    Help Needed Immediately!!!

    This is an SOS.

    I have to host a Laugh-Off tonight. For those of you who don't know what that is, its basically a comedy show where participants have to try to be the funniest of all competitors. I was chosen to host this year.

    Problem: I don't know what I'm doing. While I can do improv comedy and write comedy, I can't get up there and do stand-up comedy. I need tips. I was going to do a routine about California, but it seems kinda pointless since its OVER.

    Now I'm thinking of doing a Cubs/Red Sox world series routine...but I dunno. I just basically need to be the warm-up, and then have a funny joke between acts.

    I'd appreciate it...thanks

        It has to be something just to warm-up the audience. I need to introduce the panel of judges, so I'm going to try to make fun of them (they're professors, which is good, but I don't know them, which doesn't help). I dunno if the California recall is good enough for the college audience.

            who are you?

            You are the host, not a contestant. You don't have to be funny. Just do it straight. Introduce the contestants and keep them moving. Gauge the audience appreciation between contestants.

              I don't think I'm going that route. I'm the host for a reason: people think I'm funny. I've been asked to give a warm-up routine, as well as a commentary between each contestant.

              I have no problem with the commentaries, and I think I'll be funny introducing the judges. Its just the warmup I'm concerned with.

                  Steal

                  In that case, steal from others:
                  Top 10 things Arnold will do as governor (from letterman)
                  Stupid news articles (from leno)
                  etc.

                        At my football-based school? That wouldn't go over well...

                        ...though I might insult cheerleaders and nerds, in which case I wouldn't stop from insulting the APES (which is actually the football frat name)

                          Glad to help, E.F.
                          Saw the Intro part, and stopped reading at that point.

                            How many Liberal Arts majors does it take to change a light bulb?

                            Who knows, they're too dumb.
                            or
                            Who knows, they're too busy waiting tables.
