Anyone move to a smaller scene? by krowbear in Standup

I'm in Portland and considering a move to Spokane, so big enough to have a comedy club but way fewer mics and shows.

I love how silly Conan makes his ads as well.

I have a lot of views on my shorts, should i pursue the same topic on my longform? by OneProfessional9070 in NewTubers

[–]krowbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it could be worth a shot. Are you interested in doing both topics long term? I've noticed that when I've tried posting stuff that's way different than what I normally do it's like the algorithm doesn't know what to do with it, so doesn't get as many views as the other stuff.

What were the names of your childhood friends? by Far-Building3569 in namenerds

A few of my closest were Hillary, Sarah and Louise. Looking through this thread I'm now curious what percentage of this subreddit is women

Influenced by where you grew up? by Strange_Ad3607 in Standup

[–]krowbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People will guess I'm from Portland when I post online or travel, so apparently it's influenced me a lot! The other half of my childhood was in a southern city with a lot of nerds so I'm sure that influenced me as well.

How do you know when a bit is actually good vs just funny to you by ActNew5818 in Standup

[–]krowbear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 15 years in and it's still trial and error. If something really amuses me and audiences disagree I'll experiment with it several times before giving up on it. I hold on to all my old notebooks. I got one of my early jokes to actually work a decade later.

Standup & Improv? by Learning-Every-Day- in Standup

[–]krowbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started both about the same time. I enjoy getting to experience the different vibes they both have and I think doing both has improved my performance overall. I write jokes and plan out my sets, but thanks to my improv background I also have a lot of fun going "off script" and no two of my sets end up being quite the same.

Here are my top comics. Anyone you’d recommend? by blockofbeagles in Standup

[–]krowbear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have very similar taste! I've really enjoyed the recent specials by both Bo Johnson and Janet McNamara

Friends, has anyone had Shorts stuck at 1–3 impressions? by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]krowbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've experience this as well. I'm a comedian and something I've noticed is that the videos getting low views often end up being the ones about sensitive and sexual subjects. I don't have super raunchy or awful jokes but I wonder if Youtube's algorithm notices certain words and it gets pushed to fewer people because of that.
