What if…?
What haven’t been talked about?
Think about comedy all the time.
Learn about new things.
Keep gathering information. When there’s an argument, just observe without taking sides.
You’re a thought machine. Every thing that happen to you is valuable.
Just saying the truth - what everyone is thinking - is funny.
Not going by the book gives you originality.
Have a manifesto: e.g. Being funny without saying a joke.
Make yourself the subject.
“I walked into the bar.”
Set expectation, then twist it.
I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to do.
Opening act #
Don’t say “How are we doing tonight?” because:
- you’ve blown the 15 secs to capture attention.
- you’re asking the audience to participate right away - which is bad.
