When I was in college, I thought that everything was funny, in an absurdist way. Now that I am 60, I don't find anything funny. At night, I tell my wife, "Let's watch a movie, but I only want to watch comedies." But there are actually not that many comedies produced by Hollywood. When I was younger, I did open-mic stand-up in restaurants and nightclubs. So, if Hollywood can't produce enough comedies that are truly funny, I'm going to have to create my own.
I'll put the first one on YouTube soon. I can't guarantee that it will make anyone, including myself, laugh. But it will be completely absurdist, that's for sure!

So true, @sofaramnotdead. Comedies are not what they used to be. I will often go to YouTube and watch an old Jack Benny show, he knew how to be funny without even trying. Here's to a smile, laugh or grin for the day😊

Let us know when it's on.
Looking forward to seeing you.

Hi @sofaramnotdead - I'm with you on most of today's so called comedy shows...not very funny. I like the old Dean Martin comedy routines with Foster Brooks. They would always bring out a good laugh. Easy to find and watch, just do a Google search for Dean Martin comedy on YouTube. The Foster Brooks routine is right on top.
