- I am proposing the creation of a new newsgroup called
- alt.comedy.standup. This group would be the place to discuss standup
- comedy, standup comedians and standup comedy routines. Discussion for
- comedians who now no longer do standup (either at all or as their
- entire act).
-
- I feel that the group should exist because I think that there is
- suitable interest in standup comedy yet there is no suitable place in
- which to discuss it.
-
- I prefer the "alt" hierarchy to one of the mainstream hierarchies
- because while I think that people discuss the subject, I don't think
- it's as discussed as topics in the "rec" hierarchy (where this subject
- would probably go were it to appear there). However, should this
- group's popularity expand to prove me wrong, so be it.
-
- Thanks,
