John Mayer: Stand Up Comic?

This past Friday, singer/songwriter John Mayer tried his hand at stand-up comedy. The singer went on as a special guest at the Comedy Cellar in New York City. Reviews of his fifteen minute performance seem to indicate that he should stick to singing songs. One person describes him as seeming “drunk or stoned, maybe both”.

The following section is taken directly from the source material, complete with comments from the original author who attended the performance. You can make your own decision as to whether you think John has a future career in comedy. Here’s some of what he had to say:

1) Women are sluts (If you’re expecting a punchline here…so were we. Didn’t come.)
2) Lots of sluts have “unlocked their Masterlock” for him. (Ew.)
3) New Yorkers aren’t really bothered much by terrorism. Cause there’s like “Missiles and s***” constantly being launched at us and we’re used to it. (Um…right. Might want to quit while you’re behind, John.)
4) He lives up on a hill “away from the black people.” (Danger, Will Robinson, danger)
5) If white people were allowed to use the ‘N’ word, he would use it about 1,000 times a day. (And yes, Mayer did use the ‘N’ word during his act. Several times.)
