The Fandom Comedy Festival, The Park, Friday afternoon
Friday, August 17th, 2007 04:43 amA stage was set up with a screen showing a brick wall behind it, just to give it a real comedy club atmosphere. There was a drum set off to the side with a blonde woman ready to drum rimshots where appropriate.
Drax stepped up to the microphone looking as pleasant as ever as he glanced at his notecards. That is, he looked like he would kill the stage if he could figure out how he could make it feel pain. "Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Fandom Comedy Festival. We have plenty of entertainment for you this afternoon to make sure that you laugh, chuckle, and guffaw... Guffaw? Who wrote this? Some of our students will be coming up here to show off their comedy stylings, and we'll be showing some other things that will make you smile." Drax was not smiling. "But just to start us off, here is a joke."
Drax glared at the notes. "I'm not going to tell a joke."
"TELL IT!" demanded a voice that sounded like a high pitched Jerry Seinfeld impersonator.
"No," Drax said. The voice didn't respond... yet.
