Back in 2006, I started taking requests -- friends, family or total strangers could challenge me by e-mail to do four minutes of jokes on the subject of their choice. For each challenge, I gave myself a few weeks, then posted the results (as performed in front a live audience) online, for better or worse. What started out as a fun experiment ended up generating some of my best stand-up. The first 24 topics were complied into my second comedy alubm, "I Take Requests." But I'm still open to new topics.
If you have a subject you'd like me to joke about, e-mail chris@dcstandup.com with your name and suggestion.
