If you have arrived at this site in expectation of... well anything... sorry. To the rest we are using skills handout#1 and are bored...
Word Play is a highly effective skill when writing or delivering a joke... in an election it becomes SOP... standard operating procedure...
Your job as the comic is to document the events and sayings of the candidates... using words they provide... highlighting the idiosyncrasies and chaos of both the candidates and their rabid fringe... without becoming personal...
That doesn't mean you can't have a favorite... unless... and this is pretty self explanatory... you take money from a candidate. Then you become a different kind of entertainment... the fool... who was originally paid for by the King to make the crowds laugh instead of throwing feces... but I digress...
Word Play relies on... words and the order in which you place, replace or regret... saying them... a comic can LIE LIKE A SIDEWALK and should. The context of the reaction is what a comic should be worried about... did I leave enough for a tag... is there maybe a bit on the issue... and most importantly is there a way out the back???
The Facebook as I call all social media in order to see the youth grimace... has changed the face of campaign comedy... there are now thousands of wits looking to be sharpened in the heat of a campaign... and they have detractors and doubters in for the sarcastic pile on... in short Comedy Nirvana... and the more the merrier...
"Vote for me you have already Pre-Paid"
"Why is the LRT not going to MRU?"
"They kicked me out of Council... can you believe it?"
"Any one else want to be fired?"
"If we have no money for the next 10 years and fired the person who blew the whistle... why not just ask Dave to guide us thru the maze?"
