go. The end of a joke.Īll it needs is whatever comes before the punch line. That's right-my mind is a total and complete blank.

While the whole audience stares and waits for me to say something (anything) funny, I'm up here choking. What am I, Jamie Grimm, doing here trying to win something called the Planet's Funniest Kid Comic Contest? To tell you the truth, it's one I'm asking, too! Okay, so how, exactly, did I get into this mess-up onstage at a comedy club, baking like a bag of French fries under a hot spotlight that shows off my sweat stains (including one that sort of looks like Jabba the Hutt), with about a thousand beady eyeballs drilling into me? Well, that's why my humble story is going to start with some pretty yucky tension-plus a little heavy-duty drama (and, hopefully, a few funnies so we don't all go nuts). Have you ever done something extremely stupid like, oh, I don't know, try to make a room filled with total strangers laugh until their sides hurt?
