I did a comedy presentation at a local church Wednesday. Had a great turn out. Although I live in a small town about the size of Mayberry I didn't opt to use any of Howard Sprague's ideas. A person could get sued today telling jokes about their neighbors. So I have a fictitious farm community family that I build my stories around. Anything I say could be acceptable for any child to hear. People ask me why I got involved in stand up comedy. You only have to watch a couple of programs on TV to know the days of Mayberry have long passed. Clean comedy is a passing fad although there are hundreds of us trying to keep it afloat. We had a comedy contest in a near by town recently and I was about to apply as a contestant until I saw the fine print, "Adult language".If any one has a church or organization that would like to hear some good clean Mayberry era comedy I am always looking for different venues although I don't normally do places that serve alcohol as a business. My main character, D. J. Flatt, might have been ugly but he wasn't stupid...Just b/c he might have thought Roe v Wade was two ways to cross Wildcat Creek.
