Comedian competition
It’s tough enough trying to make a living as a stand-up comedian without other people trying to muscle in on the competitive improvisation circuit here in the States. I’m referring, of course, to those amateur comedians currently running for the Republican Party’s Presidential nomination. Those guys (and girls) should stick to politics and leave us to make the US public laugh; even though they are sometimes way better at it than I could ever be!
I kid, of course. When politicians try and be funny it inevitably backfires and they might as well walk around carrying giant banners with the world “LOSER” in six-foot high letters. When politicians are unintentionally funny, though, clips of their gaffes spread all over the world within hours and rack up millions of hits on YouTube before they’ve even realised what they said.
