Doing an open mic night tomorrow for the first time. 😂 PRAY FOR ME
Awesome. No prayers needed - only preparation!! Have fun
Haley Boswell how did it go
Chrisophr Gonzalez yes - I’d like to know too!!
Guys! It was so much fun. Thanks for your support!
Haley Boswell hooray!! Glad it went well!!
I’m 16 and I’m trying to become a stand up comedian but i feel like I would be good and I feel like I wouldn’t but I’m still gonna try
Lol same, I'm the clown and comedian in my family, but I'm 15 lmao
@@jacdaniels4039 same, but im preparing to maybe do a routine in our high schools talent show for a chance of $500, I won't win but I've always thought of standup on the side
@@bfdmod Bro, it don't matter if you win. Point is you tried, and every comedian says that you get told no a lot and you won't win a majority of the time, so you just gotta push forward and don't let the not winning and stuff put you down lol. And yeah standup seems pretty fun lol. Gl btw
@@jacdaniels4039 thanks, I have no intentions of winning honestly I just want a good clip to show my future kids!
@@bfdmod Go for it man! And hey, you might surprise yourself if you do your best :)
I'm 19 years old and I think I have found what I've wanted to do with my life. Everything about being a comedian just strikes right with me. It's a free way of living. I hope to be even just 1% as good as you. Thank you sorry for the tips. You are great.
That’s great news. Finding your passion in life is amazing. You’ll be better than me in no time!! Keep us updated on how it’s going. 😎😎
if you don't mind,may I ask have you made any progress?
"If it ends really well sometimes people forget the garbage that came before it." I am a budding comedian but I'm living life by this quote!
Like Costanza said, “Always leave on a high note!!”
I want to hide my pain and tears that's why I am learning this.
This is the reason most of us are comedians ;)
this is already funny HAHAHAH
You sound a real laugh
Going to do a stand-up comedy in front of a huge crowd for the first time please pray for me😚😚
Nadeem Akhtar huge crowds are almost always better than small crowds!!
Kesa tha???
Solid advice! My biggest area in need of improvement is pushing myself to rehearse and polish with a timer on.
He DID put his best joke at the end!
Me: *wins funniest for senior superlative*
Also me: I’m ready to become a stand up comedian
Haha
I'm doing my first stand-up gig on Wednesday and these tips were something I needed! I have rehearsed it but clearly not enough! Thanks for the tips! :D
Awesome. Have fun and let me know how it goes!!
I uploaded my second time doing it to my youtube if you want to check it out, but don't feel like you have too :)
Hans-edward Jaque it was good. I would lose the bit off the top about imagining the audience naked and go straight into the religious stuff. Towards the end, you need a few more jokes mixed in with the message. Point out ways god is being an asshole, but make perhaps make them more lighthearted. “If God exists and is responsible for everything - that means he created the Kardashians on purpose” (for example). Keep it up. You’ve got a good thing going!!
@@markbennettcomic thank you! I'll definetly do that 😁
Very helpful for a beginner like myself, thank you.
Wait, paid in beer AND wings,where do I sign?
That's what success is to me!!
Thanks for the tips. I've done it some 2 years ago, when I was 19. For the past two years, I've grown and changed my perspective toward the world, learned a lot of instruments (music) - and now I wish to combined comedy with music!
Sounds great!! Love music and comedy. Keep me posted!!
I’m 13 and I’m taking my first stand up class tommrow, I’m terrified everyone’s gonna be better than me cause it’s 13-18.
Don't worry about it. Just relax - everyone is in the same boat and standup is usually very supportive. Everyone is nervous about putting themselves out there - myself included. But you're there to learn. You're not there to "be the best". There is no best in comedy. You just have fun and be funny the way you like and the rest will come. It'll be great I am sure. Being one of the youngest just means you have even more time to be the best comedian you can be. I wish I had started at 13!!
What got me on stage is the same things I can get you on stage and do very very well.If we can craft a negative story and I had reverse it craft a story in our head that is going to turn out well because it usually will. Fear , False evidence appearing real
Wow!
How’d it go?
I did my first stand-up few years back. I was extremely lucky with the audience and got tons of laughs. However, it's been quite long and now I've changed as a person. Kinda nervous about my thing, giving it another go in few days.
Tanay Sharma I’m sure it’ll be great. Let me know how it goes!!
@I'm here pretty neat! I mentioned my thing with music as part of the set, a lot of people asked me to try something with music next time. So I'll think I'll do that.
That calling in consistently is a good point I wouldn't have thought of, thank you for that
I think if music isn’t my fate comedy definitely is. I’ll give it a try! Or maybe do both!
yo i just checked out your music its fire bro 🔥🔥💜
@@lesbomarine6964 thats not his
So I feel like I could do comedy. Growing up, ppl would always say to try it out and I would ignore it. It wasn’t until I did research on writing bits - that I noticed I had naturally built structure.. which made me want to try even more.
