Please take a look at this.
In the event you were to lazy to click that link and read here is the gist. I am a 23 year old comic with a dream that has been archived by this 13 year old. Oh my God kill me. He was personally invited to audition for America's Got Talent. He started when he was 11. I started at 19. So in all the years I was working at honing my craft, he archived more in half the time!
I Googled the kid and checked kids resume. He has preformed at the legendary comedy store in LA, and has opened for Jimmy Walker. Remember him? You know... the "dynomite!" guy? Yeah him. Walker requested him. Like the kid got paid and stuff. Kill me.
Time to get a little personal. when I was in 4th grade I did stand-up in my school talent show. I was 10 or 11 at the time. For the most part I did jokes that I stole of the TV, but I ended with my own thing. I did a 90's version of the Wizard of Oz with a rap song. If you have not watched the videos of this kid, do so now. HE DOES A DAMN RAP SONG! Not only is he more successful then me, but he is more successful then me by stealing my thing. I bet he is a virgin too! Oh my God kill me!
Then again don't kill me. The more I think about it, this kid has to have a writer.... right? I mean he can't do this all alone.... right? I think some one has to be helping him with material. How would he know about no child left behind. Then again, if you watch the video of him at the Comedy Store he improvises some stuff. His bio also says he is quick on his feet and loves doing Q & A. Please some one kill me!
Now really don't kill me. This proves two things. One, if a kid can do something an adult has to work hard to do, even if they do it in a less impressive way then the kid will get attention. Think of any impressive task. Now imagine a 12 year old doing it. It becomes more mind blowing instantly. Two, the Internet makes fame much easier. This is a kid from Idaho. He would be no one if not for the Internet. So more power to you kid. You are funny, and I must say you made me laugh. But guess what, I can drive! HA!

Noah, do not, I repeat do not let others suffocate what you do. You have a voice that is Noah; no one can take, or steal that away. A lot of comics by nature, are very observant, self loathing people. Use those tools! All kidding aside, I think you have a lot of talent, and quite honestly you have an experiance that is totally different than anyone else; USE IT!
ReplyDeleteDear Noah, I am going to say this in the nicest possible way, but I think you need to face the truth. You can rationalize that a 12 year old is better than you in your head, and then I would suggest just accepting it. I mean, you are good, but a 12 year old has got you beat. Hahah! I am totally just messing with you, but I guess there is nothing wrong with having a 12-year-old role model? I am really looking forward to your talk! From, Ashley
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your talk. I agree with you laughter is good. I think laughter leads to positive thinking which in turn leads to better health, plus research shows that it is easier to laugh than it is to be mad. I also agree with you that some of the greatest comedians have grave emotional turmoil. By the way, your joke at the end of one of the classmates speech was very very good!!
