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.

Comedy is insanely difficult. The material has to be adjusted for each audience, and you can't do that until you interact with them.

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.

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

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.

Even the top comics try out their material in small rooms to learn what works and what doesn't.

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

If stand up doesn't work for you. Try sitting. Hahaha don't steal my joke.

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.

See I'm the complete opposite I make killer jokes but most people think I'm being an asshole

Have you tried explaining why its funny? From my experience that solves everything

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I do or friends who get that I'm joking explain it but a joke loses its kick once it's explained

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

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

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Well, stick with it. It just takes practice, and a complete lack of conscience.

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
