DC Comedy Resolutions 4 2008, Part 1
"2006 was about learning how to be funny, and 2007 was about seeing where I am on the food chain, finding myself onstage and learning how to consistently have a good time. In 2008, I am going to make a serious effort at laying the groundwork for a real career so I can quit my day job." -Mike Way
"Perform. Perform perform perform perform perform. Also, in 2008 I resolve to bleed less."-Mike Blejer
"Start going to the gym to get more material."-Aparna Nancherla
"Get Colin Murchie off his ass and involved in this two-man show we've been planning. Finish my one-man show and, at the very least, stage a reading of it..."-Shawn Westfall
"This year I'm working harder on trying to bring out the elements that are naturally funny about myself. I started off with a heavier writing influence, but I'd like to be a little looser on stage. I want to experiment more with improvising, and get back to the joy of experimentation I had when I was starting."-Jimmy Meritt
"I think it's probably advisable that in 2008, women start washing their pussies."-Diana Saez
"My #1 resolution for 2008 is just to avoid apathy when it comes to stage time. Too many times I find myself sitting at my house at 7 at night thinking, "Eh I'll do a show tomorrow night." And then I see people who are getting up 5,6,7 nights a week and I'm disgusted with myself. As far as goals, short term I'd like to win an Improv Showcase and long term I'd like to start getting booked by the local clubs, if I can make that happen by the end of 2008 I'll consider the year a great success".-John Conroy
"Do more jokes about fat chicks."-Sean Gabbert
"Resolution 1: Try and get on shows (By any means necessary; Malcolm X said that, the star of Malcolm X in the Middle)
Resolution 2: Avoid laziness and write more (To achieve this I will get rid of my good job and nice girlfriend. Angry dick jokes here I come!)
Resolution 3: Stop letting a bad crowd get to me WHILE onstage (It's THEIR fault I'm not funny)
Resolution 4: Try and travel to some other cities to do comedy (Hampton's Big Adventure 2: Boner Parade)"-Hampton Yount
"I plan on being resolute, when it comes to performing. Also, I resolve to get better, during performances. Now, if someone can tell I what resolution means... does have anything to do with household goods, and cleaning-up??? Resolve."-Haywood Turnipseed, Jr (Scratch that, I plan on laughing louder; peace.)
