This definitely depends on the persons mental health, especially anxiety which Mark openly struggles with. It might help with confidence to be boozed up on stage, but when you wake up sober the next day, if youre an anxious person, that whole past night is gonna flood your memory and youre gonna think way too much about mistakes you made or whatever it may be bc drinking + stress + anxiety disorder = morning anxiety attack Its also just way harder to keep track of whats going on and makes you less aware of the crowd which some comics like, but most dont bc the awareness of the crowd is what allows you to sharpen your sword but gauging reactions to certain lines in certain bits
@@HotBreathPod all day I wanted to throw up. My heart rate jumped to 150 bpm when my name was called. but the second I got my first laugh all the fear went away. I did my 5 minute set without looking at my notes and got a good reaction. It was a fast 5 minutes and didn’t even finish everything I wrote. Everyone after was so supportive and telling me where all the open mic spots are. I am amped to do it again!
I’m hilarious but it’s always off the cuff and improvised - so whenever I try to WRITE those witty moments, I get self conscious and throw it away. That & stage fright keeps me from giving stand up a try. I don’t know how to get over this!
Everytime you come up with something funny make a note, doesn’t matter if maybe it seems a little weird or even if you’re positive you’ll remember. Make a note and expand on it oater
Never have I heard a celeb, let alone a comedian that i am a fan of, talk about the anxiety alcohol correlation and how to work through it. Iv been dealing with almost the same thing, alc takes away anxiety, comes back 2 times harder the next day so you drink again, So on and so on. Iv been slowly pushing through. I honestly feel so much better knowing a successful person struggles with the same problem I have. what shows even even more truth to me is, i didnt think Normand was an anxious guy, he always seems more confident than most other people iv seen. Anyway, Thank you Normand.

Been doing comedy for a year and a half now, watched this video and countless others to study the craft before i performed for the first time, now i still come back to this video to remember this treasury of comedy advice!
@@HotBreathPod we really are! Comedy is a beautiful, dark, smart incredible art form, everyone is so uniquely different and has their own stories, and doing stand up has only made my life better, I'm gonna do it for the rest of my life until I can pay rent with it.
@@zacharynorton9796 Awesome! Are you in our Facebook group yet? There's a lot more helpful content in there as well. facebook.com/groups/HotBreathComedyNetwork/
Love these. More please. I'm 42 and have always thought about going on stage and making people laugh. I may never do it, but hearing these pros talk about it is really motivating
Wow thanks Brent! We really appreciate the kind words. You'd definitely enjoy our facebook group. It's a great place to find more comedy motivation. facebook.com/groups/HotBreathComedyNetwork/
I'm 49, my man you can do it!! This is my first year on stage, went onstage 2 times this year, its blown my mind wish I did it 25 years ago when people was telling me to do so 🤨 Anyways just about to do my third time on stage and locked down happened 🙃 Wish I started at 42
@@eugenedusauzay9468 i'm 32 and i feel like it's too late..lol ive done a couple of open mics ended up winning one where first prize was an open tap at the bar don't know if i should continue to commit myself to this craft
@@JJFILSMA 32 lol wow,i think that would of been the perfect time for me as early 30s you have lived a little and you would of had some life experiences and your not just making it up but i started a graphic design business then, to make a living, what i should of done is write and did it on the side at the same time, thats what id suggest to you my man and even if it takes 8 years write the perfect hour over that time and you could blow-up!!! at 40 and thats still young!!... i love it and have alto to talk about, i started early this year, what a time to start:( lol
You ask the right questions at the right time. Too often people drop "advice" that us far too open ended. (The "let go" complex. People say "just let it go." That's not enough statement to be an advisement. That's just a sentence)
thank you so very much for making this video and sharing this with us. ⚠️ the only problem with this video is that all the comedians who you interviewed, their names are not included in the description. it would be really great if you had a breakdown of each comedian who spoke with you and the times, because as far as I can see when clicking on the video you only list Cedric the Entertainer and two other comedians while the other comedians who spoke are not mentioned. You didn't list Marc Normand or the comedian after him, who is that comedian?
Am in Uganda, Africa. My audience is used 2 just comedy playing and not stand up but i wana do stand up. Any advice on how i can make my audience follow my stand up?
To anyone looking at this in aspirations of doing stand up...go do it...I had a strong year and half...only stopped because of work. But looking at this to dip in again...it's a high when you kill its a heartache to bomb. I always felt if you make the other comics laugh you win. It's all clique like. But still great time
Shit. After working for 20 years dealing with dumbass people in retail and warehouse jobs I always managed to lift coworkers spirits. At 35 might as well just give it a go. Who knows what might happen. Might be good at it. Like shia lebouf said. JUST DO IT. (As I sit here and procrastinate for a year about doing it)
Great advice man ! Just started comedy, did my 1st bit and im 40! 😂 just bumped into this channel & its helping/motivating me alot. Thanks for the good stuff.
@@HotBreathPod so sorry never saw this but some general like direction on how to really in this day and age get started as a comedian I’m very comfortable speaking in front of people so that’s not an issue
Hi I’m a Belgian comedian and I just listen watch this after a try out and it makes so much sence. It was a good try out cause I got above the fear. Nice advice!
I’m 15 and I’m an aspiring comedian (musical comedian hopefully) but I’m nervous to get onstage bc I’m bad at comebacks and I’ll probably get a lot of hate, since I’m a trans guy
I really just wanted to be the 100th comment. Great work. You are the best interview podcast for comedians, so expect people to be analyzing you like Schulz’s advice.
I'm good with words and talking Ive always been a funny and I understand comedic timing I feel like I'm just lacking solid good jokes I riff off people alot but stand alone jokes I don't have a lot of
Karlous Miller! He's known as the "sensei" in this game and for good reason. Here's my full interview with him: ruclips.net/video/pJLbHUueioM/видео.html
Sign up for an open mic, and as far as bombing goes, it happens to everybody. For me, it's reassuring to look up stories of famous comedians bombing. Plus, the more you bomb, the better you get at handling it
Expectations are the root of all unhappiness. If you have no expectations, it's impossible to be disappointed. Only rely on yourself and God showing you the way.
Of all the interviews I've seen with comedians about the inner workings of comedy, Mark Normand has the best. I love the way that dude talks about comedy. Inspiring.

I love how patrice o'neal said when he started to bomb he wouldn't try to win the crowd back he would double down and not let the crowd control him.
Tbh i always wanted to stand up but i am insecure about my voice it sounds raspy but i am gonna try because life is too short lol

@@HotBreathPod badass an will do
It will change your life and maybe even save it one day
Your voice can be your main stable you never know go for it
Even just making a podcast (that inevitably nobody will listen to) fixes that. Surprisingly well too
Doing my first set 9/22 and hoping to have my dreams come true.
How did it go man? I am working on a set now and am so nervous but it looks so fun
Thank you for this video. I started doing standup again and this video has helped tremendously. Keep it up man!

Karlous Miller
Last guy was nate bargatze
Why is he in a hotel room with Andrew Schultz?
Calling someone twice your age and a superior in your field of study “buddy” at the end is wild😂
Karlous Miller is speaking real truth. Beyond stand up. That is a life lesson that I learned that I paid for in years and in pain.
Can't see taking tips from guys who aren't born comedians when you could learn from the same book they learned it from.
Really great info!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Am in Uganda, Africa. My audience is used 2 just comedy playing and not stand up but i wana do stand up. Any advice on how i can make my audience follow my stand up?
