Comedy Gags Novels & Stories

Gemma asked how many times he'd been divorced, and that shut him up quickly. The act after him was clearly the newest of all the wanna-be comedians who had been up so far. Each of his jokes he started with 'So did you guys hear...?' and he read a bunch of jokes about Australia off his phone. He got booed off stage, and you and Gemma didn't even start it. Then the Host introduced one of their 'regular crowd favourites', and you had to assume it was one of the semi-pros he had mentioned.

Need a stress-relief quest? “No. Just…go hibernate or something.” I dragged my suitcase toward the guest room. It was massive, too big for someone who grew up sharing a room with three cousins and a gecko. The bed was soft, the curtains heavy, the air conditioner too cold. Even the silence here sounded expensive. Still, I had a job to do. Make him laugh. Easier said than done. By morning, I’d rehearsed about ten different ways to do it. Option one: classic humor. Option two: sarcasm. Option three: trip dramatically and hope he’s human enough to chuckle.

"You're wrong. People fall in love exactly like that. Slowly. Then all at once." The way she said it made my chest tight. Like she was talking about something specific. Something real. We finished her movie. I put on Caddyshack. She made it twenty minutes before groaning. "This is terrible." "This is a classic!" "This is juvenile." "You have no taste." "I have excellent taste. This is literally about a gopher." We argued through the rest of the movie. Comedy styles. What made something funny. Whether golf movies could ever be good. At some point, she migrated closer. Stealing popcorn from my bowl instead of eating her own candy.

The comedian on stage was pretty good, cracking jokes about everything from bad dates to the weird things people do at the grocery store. I glanced over at Sarah, and every time she laughed, it was like a little weight lifted off my chest. Halfway through, the comedian launched into a bit about couples, poking fun at all the little things people do when they’re comfortable around each other. I leaned over to her, smirking. “That’s us,” I whispered. “You know, minus the weird grocery stuff.” “Oh, please,” she shot back, rolling her eyes. “You’re the one who insists on checking every single expiration date like it’s a life-or-death decision.”

I nodded without even thinking twice. What Gina meant by decompressing was getting high. We'd empty bottles of whatever was available and say shit and laugh our hearts out. Not going to tell a lie, it was a very effective way to decompress. The aftermath of it all was we would crawl on the floor with our bellies, shatter as many glasses as we could, and make a big fool of ourselves and I kid you not, as brainless as it sounded, I was a hundred percent down for it.

He casually said as he gestured at the clothes in his hands. In response Maya did something that shocked both her and Jordan - she laughed. Not a little chuckle, but a full belly churning, laugh. The laugh people use when watching a stand-up comedy shows. Uncensored and uncontrolled. "Casper?" Maya wheezed clutching her sides as tears fell from her eyes.

MADEA Jason burst out laughing, so hard that for a moment I genuinely thought he might choke. His head tilted back, shoulders shaking, one hand pressing to his chest as if I’d delivered the most outrageous joke of his life. The sound filled the dining room, loud and careless, echoing against walls that had held years of my quiet endurance. “Wow, Madea,” he said between breaths, wiping at the corner of his eye as though tears of amusement had formed. “You really have a thing for comedy. I must tell you, that was good. Have you ever thought about signing up somewhere? You almost had me there.”

At last, Nick passed out in pain. Gavin was still unsatisfied and kicked him again. Tessa on the bed was in a messwith puffy eyes. After wrapping her tightly, Maxwellhold her across his arms. Gavin asked Maxwell, "How to deal with this bastard?" "It depends on you." ... Alicenearly watchedthe whole movie in the cinema alone.

The room went dead quiet when I said I would take the prize, but that quiet did not last. A second later, laughter thundered through the air. Lily Smith was the loudest, doubling over with tears streaming from her eyes. "How else could she be the top seller?" she cackled. "A woman like her has to have skin as thick as a rhino." I ignored her snide comments and kept my cool. "Just to be clear," I said, "since the company so generously 'rewarded' me with bathroom duty, that's all I'll be doing for the next three days. Everything else is off my plate."
