All of our original programming is closed captioned. We're working hard to make sure all of our movies and other programming will be in the near future. Sometimes new episodes of South Park will air without closed captioning because we receive the shows only a day or even several hours before they first air. South Park episodes that cannot be closed captioned for their premiere will be closed captioned shortly thereafter for repeats. We apologize for the inconvenience.

There is currently no Usenet group specifically for comedy writing. Comedy writers are encouraged to use alt.comedy.standup for that purpose. Since there is a huge overlap in the two venues (stand-ups usually write their own material) comedy writing is often discussed in the newsgroup. You're either new to the group or not a comic. People who peruse the group the first time often have no idea what's going on.

No, although many shows do have some stand-up comedy elements in them. Also, many of our cast members are stand-up comics. The biggest difference between an imrpov show and stand-up comedy is that in improv you get an entire team/cast of improvisors working to make you laugh as opposed to one lone comic. The up side is that improv, in my opinion, has a much broader appeal because of the multiple actor's senses of humor ganging up on you.

I’ve always loved Jack Dee’s ability to take everyday topics like his family or rail travel or buying a car and make the audience laugh when they realise we all share the same experiences. That’s something I aim for. And if something, or someone, has pissed me off during the day - I’ll try and get that off my chest. ldquo;Best-known for her legendary one-woman shows, Jo Caulfield is definitely the rising star of women’s comedy.

Yes. Recently Comedy Central released 3 tapes, with 2 episodes on each. The 3 tapes cover the first 6 episodes from, "Cartman get's an anal probe" to "Death". Also, they are uncut and include "fire side" chats with the creators. So, far reports are saying the tapes sold well and that more tapes are going to made in the future.

Yes. They'll need to download the 1.5 or higher version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/. No plug-in is required.

It is simple to explain. Hack material is unorginal, overdone or simply stolen jokes. Most comics write their own material and you can get further in comedy if you do your own original jokes. If people don't understand that, they just aren't that bright. If you have trouble explaining it, consider it a good standup exercise to try to get your point across in as few words as possible.

Any TOPIC is fair game for comedy. However, different circumstances determine the topics that are appropriate. For instance, people who are sensitive should see comedy that's billed as a clean/non-offensive show- and the comics who agree to do that show should abide by those parameters. Many corporate events/ private parties fit into that category and therefore the comic's comments should reflect that.

Alternative comedy is just another kind of outlet. The reason it exists and the reason it survives is because some of it is incredible. People must like alternative comedy to keep coming back every week or every other week. A lot of the performers write new stuff for every show, and there is a great deal of unpredictability. Alternative comedy should be a risk and is based on surprise.

A comedy class can help you get over your initial fears because it gives you a place to get feedback BEFORE you hit the bright lights. It can help you avoid some of the more obvious rookie mistakes, like talking about how bright the lights are. It can also help you get some contacts. So it's a great way to START doing standup comedy. But experience on stage is the only way to truly grow as a comedian.

We learned a long time ago that it was easy to get shock-value laughs with a naughty word or a too-sassy-situation. We strive for a higher level of creativity, humor, and exprience by not resorting to shock-level-tactics that would make you feel uncomfortable if you were on a date or if your mom present. Hopefully, however, you woudn't be in a position that combined those two people.

The brain and the spinal cord form the central nervous system. It controls walking, talking, breathing and digesting food. It is also involved with our senses – seeing, hearing, touching, tasting and smelling – as well as our emotions, thoughts and memory.

Marmite is so ingrained in the British culture that many comedians and TV series contain references to it. It is not widely known outside Britain, so the question "What is Marmite?" appears quite often.

This is more than just another Usenet group to many of us - it's a way of gathering important knowledge regarding our profession. You wouldn't think of wading into a medical group and telling doctors how full of shit they are and offering your own diagnoses, yet you think it's okay to do it here because it's "just comedy.

As you may know, Usenet is divided into newsgroups according to subject. Some groups adhere very rigidly to their subject, and you will hardly see anything at all that is "off-topic." Others have evolved from their original charter to allow a wide variety of discussion to take place. ACS is one of the latter groups, and people who come here expecting to see only discussion about comedy-related matters are sometimes disappointed.

At one point there were too many rooms and not enough headliners. So in order to put more money in their pockets some rooms decided to start headlining people who weren't headliners and that had 50 minutes of time killing material. Instead of hiring comedians who can kick ass but demanded more money. The audiences noticed the drop in quality and recognizability of the headliners and quit coming to these clubs.
