it was an act of mother nature that took
this comedian from the golf course to
the stage hi I’m Veronica watchmojo.com
and today we’re speaking with all-in-one
performer David Hampstead is it true
that you got into stand-up comedy after
you got hit by lightning I was just a
golfer
and then I got hit by lightning and then
it didn’t really feel like golf as much
because it stings lightning it stings
don’t if you can don’t get hit I’m 33
and still single so looks like I’m
sitting out the first marriage yeah it’s
not that I’m against marriage it’s just
that um for logic
well so then how did you begin with the
jokes I was down in Missouri where I was
on a golf scholarship and then I saw a
sign that said student stand-up comedy
contest and I was like I always wanted
to do that so I signed up to do that
and then it went well so then I called
Dave Mary my buddy and he was already
comedian so I asked him how you get into
it and he sort of helped me you know he
shaped my learning curve tremendously
and helped me get my foot in the door
and so then I just started the
old-fashioned way just started doing it
the divorce rate right now is 54 percent
okay 54 percent it’s a big number really
intimidating number I’m a little spooked
about it let me put it in a different
context for you so we can take love and
romance out of the equation and I think
clearly for a second imagine if you were
standing on the sidewalk watching people
try to cross the street and 54% of them
didn’t make it
how excited would you be for your turn
really is golf really a workout yeah it
can be it can be if you play it properly
I try it and I take a carton drink but
you know some people really do get some
exercise
I’m getting older which means by default
girls are getting younger and I can’t I
can’t date young girls I can’t
they’re full of hope
and getting so tired of putting that out
it’s hard on my heart to watch the light
fade out of somebody’s eyes really it’s
so sorry look young girls still think
mr. right might be out there and and
maybe I’m him
now another great thing about your
comedy is that you’re able to assess the
crowd and change your Connie so that
they love it
how do you determine if it’s gonna be a
dirty crowd or a clean crowd like I can
usually just size of people in
stereotype them like that it’s a skill
yeah like I know everything about you
even though I don’t even have talked to
you I can tell you who you are skanky
trollop high date older women because
they know better they are they already
met mr. right and he turned out to be a
prick so
they’re usually willing to give mr.
considerate a second chance you know
heck with older women even mr. prompt
becomes sexy you know
it’s not much of a looker but he’s
always on time I really
admire that I do well thank you very
much okay having you
thanks very much