My main questions are:
do I just try one of the stories out?
If they aren’t reactive to the one I choose, should I find a way to transition to a different story?
Or is there a technique to gage which story would be best for the crowd early on?
Sorry - I must have missed this comment. Yes, to answer your question - just try your stories out. Some of the best comedians are storytellers. If the audience isn't reacting to your story - I wouldn't just switch it up halfway through the story. If your story is interesting, people will want to hear how it turns out. Plus, if the end of your story is the best part (as it should be), then give the story a chance to succeed by finishing it. There is no technique to gage which story will work or not. Hell, sometimes a story will work on the early show and bomb on the late show. Comedy is an unpredictable process. So the best thing to do is to go up on stage with your best stories and let 'er rip!!
Just found your channel, already subscribed. Great tips and you showed me how to feel more confident about my first time performing (ie rehearsing the shit out of my set)
Andrew McFadden Awesome - that’s exactly what this channel is for - have fun and let me know how it goes!!
Mark Bennett
First of all thank you. It took 9 months since I wrote this comment, but I finally did it man! I tried to get on stage a few months ago and it took all my courage... and then I showed up too late to get a spot. I was so disappointed with myself, I just got hammered at the comedy club bar. Then later that night I got arrested. Not the most auspicious start to my comedy career.
Then this week I finally worked up the nerve to try again. I showed up an hour before signup to make SURE I got a spot. And I got it! Five minutes for five bucks at the People’s Improv Theater in NYC in front of 15 or so other open mikers. As soon as I got on stage, I followed your advice and got the mic stand out of my face. Then it was on!
My man, by my standards, I killed! My written stuff did okay but some of the off the cuff stuff did even better. It was probably just beginner’s luck, but damn do I feel good about it. Now I’m itching to get back on stage. Sorry for the essay but you said to tell you how it went!
Now I gotta thank you again for the guidance. Getting on stage is hard! But your advice made it easier and made me more prepared. All the best to ya amigo!
Short and to the point I love it
Yoda Gaming I don’t have the skill for a long video!!
Thank you I needed that!
this is sooooooooo helpful! thank you so much!!!!!!!
Pratyush Bhattacharyya I do what I can. As long as it’s easy.
You're back!
Another thing is to have fun. This should be a blast for you to do. Mistakes are most certainly going to happen at the start.
Wise words! ❤😎
Thanks Mark! I have just about prepared a set and my first ever attempt in stand up is in 5 days. Hope I polish it well by then. 🤞
Starya fantastic. Sounds like you’re organized. Let me know how it goes!!
@@markbennettcomic hey!! It went nice! It was such a confidence booster. I was expecting it to not be so wild because it was a poetry session where they put me up, but honestly it went very nice and people loved it! Now I feel like I can keep up with it. 😇 Thanks!!
Starya hooray!! That’s awesome. You must feel like a million bucks. Most people never actually start. You’ve done the hardest part!!
Amazing this is the best advice by far bravo
Glad you think so!
My son and I enjoyed this. Thanks!
I’m glad!! 🤙
I did stand-up twice at my university open mics. First one was very bad and awkward, second one slightly less so. The key is to get up there and start talking, prepare for failure and use that to improve the next time. The more you go out and perform the better you'll be. But you can't expect to be Bill Burr level on your first try. Best of luck!
Ive been thinking about stand up for a couple years but im finally taking the step and gonna try it
JadenFreqedit have fun!! Let me know how it goes
I'm thinking of doing the same thing. I live in Charlotte N.C. and I'm thinking of looking up some local places that does stand up and start getting experimental and see where it goes.
john flabbler sounds like a good plan to me. Keep us posted
Ive been thinking about stand-up too, but im afraid that people will laugh at me :(

Wish me luck I’m doing a standup thanksgiving skit tonight
Fantastic. Check back in when it’s over and tell us how it went!!

Mark Bennett -thank you
I'm wanting to go into stand up comedy, I was Inspired by Drew Lynch because much like him I have a stutter, and I'm thinking it might help me with it, as it did for him
Sorry - I’m editing this comment because my answer wasn’t what I intended at all. I must have been responding to a different comment and posted it here. So here is my real answer: You should go for it. It’s great that Drew inspired you - now take that momentum and run with it!!
I’m going to be attempt my first open mic next week after writing jokes for fun for the past 5 years.🤞🏻🤞🏻
Awesome video
thank you!!!
Great Video! Do you recommend any courses in these times in a pandemic?
