Charlie’s Standup Comedy Journal

August 28, 2005: Sketchy Comedy at the Studio

This is two clips in one. Two really, really dark clips in one, at least until I figure out whether I can brighten the DVD output, but still — two in one. Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there. Trust me.

First up, there’s a quick sketch — part of Erin Judge’s Sunday Showcase spectacular. I play a hayseed. I get sexually abused at a job interview. Twice. It’s very tasteful. No. Really.

Immediately after, my standup turn was up, so I came back for six minutes of jokes and jocularity. Still as a hayseed, more or less. I’ve been typecast for thirty-five years; you can’t expect me to shake the character off that easily.

But if you’ve been skeptical of my range, this is the clip for you. By god, I can suck the funny out of the room in two comedic formats. That’s versatility, folks. I’m a double threat!
