There are some dreadful comedians out there. I mean really bad. Yeah, sure like all art forms it's all a matter of taste etc, but there are 'comics' out there right now where it's just not open to debate. It's usually these people that make you wonder if you could do better. I remember I was watching one such comedian who made me so livid that it finally pushed me to try stand-up comedy myself. And if you've ever thought the same, then why the hell not? But where to begin?
