As popular as that origin is, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of accessible media of The Joker, before or after Jokerization, actually performing stand-up comedy. I am sure there may be some comic panels with him telling punny jokes on stage throughout 80+ years of publication, but I couldn’t readily find any via Google, and Cracked wanted a nice quick write-up, not a deep dive article that would transform into a serialized podcast.
The best and most prominent examples I could find were the following.
First, the most recent example I could find is Arthur Fleck’s first time doing stand-up at an open mic in 2019’s Joker:
I mean, look, open mics are a gym where comedians work out material, so sometimes you get someone who curls a 20 lb. dumbbell and still somehow throws their back out. It’s his first time, so it’s not really fair to grade him on this. Say what you want about Joker, but it got one thing right: Most first-time comedians delude themselves into thinking that they killed on stage.
