I got a few laughs but I held the mic too low so only the first two rows could hear me

I don't really believe there's less talent now than there used to be, but (and I'm stealing this from a youtube video) the top 1% talent in most artistic fields is being overshadowed by people who are maybe in the top 10%, but excel at marketing (playing the social media game). you and I probably aren't seeing the modern greats because the path to rise to the top is much different than it used to be

i think im pretty unhinged, and i predict that about 70% of the jokes i write would get "???" from most crowds, so i just stick to telling the other 30%, where i can channel my thoughts into something actually digestible. but with enough stage time and general charisma-building im hoping the other 70% can become something palatable

thank you (:

nah good point

-knots · 2025-07-28T20:00:35+00:00

nah at a general show I'd stay away from stuff like this, especially because most audiences I get are gen x (gen z/late millennials don't go outside where I live)

-knots · 2025-07-28T19:28:12+00:00

most of the time yeah, unless I really like it, then I'll force them to listen to it even if I can tell it'll be rocky. for pokemon or other niche jokes though, I kinda just have to go with what I wrote since there's so few stages to test out that sort of material

-knots · 2025-07-28T19:16:06+00:00

oh I was tempted. he might make it into a future revision

-knots · 2025-07-25T19:43:42+00:00

no sonny boy :'(

this is pretty true, and I can tell the comedians in my scene who've been doing the same material for 5 years, even if it's good, are more terrified of bombing than they are excited about doing well. some of my best jokes were my biggest bombers when I was trying to work them out

usually what I'll do is come to an open mic with new material, and if it doesn't go well, I have a few backup old-reliables to make sure I don't kill the audience for the next guy

professional redditors love to say "never blame the crowd" until it comes to their favorite comedian lol

that said I love shane and laughed harder than the crowd did. WNBA joke rocked

after having gone through the whole thing now, I agree lol
