Comedy Club - Close, but no cigar!

My opinion about the comedy club may differ from a lot of people who went there. Like most of us, I think the comedy club was a great relaxation, but, unlike most of us, I think that I might never pay 45  bucks for that. I can get funnier stuff with a bunch of friends.

I am now going to introduce another pizza story(no one has a lung collapsed in this one). Two of my friends and I were having a casual relaxationa party at a pizza shop. Like always, we challenged each other to eat as much as we could, the fastest we could, while laughing out so hard that the store owner had to threaten to kick us out. One of my friends and I was having a competition, who can eat a whole slice the fastest, in one bite. Here's where the interesting part comes, my friend, tried to swallow the whole slice in one go and start making gagging noises like a profession porn star. If there had been any blind person there, he could have sworn on his life that someone had changed the channel to Playboy, it sounded that good. And this was in the middle of a store full of people. He just wouldn't stop until he actually swallowed the whole thing. And for me, that was much much more hilarious that what I can see at any comedy club.

Again, like everything else in life, comedy is connected to your emotions. When I went to the comedy club, I sometimes felt like I had to laugh because that was my purpose, some of the jokes were so predictable, yet I laughed like it was the funniest thing I've ever seen. True comedy for me is spontaneous, it just happens. You get a bunch of friends (guys loosen up much easier than others), you give them some food (maybe even drunk) and when you hear what comes out of their mind, that my friend is True comedy. You can't fabricate it in a club, it's spontaneous.
