Thanks so much to all the judges who are helping make this such an incredible contest!

Thank you to you, Mr TheHourlyLaugh, for your kind donations and continued support and contest entries. Keep em coming!

I just want to clarify, in order to win the people's champion I need to get a BIG SBD payout or number of upvotes?

Much better if it's number of upvotes.

Thanks Mate, greatly appreciate your support.

Your right hand does not have to know what your left hand does. (Just kidding bro XD)

you don't use both hands @fabian98?

It's a phrase that Jesus said, it's in the bible, maybe you've heard it @dj123

both hand is a phrase @steemnsfw uses

thought about that right after I sent it XD thanks

Always happen hahahaha

I may have thought of a funny last night, but then I saw that it was past the round 3 deadline and you hadn't posted round 4 so I had to postpone.

Upon waking up, I'm not laughing at my "maybe funny" joke so it's back to the drawing boards for me.

I will continue to help with curation though. You can call me the useless curator. (For now). But one day, you will all desire to make me laugh.

I would post it anyway. Maybe you will get one person to wake up to it and laugh, and that is what it is all about!

I ended up posting it after all!

Hey, This is #FUNNY!!!
or at lest #comedyopenmic don't really care about SP and whether useless or not if you will promise to go through the entries (as much as you can) and curate, we will happily put you on the curators list.

Well you can certainly put me on the list, I would be honored! I am happy to help curate your contest! I would love to see #comedyopenmic under trending topics!

This is great, hopefully every week there is always this contest.

with leaders like you stepping up and getting the word out, the future of COM looks bright, thanks for helping bring this to the Indonesian community!

I'm so glad you guys are here. first, I can not do much for Indonesian comedy in steemit. It's all because of you guys!
proud of you all!

you can do alot with or without us, you have to believe in our community to rise up with talent and support, but it's a leaders job to get the word out to as many Steemians as possible

True, I will always invite friends to contribute in this project.
Thank you so much for your support!

If you your entry is a Dtube stand-up of yourself and you take out either people's champion or Court Jester, a judge will upvote 1 of your posts 100% every day for 7 days

Would this apply for videos uploaded on DLive as well?

yes it does, as long as it's a video performance on a Steem DAP

Thanks for your reply! Just wanted to make sure :)

This are my entries to this week, I have seen how this contest has grown from the beginning, congratulations for making it so far.

Thank you. We really appreciate the support everyone has given us.

Thank you all a lot. If not from the encouragement from the folks following this project, I may of given up. This platform for new people is pretty brutal and I believe this boost you all show in support here is very important, at least for newer users. Thank you all again, seriously. I know the main reason is to grow the #funny tag, but the end result is helping members. I recommend any new person to join in.

The goal is to build a community of oddballs with great stories that make us all giggle, a place not unlike toads bait shop where everyone is welcome. Glad you're enjoying it. If you happen to see any newbies or anyone funny, by all means point them our way. We'll look after them.

Well I need a little help if any of you yungins knows how I can get my voice to read my stories so folks won't have to read the content. I had a buddy read one, then I read one out loud to him and he said hands down that I have to figure out a way to do this. I tell the story and its from the south, if I misspell the words like I read them, he said it would just destroy my writing. I hope you understand what I am asking, I mean it when I say I have a good radio voice, but in a video I couldnt enter a comedy contest, it would be a horror contest if the camera lasted long enough to finish my story, plus Im wanted to 3 states.
any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated
Thanks again

Go check out Dsound. It allows you to record sound and post it to the blockchain. Like a podcast would be great to hear your stories. I've not had experience with Dsound but if you don't manage to get anywhere let me know I can rummage around for a solution.

I checked it out and I think you have to have your recording and that is a place to upload it to. I will dig around some more, hopefully Youtube will have something

Dlive, I believe, offers a service to stream live content. Might be what you're after.

That discord channel link expired, I got discord working, figured I would try and get in there

Welp, round 4 it is.

My entry into the Comedy Open Mic Contest #4... The Omelet. Thanks @comedyopenmic for this interesting contest - Resteemed!
