SF

Sadaf Fahim · 8:06 PM

Or I guess by people's reactions that it's strange
RS

RICK SHAPIRO · 8:07 PM

IS THERE ANYTHING,N IT CAN BE ANYTHING,THAT IS OR HAS BEEN ON THE TIP OF YOUR MIND LATELY?
SF

Sadaf Fahim · 8:07 PM

On the tip of my mind...
RS

RICK SHAPIRO · 8:07 PM

SF

Sadaf Fahim · 8:11 PM

@ross you can't really study standup in many places... I kind of made this up and fit it into a literary framework. people often look at me funny at my university.
SF

Sadaf Fahim · 8:11 PM

RS

RICK SHAPIRO · 8:11 PM

QUESTION ,,,
RS

RICK SHAPIRO · 8:12 PM

HOW OR WHY DO THEY LOOK AT YOU FUNNY CAN YOU DESCRIBE THEIR FACES LOOKS OR ATTITUDES?
SF

Sadaf Fahim · 8:12 PM

good question... it's hard to pinpoint
SF

Sadaf Fahim · 8:13 PM

I think it's because I'm not terribly good at presenting myself as an academic
SF

Sadaf Fahim · 8:13 PM

I think I say cock too much
SF

Sadaf Fahim · 8:13 PM

and I don't quote Foucault at all
RS

RICK SHAPIRO · 8:13 PM

★ Spotlighted from Michael Micklow

“@ Sadaf -- what do you think about the current trends in stand-up? I feel like we are missing those dark, sad comics that tackle cultural and political issues head on, like Hicks or Carlin. Louis CK does this somewhat, but not sustained..”

SF

Sadaf Fahim · 8:13 PM

so I think most people are... confused that I'm there at all?
SF

Sadaf Fahim · 8:14 PM

@Michael I agree that I don't see a lot standups talking about things that actually matter to anyone
RS

RICK SHAPIRO · 8:14 PM

ACEDEMICS NEED TO START LOOKIN N LISTENIN TO PEEPS WHO SAY HAVE OR LOVE LOVE LOVE THEIR COCKSN CUNTS
SF

Sadaf Fahim · 8:14 PM

it makes them harder to book I guess
RS

RICK SHAPIRO · 8:14 PM

BEFORE THEY START "DIALOGUING WITH THEIR STUDENTS OR SEX PARTNERS
SF

Sadaf Fahim · 8:14 PM

and it's because standup has become a more defined career path I think
RS

RICK SHAPIRO · 8:15 PM

CAR SALESMEN
SF

Sadaf Fahim · 8:15 PM

Rick, you'd laugh so hard at some of the language you hear around campus
RS

RICK SHAPIRO · 8:15 PM

DENTISITS IN SWEATERS !
SF

Sadaf Fahim · 8:16 PM

I agree, Lee Camp is pretty fearless
SF

Sadaf Fahim · 8:16 PM

and there aren't many like Rick, who is as much a poet as he is a standup
RS

RICK SHAPIRO · 8:16 PM

IM GLAD YOUR TALKING WRITING N EXPRESSING THESE THINGS BOUT COMEDIANS,BOOKERSN COMEDY WORLD
SF

Sadaf Fahim · 8:17 PM

@scott of course, with more people getting into it, we'll see some great things I think... we just have to look for them among a lot of inane bullshit
SF

Sadaf Fahim · 8:17 PM

it's definitely there though
SF

Sadaf Fahim · 8:17 PM

Rick, I'm trying to write about the stuff I care about but honestly I feel almost as much of a fraud talking about standup as I do in academia...
SF

Sadaf Fahim · 8:17 PM

I'm not sure if I'm more a fan or a writer
SF

Sadaf Fahim · 8:18 PM

I just love it intensely and want to do it justice
RS

RICK SHAPIRO · 8:18 PM

WHEN THERES A BOOM ITS NOT ALWAYS,ITS RARELY ABOUT BRAVE EXPRESSION , ITS MORE LIKE AN EASY MONEY TRAIL IDEA
SF

Sadaf Fahim · 8:18 PM

yeah and unfortunately the most formulaic and tame stuff is what makes the money
SF

Sadaf Fahim · 8:18 PM

when are you coming back to the UK to shake things up over here?
SF

Sadaf Fahim · 8:19 PM

@Michael thanks. I hope so... usually it results in me being really awkward and embarrassing around comics I love
SF

Sadaf Fahim · 8:20 PM

but when I stop giggling that I actually got to meet them, I try and write something slightly more measured
SF

Sadaf Fahim · 8:20 PM

doesn't always work
SF

Sadaf Fahim · 8:20 PM

@ross I was making this comment yesterday, that it takes so much time and hard work to get the form right, to develop the skills
RS

RICK SHAPIRO · 8:20 PM

IM ACTUALLY FIGHTING THOSE VOICES SLIGHTLY BUT WHEN THAT HAPPENS TO TRUTHFUL WRITERS N COMICS ARTISTS ETC ,ITS BECAUSE THE WORLD IS MADVERTISING,NEWS ETC IS PLAYING WITH YOUR MIND EVEN WORKING HARDER AT IT THAN A YEAR
RS

RICK SHAPIRO · 8:20 PM

A MINUTE
RS

RICK SHAPIRO · 8:20 PM

Sadaf Fahim · 8:21 PM

Sadaf Fahim · 8:37 PM
