Cursing Champion of the World!

For those of you who don't know me, I do improv comedy in Philadelphia.  (More on that later, this is only my first post)  Recently I was able to take a workshop with Susan Messing, of Chicago improv fame...

I would like to point out I am not oblivious to pop culture, but I have no idea who anyone is.  When someone says, "OMG Susan Messing is coming to town!"  Sorry, I don't know who you are talking about.  When I don't recognize someone's name I just become the 'trending topics' on Twitter.  The more people that talk about that person, who they are, what they are known for, how long they can hold their breath, I become more aware of who they are.  And ultimately, I become interested, even without people starting their statements with the pound sign (#).
Long story short, that's what happened with Ms Messing. 

Being warned by more than one person that she can be "rather abrasive" was an understatement.  This woman curses and said more innapropriate things than I have ever heard in a time of three hours.  I am a total advocate for cursing, but there is no way I could fit that many shit, whores, and cocks in that amount of time. 

I would just like to point out that the now-previous champion of cursing is, in fact, my father.  This man managed to replace the filler-word "Ummm...ummm" with "fucking....fucking."  To this day, he still makes it seem legit.  His close friends are aware of the fact that when he does this, he is not talking about describing anything with the word 'fuck' or describing sex in any way, but that he is just thinking about what to say next. 

The main lesson that I took away from the workshop is the fact that people who watch live comedy of any type are easily amused, and they are just looking to get off on what you're doing. And like in life, things that are "pretty" are more likely to make people ejaculate. This is the main point of why she does comedy, to give people a good time. 

I would like to take this time to say that the workshop was actually really helpful and am looking forward to getting people off while...fucking....fucking...I'm on stage.  Congrats to Susan Messing on the newly crowned Cursing Champ of [my] World!
