How To Promote Stage Comedy In a Geeky Way?
shaitand writes "I recently went to a renaissance festival where a man (Arthur Greenleaf Holmes) performed some of the most obscene NSFW and hilarious comedy I've seen in a long while. The show was free and he had CDs and DVDs in his bag and accepted donations. I certainly gave one. But why is this guy doing niche fairs and not HBO specials? I contacted him and he said that he would love to break out and because of his costume he has trouble and the nature of his act he has trouble getting on to traditional stages. How would you promote such an act? On further conversation he said he is an avid supporter of free flow of information and strongly encourages pirating his work far and wide. Since he is primarily interested in making money with live performance and not media sales I thought if he took this to the next level and released a DVD under a creative commons license the exposure and interest generated might help him break into new forums with his act?"
I'd post an article on Slashdot with a link to some of his material. Maybe post it in the form of a question asking how it relates to geeks in some way. That might spark some debate.
It's not a site for people with humour.
10: OH I'd disagree,
20: I've been voted +5 Funny repeatedly on Slashdot. And that is proof that Slashdot users have humor, because I am funny, very funny, I know this because I have been voted +5 Funny repeatedly on Slashdot where people are well known for having a great sense of humor, I know this for a fact because well..... GOTO 20
If my comment didn't sound as good in your head as it did in mine, then I guess we all know who's to blame
