*I* have done stand up comedy...even almost made "it" big.
I had to pass on the opportunity though. I'll always be kinda bitter about that.

ANYWAY...I also taught a course at Georgetown on that very topic (Pubilc Speaking disguised as Comedy 101).

How I got there without teaching credentials is a 'nother story.

But suffice it to say that I taught well and didn't fail anyone!
And I wasn't an "easy grader" either. I was really tough, but the subject material was fairly easy, presented in an intelligent way, and I broke them in slowly, as opposed to just dumping them in the deep end.
