Stand up
I'm a regular on the open mic circuit in london and recently had a paid compering spot in front of 80 people all hen nights and stag do's. With a front row made up entirely of rowdy women I decided my first point of call was to tell this joke 'I've had a bad week, My mum's not been very well and my sister's just had a miscarriage...we're all going through a very bad period' it was met with shock, silence and then boo's to which I replied 'I thought women found miscarriaging HILARIOUS!?' ...I had to keep going back on after the acts to be greeted with incesant booing, jeering and shouts of 'you wanker!' but I thought i'd stay strong and stick to my guns and so referred to the evening I was having as 'how a jew might feel returning to Auschwitz for the first time' this was then followed by a plastic cock flying into my face. After that the crowd seemed to find anything they could to throw at me, plastic glasses and 2 more plastic cocks. It was the worst gig i've ever done and I usually go down quite well, but even stating this fact didn't seem to settle the cloud of angry estrogen that had filled the room. I ended with how both the marriages would eventually end one way or another, either with divorce or death and that i hoped it would be the latter, sooner rather than later. Bitter, a little bit...

Call off the search, I've just rumbled James 'Jamescartercomedy' Carter's new username.

I'm racking my brain
to find a situation where miscarrige could possibly be seen as funny. Particularly in front of a bunch of ladies, many of whom have probably been thru the ordeal. And an ordeal it is - that's coming from a bloke. Don't worry I know you're taking the piss...
Please feel free to invite me round for a drink and a laugh next time your missus pushes an unviable foetus and the lining of her uterus out her clacker.

Is it not incumbent on the compere
to a) judge the mood of the crowd and adjust their material accordingly? b) keep the mood positive and encouraging for the other acts?

Which makes you a shitty compere for both the audience and your fellow comedians.

Hm.
Death is a tricky thing to handle, especially in humour, as you so gallantly illustrated. I think you lost the plot when you chose to laugh with death, and not at it.

I think his problems started when his joke wasn't very funny to start with.
