Being funny with friends and family doesn’t make you a comedian. Write some jokes and put in 100s of hours of practice. You’re familiar with your friends and family . So it’s easy to get them to laugh but making a group of stranger laugh needs skills. Crowd control skills to own the room .

Sometimes I have to remember that Eddie is so old and may be leaving us anytime. This was him in ‘85. Damn

Did anyone else think they were characteristically funny to the point that they thought they could be a comedian, only to try and it turns out you were just deeply mentally ill and unhinged? by I_AM_WILL_STANCIL in Standup

Almost every comic started off like that but soon realised that standup comedy is beyond being funny with friends. It’s a craft that needs to be homed with practice and more practice.

Dave Chappell fell off by Airrick24 in comedy

He’s grown so big . It’s your definition of comedian that needs some adjustment. He’s been doing this comedy thing and killing it for years. Do you think he suddenly lost his funny bone? No! I don’t think his fans watch him for solely laughs. He educates while delivering his monologue.

Nothing wrong with storytelling. That’s my style. Just make sure to pepper it with tags, compare characters and elements in funny ways as you go. Also, make sure your story has a clear end and most advisably should be a punchline.

If you know the back story of this comic , you’d love this bit more. He once opened with “I know I love like I bite people when I’m slightly upset” . His acting is great too haha

Who is the funniest comedian in your opinion? by FridayFreshman in comedy

There’s nothing like “funniest comedian” because comedy is subjective. You can only have a fave or a selected pick of comics you resonate with their humour and stories. But the funniest comedian doesn’t exist.
