      Bro thanks for putting these videos out. I have been wanting to get into comedy for God 30 years now and just didn't know how to start writing comedy. So thank you for showing us your process 🙏 I for one am so greatful. It's not like there was a comedy class in any of the schools I went to. Lol

    Watching you from Cameroon 🇨🇲. Your work is amazing.
    I'm a Christian and I'd like to do clean comedy. Just like you, I don't just want to make people laugh but give them something that can change something in their lives.
    Keep going sir. God bless you.

    You came and spoke to my school… YEARS ago. Comedy is something I knew I always wanted to do. I just got started performing about 8/9 months ago and I am so happy this video popped up. Thank you so much.

    Hi Australian here.
    Ive been wanting to start writing comedy for ages.
    Really appreciate hearing about your process.
    I believe everyone sees things at the right time. At 53 yrs I'm gonna go for it.
    A local comedy store at a brewery in my town just opened up so I'll keep practicing and hopefully by next yr I will be ready to try. I'll go to an open mike night.
    🤞

    Thank you so much! This really helps!
    Two questions:
    1. When you say 6 months to 1 year, how many concentrated hours per week/month you work on it?
    2. Do you have a system, which you use to structure an one hour show?
    P.S. If any other fan has discovered a structural system for stand-up, please let me know.
    Thank you in advance,
    Agape 🙂

    Is there a particular program you are using or just using an email and searching through it in the Mail app? I’d love to find a program that would categorize things for me as I write. I love everything you do Michael Jr! Thanks for sharing your process and all the laughter!

    5:36 Sad that I tried the Impossible Burger (from a co-worker; I didn't buy that shit) & don't remember how it tasted. It tasted something like........a McDonald's cheese burger or hamburger. Remember when the babysitter took you to McDonald's in the late 70s and she was brokeass, so she bought all the kids HAMBURGERS. As a wee lad, I knew this was a suspect move. Or, was that "sus" ?

    Vegetarianism, etc.:
    Question: What do cows eat?
    Answer: Grass
    Therefore: Beef is a plant-based food.

    Hey Mike...I am not sure if you realize this but your opening mention of how you won't use your friends spilled drink in your bit really turned me off...I am not sure exactly why but I think it made you look above him and that is a huge turnoff for me. I decided to turn this off right at that point. Just wanted to give you that feedback use it for whatever you want and don't take it personal...just my initial opinion of your delivery.
