Comedy Masterclass PLUS Bee Movie SPOILERS

I HATE having the first thing I tell people about myself be anything to do with comedy. Ask any comedian why. I don't tell most people that I'm a comedian at all. Especially people I work with and randoms. I worked at my last job for a year and a half and they never knew. I consider the people I live with to be randoms, so I would rather they don't know anything about me at all. I would just rather choose who knows stuff about me, like people on the internet I'll probably never meet. Unfortunately I had a gig the other night and I let it slip. Mistake. Except for this exchange
"Where do you get your material?"
"Well" was all I said before she interjected "I could never do it but I've got some stories. There are a lot of real idiots out there".
She's right about that.

Later on we were watching Bee Movie in the lounge room and I was typing down all the amazing things she was saying. I can literally just sit there and transcribe them as they happen. Now, bear in mind that Bee Movie is an animated film about a talking bee which sues Big Food for ownership of all honey at the same time as romancing a florist, so it would be pretty hard to mistake it for a documentary. Plus doesn't that Bee sound JUST like Jerry Seinfeld.  About 10 minutes from the end there is a scene with a Jumbo Jet about to crash and a million bees fly under it and lift it out of trouble to which my housemate said "yeah, as if".

But then she asked me what I was typing. I said I was working on some new material, which is a statement that could not have been more true. Then the Masterclass began.

"Comedy is hard", she stated. With all of her years of experience, she should know. I took in a breath and got ready to type as fast as I could.
"It's really hard to judge what people are going to find funny."
I wanted to laugh now but no way was I going to stop this.
"I went to a comedy club once and this kid got up and some people in the crowd were really cruel. His work definitely needed improvement, his stuff, you know, it needed work. I cant really remember what happened but yeah".
So it was a good story all round and I learned a lot.
