Find a theme and stick with it. Don't meander awkwardly from joke to joke that aren't related. But I have 0 experience so what do I know.

You weren't that bad! It was just the four tequila shots you took before going up. Love you, lady!

Welcome to the game! You got this, keep hustling until you find your groove!

Everybody laughed at me when I told them I wanted to be a comedian. Ha, well no one is laughing now!

George Carlin once mentioned in an interview about how he had to try and try before he found comfort in a particular "style".

Keep at it. Apperantly it takes years and years to become really good.

When you come to it, And you can't go through it, And you can't knock it down, You know that you've found... THE WALL. THE WALL. THE WALL.

Comedy is insanely difficult. The material has to be adjusted for each audience, and you can't do that until you interact with them.
Tivers
I was gonna try stand up, but then I remembered I'm not funny.
Derodric
But then I remembered the wheelchair.
PlatinumProductions
I was gonna try stand up, but I couldn't get up.
ThePerfectGif
Where are you doing standup? If you're close by, I'd be interested to check out your show.
iDigDinos
Good luck, you can do it!

Comedy is easy. Irony is hard. Go get'em, @OP
lurkinggirl
BOOOOO!
MightyGlowCloud
You've only failed once you've given up. This is practice!
smeeshsmoosh
All successful comedians have your attitude, but not everyone with your attitude becomes a successful comedian.
In other words, good luck, but it's also important to know when to quit.
SpecialAgentCharlesCarmichael
I can't imagine anything harder than stand up comedy...besides MY DICK. HAHAHAHA. I should try stand up. No I shouldn't.
ultradongle
Just heard a great interview with Aziz Ansari the other day. He said when he goes out and bombs he knows he is pushing himself. Comedy 1/2
Can become easy if you do the stuff you know people will laugh at. Keep it up, you'll probably do just fine. 2/2

I'm working on 5 minutes for an open Mic. Good luck, dude.
josethemailman
Everyone who's talked about comedy says you flop until you figure out what jokes work and what don't. Good on you for getting started.
Kronzor
Even the top comics try out their material in small rooms to learn what works and what doesn't.
dovebair
Very true. Recently saw an Emmy award-winning comedian trying out hit-and-miss material on a room of about 35 people. Have to try new things
When Louis CK toured here he showed up at all the small comedy clubs and even bars with comedy nights unannounced to just try shit out.

Keep working at it, and if you need an audience in LA you should DM me @OP
RegisteredBoobInspector
If stand up doesn't work for you. Try sitting. Hahaha don't steal my joke.
Unsupervisedadult
Goos for you! My friends say I should do stand up but most of my jokes come from just being an ass and people assuming I'm joking.
LoliJuices
Thanks to my depression I reached a point where I can't tell anymore.
Good* damn it
Vanderhugen
See I'm the complete opposite I make killer jokes but most people think I'm being an asshole
skincancerisfun
Have you tried explaining why its funny? From my experience that solves everything
I do or friends who get that I'm joking explain it but a joke loses its kick once it's explained
PanicAtTheCostco
Yeah same. People have told me to try writing and offered to proofread it for me but writing is hard when your more "on-the-spot" funny
StarkeRealm
Well, stick with it. It just takes practice, and a complete lack of conscience.
wwny
thedon89
I'm the same way, I can be really funny but it's usually just feeding off of other people. I'd be terrified to do stand up
I'm not really scared but I have tried writing stuff out and it doesn't have the same energy. Falls flat. But get me around a group of
People and I can have everyone laughing for hours
