August 28, 2024Welcome Back SUCCers!!
*You hear Western standoff whistling playing in the background as I approach you in an old town saloon, my spurs jingling with every step*
"Howdy there, you think I'm some kinda fool?" I say (Clint Eastwood in his prime is doing a voice-over so I sound like him)
*A tumbleweed blows by, and I reach for my side with blazing speed. I pull the trigger, and a flag that says "BANG" comes out of the barrel*
"Well, you're absolutely right."
Ok, enough of that; also, now you are reading this in your head with my normal voice. It is no longer Clint Eastwood in his prime, and it's me now.
Welcome back to another semester. I hope you all have had a great summer and are ready to return to the swing of things! This semester, we are meeting in Curtiss 0208 on Wednesdays from 6 - 7:30 pm (that includes today). I hope I see you all there, as there is much to discuss and laugh about. Including Club Fest, our first show of the semester, and a discussion on how to silence the voices.
Ok, now I am back to the Clint Eastwood thing, and it's his voice in your head now and not mine while you are reading the rest of this.
"Take Care now, ya hear?" *Spits into a spittoon and does an epic backflip onto a horse with the sunset behind me. The horse gets up on its hind legs and neighs loudly (also in Clint Eastwood's voice), and I ride off into the sunset*

September 25, 2024Show Lineup Today!
Hey all,
This is a reminder that we have another general meeting today at 6 pm!
We are gonna get our lineup ready, so if you would like to perform at the show, try to make it today (and if you can't, text us and let us know). If you still would like to participate but don't want to perform, there are still many ways you can help! We always need people to help set it up and take it down, and we also need someone to DJ.
If you know of any opportunities to watch/perform, please let me know, but from what I can tell, the only opportunity to perform between this club meeting and the next one is the M-Shop Open Mic, which is October 1st @ 8 pm.
I hope to see you all there today,
Billy
October 2, 2024Final Meeting before our After Dark Show!!
Good afternoon all,
Today, we are gonna have our final club meeting before our After Dark show this Friday. We are gonna work on set preparation, and hopefully, everyone will leave today having a good idea of what jokes they wanna tell and in what order they wanna tell them. We will also be taking a small field trip over to the room where we are gonna have our show so we can get a feel for the setup.
Also, if you are performing in the show, get a good idea of what walk-up song you want (the song you want to have played as you walk up on stage). If you don't tell us what song you want before the show, the song WILL be Creep by Radiohead.
Hope to see you all there,
Billy

October 16, 2024Joke Writing Session Tonight!
Good morning, all my fine funny people,
It is my pleasure to inform you all that we have a very special guest attending our club meeting today. And that guest is none other than the professor of the honors stand-up comedy class, the legendary Gavin Jerome. He will be leading a joke-writing session, and whether you have never written a joke before or have written hundreds, we have a great opportunity today to pick his brain and hear about his process.
What you need to bring: something to write with, something to write on, and most importantly, a PREMISE or IDEA to work on.
It will be tonight at 6 pm in Curtiss 0208.
Hope to see you all there,
Billy
October 23, 2024Club meeting today!

Today, we are having another general meeting for the Stand-Up Comedy Club! We are gonna briefly plan our next club show for the semester and also figure out when our elections for club officer positions will be held, so be sure to be present to hear about that.

October 30, 2024ELECTIONS TODAY
Hear ye hear ye, esteemed members of Ye Olde Comedy Club
To-day, a rather recumbent activity will be revitalized. For the first time in many a fortnite will the club host a distinguished democratic election with no room for gallivanting.
So, prithee, my highly regarded patriotic compatriots, make haste for this eve's comedy tryst.
In other words, elections for next semester's club officer positions are today, and the positions that are open are as follows: President, Vice President, Social Media Chair, and Treasurer. If you would like to run for any of these positions, just have a couple of words prepared as to why you feel like you would be a good candidate and take it at least a little bit seriously. Other than elections, today we will talk a little bit about structuring a set but mostly have a chill time.
Hope to see you all there,
Billy
November 6, 2024Results of the Comedy Club Elections Today!!
Good morning all,
Today in the club, we will be going over and introducing the next set of club officers for the following semester! Also, today we have a writing exercise that I think will be a lot of fun with some sweet prizes to be won.
We will also be having preliminary talks about our second show of the semester, so before coming in today, just give these questions a little bit of thought: Should we have another show? When are my final exams? What would be the coolest room to have a show in?
Hope to see you all there today,
Billy
November 6, 2024Gavin Jerome Writing session today! (on top of election results)
UH OH, BOMBSHELL ALERT
Gavin Jerome will be making it to the club today to speak to us about comedy insights! Sorry if this notice is last minute, but lets please come show our support for the legend himself.
Ok, I'll stop spamming your inboxes now; see you all tonight!

November 13, 2024Joke-writing Activities and Free Comedy Show Tonight!
Howdy all,
We have a couple of cool joke-writing activities with chances to win candy prizes today (bring something to write on and with and perhaps a premise you'd wanna get some feedback on. It's gonna be a good time (cool sunglasses emoji)! Tonight, we also have an opportunity to watch a live comedy performance at the M-Shop tonight for free, so I'll be going right after the club, and anyone who wants to tag along can join.
Hope to see you all there, especially because the room's audio issues are (supposedly) fixed now!
yours truly,
Billy
November 20, 2024We are Getting Interviewed! (Also meeting tonight)
Howdy, all you funny folk,
That's right, you heard me correctly. We are being interviewed, and to everyone's surprise, it isn't because we are under investigation or something. A journalism student kindly reached out with some interview questions for the members of our group, as she wants to write a piece about our club. If you are interested in participating, here is the link to the Google Form you can fill out. Just keep in mind it is due tonight!
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfCu9sHH-o_6WBcnwCvh-QQol2JHqOwcr6ciSCWAKmyBPLepw/viewform
Anyways, other than that, we have a great club meeting lined up for you all today (Curtiss 0208 @ 6:00 pm). Since the "Guess the Punchline" game was such a hit last time, we'll do one of those today, along with some Jackbox Quiplash and a joke-writing session.
I hope to see all of you funny people there tonight, and if you don't come, I execute a cute baby animal, and the blood will be on your hands.
Love,
Billy
