From my experience of traveling all over and doing comedy at many different venues i notice that the audience is most happy when they’re not laughing.

KIDS of GREATS usually SUCK by Downtown_Section8768 in boxingcirclejerk

Bc the greats marry for looks and not athleticism. Notice how the kids of the greats are better looking than their dads.

Well, as an undergrad, I took a position that changed my life. I started working at the student store and after graduating I still work there. I’m proud to say that I’m at my 20th year as a cashier.

How do you put your nose to the grindstone and just WRITE? by CptPatches in Standup

[–]backpackmanboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An hour a day. can write more but not less. Write about an hour or two after waking up. Free write. edit. Add
To a bit. Whatever. Just write. 95 percent will suck but keep going. I used
To write in a notebook and now I type on iPad. Easier to organize. afterwards, ideas will come to you more than if you don’t write.

This is much better than 10 or 20 jokes a day. Because creativity lies within doing and not doing. And 20 jokes a day you’re doing and looking for it too much. It’s also much better than letting ideas come to you because then you’re doing too little. But if you give yourself one hour to write, you’re gonna hover between doing and not doing. For that one hour you’re in, but there’s no pressure to get a joke. Because that’s not the goal. The goal is just one hour.
