I dream about the day i can just worry about comedy. Right now i have to worry about where to do comedy, when to do comedy, who will come watch the comedy, and how to escape if the comedy goes wrong. If all this goes according to plan, THEN i have to worry about being funny.
Maybe comedians in Pakistan will start to evolve differently than comedians other places in the world.
We will tell our punch-lines first and if they do not evoke a violent reaction then we can tell everyone the rest of the joke.
We will compliment people in the audience so profusely they get embarrased.
We will crack lots of ‘my momma’ jokes get offended at ourselves and give people their money back.
I don’t know why we find it very hard to laugh at ourselves, but we comedians should have secret plans drawn up those of us who perform in dangerous countries
Pakistani comedians should start performing from inside the audience so no one can tell who is telling the joke. People would not know who you are, and most comedians are practically invisible anyways.
The mic wire should be made razor thin just in case someone attacks us on stage, this way we can strangle them while still performing. Actually, i think comedians all around the world will appreciate this.
And finally should try not to be funny, if you are not funny no one can come after you, but if you are hilarious chances are you have pissed off someone.
