It’s okay if you don’t laugh at my jokes. I’m use to doing show for deaf people … and wakes … and Pentecostal prayer meetings. I have to be careful at the prayer meetings. Every time I tell a joke with Jesus in it, as soon as they hear ‘Jesus,’ they start shouting, “Thank you Jesus!” and dancing and clapping. And I think, “Yeah, but I’m the one telling the joke.”<\/p>\n

I love it when my deaf friends bring a new guy to my show. They don’t tell him I’m not a deaf comic. They sit him in the front row right in the middle. And so … I start my set, “So, these three deaf guys walk into a bar and the deaf guy in the middle signs, ‘Hello,’ to the bartender.<\/p>\n

About this time, the new guy starts slappin’ his ears and waving his hands to let me know he can’t hear. I look at him and say (without skippin’ a beat), “Hey can someone get something for this guy’s ears.”<\/p>\n

The house cracks up! It’s hilarious.<\/p>\n

I know what you’re thinkin’. You’re thinkin’, “Deaf guys can’t hear.”<\/p>\n

Yeah … that’s why they call them deaf people.<\/p>\n
