WOULD SOMEONE BE INTERESTED IN REVIEWING SOME OF MY JOKES?
I have some jokes written that I plan to use for an upcoming open mic and would like some feedback on the writing. Which ones are funny? Which one's need to be pulled? Which one's need a better punch line? etc...
Interested? Let me know and I can email you the MS Word file.
Thanks,
John
