"Blue" Comedian
A few years ago I was naive enough to think that I could give stand up comedy a go. I worked up about 5minutes worth of material and took it to the toilet pubs and new comedian nights of Central London.

I soon found myself in the quarter final of a new acts competition. It being only one round after the entry heats it was still an enjoyable mix of experienced acts looking to bag an award and enthusiastic newbies such as myself.

On before me was a portly chap who fell under the newbie description. I'd seen him in the first round, his character was a younger Roy Chubby Brown type, telling rude jokes about vaginas etc. So I knew what to expect.

Sporting a bright blue double breasted suit jacket, he ran on stage, confidently grabbed the mic and pointed to the garment shouting "I'm wearing this tonight ladies and gentlemen, to give you all a clue what my act's about".

The room was completely silent, but he waited expectantly for at least one wily audience member to shout back "it's blue".

Instead one bloke at the back of the room called back the loudest I've ever heard "Is it about Jackets?!"

The whole room erupted into roars of laughter and he never regained his composure for the whole act.

That is fantastic.
I hope it's true.

It's completely true!
I had to write it down dead quick as I'm convinced one of the other 30 people there that night would get it in before me

More power to your elbow for trying.
I've done a coupla bits amongst acquaintances and that's scary enough.
