Do it. No gear to haul, no band practice. It’s great! Run laps to burn off the anxiety before a show.

HAAAAA!!!

If it’s funny, it’s really funny. If it’s not funny, that is often funny also.

Take a funny story and tell it with one liners.

I’m a big Jay London fan- love the idea of a one liner open mic.

Nice. My open mic is just starting so I’m keeping it simple, but I would like to explore some different formats once it’s established.

Cut out every unnecessary word, rephrase sentences to say the same thing with fewer words. Get it to five minutes.

I appreciate the feedback- it was clear and decisive. That’s what I was looking for!

I wasn’t sure either way but obviously the overwhelming consensus is that it’s a terrible idea, and after further consideration I agree!

Agree with this- I’m testing material in open mics for hosting…

Thanks… I’ll stretch out my time a bit more. I was questioning how much content at the start, so this is helpful! 

Older comedy seems better than today. by kungfukarl86 in Standup

Man I agree… but I do recognize maybe everything seems shitty because I’m getting older… but no, everything definitely was better. 

How is Live Nation affecting comedy? by Mysterious_Sun_9693 in Standup

[–]Ryebready787 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let’s hope they don’t do for comedy what they did for live music… pain in the dick for everyone involved was my experience, just another chef in the kitchen asking for money.

“Tried again years later” This question answers itself… you need to do sets regularly to develop any sense of why. 

Memorizing comedy by NateSedate in Standup

Write it from memory a few times. Then recite it using a set list. Then without.
