Cover Stand-Up

 So I had an idea today: why can't stand-up comedians just do like entire sets of other comedians' jokes? Sure, some would call it stealing. I call it cover stand-up. Seems to me that it's no different from a band doing a cover song of another band. I'm going to line up a stand-up gig for myself and do an entire set of cover jokes. And if someone says, "Hey, you stole all those jokes!" I'll say, "Look here, asshole, I'm not stealing. I'm just doing cover jokes. It's a tribute!" I think it's brilliant.
