Hi Glenn,
I LIKE that angle on stand-up comedy!
You're right... comedy doesn't work if people can't relate to it...
So every successful comedian has to have jokes that their audience can relate to!
And yeah... we can use that for inspiration on TOPICS to write about...
I'm definitely gonna USE THIS GREAT TIP!
For the opposite side of the coin...
Here's Steve Martin's joke for plumbers (which you may like)! Here he's making fun of exactly what we're talking about!

This is such good advice, Glenn!
Best wishes, Dien

On a Lark.
After Making some Notes.
Jerry Gets up on Stage And Everything He Wrote Down and Says on Stage
KILLS.
Massive Laughter.
Huge Applause.
Wave After Wave of POSITIVE EMOTION.
Jerry is Hooked.
And Does Stand Up for the Next 50 Years.
Is STILL doing Standup Comedy.
And in his Best Selling Book, "Is This Anything?"
Jerry Seinfeld has published every single Successful Joke he has Delivered on stage.
Every joke over his entire career.
ODD Thing about these Jokes.
They are all In NICHES.
Sales Niches.
Marketing Niches.
Niched areas in Millions of Lives We ALL SHARE and Have Memories about.
Niches We Can WRITE about
and Be Confident To GET READ.
Because EVERYBODY Else has Similar Memories.
So.
Writers Block?
FOOEY.
Even if You Don't Find Jerry Seinfeld Funny His Published Jokes Can Save You
Time and Effort finding PROVEN TOPICS to Write About.
FREE too.
Go to a Local Library and Check it out.
Thanks,
Glenn
