fandomhigh | How to Be an Entertainer Workshop #3, Caritas, 06.07.06, Afternoon

After the students had walked into Caritas and settled in, the familiar opening to The Final Countdown began. GOB walked onto the stage much more calmly than usual and waved to the students before finally stopping and speaking into the microphone. "You know, I just flew in from California, and boy is this joke tired!"

The zombie drummer rolled off a perfect rimshot.

"Continuing with last week's comedy theme, today we're going to be trying out standup comedy. A standup just has to be funny, so the entrance isn't as important as it is for other forms of entertainment. Just walk out to your music, be gentle with your audience, then rip into whatever the hell you want for a few minutes. Take a couple minutes to come up with your act, then take turns up here."

"The only rule is that you have to be funny. It doesn't matter what you joke about as long as you remember that. Also, don't mock me or you get detention. Just because I have a thick skin doesn't mean I have to use it."

"Oh, at the end of the month, you all have to participate in a talent show. And next week I'm coaching a basketball game. Come out to see!"

Nadia came on stage, studiously ignoring the Jamie in the piano, since she was suspecting the original Jamie was hiding somewhere and laughing it up at everyone's reactions to the crazy Jamie.

She had drawn a face on her left hand, including a large, bushy black mustache.

Where she got the sombrero for it is anyone's guess.

She stepped up to the mic to a mariachi version of "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" and launched into an act riddled with racial slurs and horrible Mexican stereotypes that was rather obviously based on GOB's own act from back in February.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. No, really, it is.

"You know what, Nadia?" GOB said. "I'm disgusted. We don't appreciate crude language here. And ventriloquism is still a couple weeks away. Maybe a detention will teach you a lesson to not jump the gun like that again. And use such terrible language. I'm disappointed in you."

Nadia gaped. "Detention?" There may have been squeaking. And flailing.

Then she wondered if this was one of GOB's jokes. If it was, she didn't think it was very funny. She pouted and glared.
