It is hard as **** coming up with a good routine, working on your delivery and memorizing your punchlines. I respect each and every person who has had the guts to keep going on night after night trying to make an audience laugh regardless of whether or not I think they're funny. It's especially tough going back out and doing it after a night when you've gone up and bombed where the whole room is silent. Blatantly stealing routines that people have put a lot of time and effort into developing is unforgiveable IMO.

I would never agree its right to steal jokes, but if its stolen or not and its the first time I hear it and I think its funny I will laugh.
