Talking to Robert

Our documentary is going to focus on an 18 year-old amateur stand-up comedian from our area. Last night we sat down with him to get an interview. Laura and I learned that he cannot take any moment seriously and enjoys to make people around him uncomfortable, because he thinks it is funny. After talking to him for a while he opened up to us and we saw that he is actually a very shy person.

He enjoys acting just as much as he enjoys stand-up comedy and has practiced keeping a straight face since he was in middle school. He tells us that it is very boring to answer the way people expect and it is a lot more fun to say something that will form a reaction. He also thinks it is funny to be exceptionally mean to people.

Robert Solomon, performed his first ever stand-up comedy show last Tuesday and we're going to tell our audience about his journey to get to where he is and why it means so much to him. Stand-up comedy is an art that takes a lot of hard work and is underestimated by the commoner. Laura and I will be going to watch his second ever performance at the Improv at The Hardrock Cafe tonight.

His inappropriate sense of humor and lack of motivation caused him to put of performing for a while and he has finally started his career as a stand-up comedian.
