He has a good point, It really does help. It’s good to see someone in expertvillage actually have knowledge of what they’re talking about.
Good point about foundation Chris. However just writing jokes does not require a strong emotional point of view or foundation. Coming up with a good personalized comedy routine does, however. I can write jokes all day about any given topic just by looking at the topic and challenging myself to write the jokes. How do you do that?
Oh man. I always felt there might have been a gap in some of my act. I’m writing this down for sure. lol
Saw your page and wanted to say hey!
Oh I love this. He just explained the 10 year foundation of material I’ve been building yet never performed as stand-up comedy. Fun.
Thanks!
WHAT IS YOUR POINT OF VIEW YOU DUMB FUCK!
@trakomako try weed and a six hour shot! works for me!
@Trakomako u could become a comedy writer u can use your material and sell it to other comics just an idea
Tash: I never really get American stand up, though, I really only laugh at British comics.
Thumbs up if you plan to do Stan up comedy.

@elgrath1
You have to a stwong point of view.
not helping
You know weed helps too =D
I write it cause it’s funny
aha its true, chris tucker always started his sets with “im pissed off”
doesn’t this guy play bass for Ted Nugent? i usually show my balls through my zipper during my set for the first 2 minutes then i act like i didn’t know and act really ashamed about it and cry. It usually gets hard laughs (specially from the folks up front!)
wow..how short, simple, and profound.!!!!!
0:12-0:14! (clap)(clap)
I want whatever this guy us smoking :p
Very good advice
@IH8WRONGPPL Is it a pea or is it a nut…
WHAT IS THE DEAL
Jerry Seinfeld mastered the point of view of confusion…. Eg. “What is the deal with ______”
@GamerGod7 lol
if your going for live comedy acts, dont say that one if your being recorded or are alot of jewish people in the audience