Thanks!! I haven't taken any online courses so I can't say anything with certainty, but I know Greg Dean does some courses and people seem to be happy with them. stand-upcomedy.com
Thank you

My best sir
Man- I sent you an email at your website asking you all the questions this video talks about. Thanks!
This is awesome!!! Thank you!!!!!!
easily pleased.
I'm thinking stand up might be nice for me to learn, I've always had a bizzare sense of humor I think I could translate well on stand up.
Only one way to find out!!
Hey, Mark! I’m 16 and I’ve been thinking a lot about what I want to do with my life. And I think stand up comedy is something I’d really love to do. I know I’ll probably get stage fright at first but do you think I should go around and practice on my friends?? And other people like family members and what not? The whole idea scares me a bit. Taking a huge chance. I live in Canada and I was wondering, do you have any clubs in mind that would be good to start at? I’d just like to see what your view stands.
If you're in Ontario - I would start at Absolute Comedy. I never liked testing out stuff in front of friends or family, personally. I find it too awkward. I find it easier to just try it in front of strangers. If you have some friends who are funny and you trust them and they are supportive - you could try it. But myself, no one knew I was going to do comedy until long after I did it.
Wow that's is amazing
Got a 15 min slot for school performance, but by god, I want to get on the circuits
Keep at it and it’ll be a matter of time!!
@@markbennettcomic unless the performance was in the band..
Thank you 😊
You're welcome
I hope to either become a stand up comedian or a rapper in the future🤘🎤
Tough call - try them both!! Tom Greene was successful at each.
I’ve been thinking about stand up since I was about 10? And got sparked with fluffy,Kevin Hart ETC, so been about 7 and a half years and sounds weird but I’ve legit had dreams of doing my first stand up show BUT I have horrible anxiety and I can’t write out a script I’m more of a on the spot joke person
Jokes on the spot aren’t going to work usually at a comedy club. Try to think of your funniest stories and write them down (or say them out loud). Your anxiety will go down once you know what you’re going to say and how you’re going to say it. If you’re dreaming of doing standup, just go for it and write out your set. You’ll be fine!!
Tqsm
I have soo many jokes about him saying becoming Louie Ck lol
1.) Go to live comedy shows
2.) Write out a 5-7 min set
3.) Put your best joke at the end
4.) Rehearse your set
5.) Call into amateur nights consistently
Thank you so much for the tips.
I don't have a great voice. It sounds tinny and scratchy. Will that be a hindrance in delivering jokes? Am planning on my first gig in front of a huge audience in 6 weeks time assuming the audition goes well. :D
Satish Kumar P don’t worry about your voice. If it sounds different - that can be a good thing. It can add to your overall persona. Just make sure you you’re loud and clear.
Well think of Josh Blue he has cerebral palsy and is a very successful comic. His disability is very visible and he has transformed his emotional pain and anxiety from being misunderstood constantly and transformed that into great comedy. Basically it's like this trauma plus time equals comedy. If you get up there and you really like it don't give up
OMG mark your the best
SPBJDJ Cool and you are super smart!!
@@markbennettcomic 😂🤗
I'm 17 and am going to do a standup comedy on 31st of july for a school bidwell party 😂😂just bless me haha
You're gonna do great!! Just have fun
My best line is, “you know, I had an amazing week for once, then I woke up!”
haha
Thanks! My goal is to doa set on stage nice and baked …I think I could do it…I’ve had a fkd up life
I've never done standup before but I really want to. Thing is what I've noticed is I don't really have jokes.. I have funny stories where there are jokes kinda naturally sprinkled in to the overall story/point, so I'm not entirely sure how I'd save the best for last. I went to a show where Olan Rogers did something similar
Laura Swiftfoot just save your best story until the end. I know lots of storyteller comedians. It’s one of the best ways to do standup. But the same rule applies - end strong!!
Mark Bennett Yeah that’s good advice. I love Dave Chappelle but he’s usually not laugh-out-loud to me, he’s just interesting to listen to and has something to say, hopefully I can be the same way, but I very much want people to laugh ofc
I’m a 14 year old twitch streamer but in the future I hope to move to New York to pursue standup comedy/twitch streaming
Oh and also I have a fear of public speaking which is why I like streaming. Because I’m behind a screen just playing games and talking to viewers.
PriceyMango I have a fear of public speaking too. Lots of comics do. I know it’s ironic that people who choose to do standup have a fear of public speaking - but it happens. Basically, your need to do standup will override the fear.
Mark Bennett standup has always been a dream of mine but I’ve never had the courage to go in front of people and do anything
PriceyMango almost no one has tried standup at 14 - you still have a lot of time. You’ll find out soon enough if it’s something you NEED to do. I didn’t want to do standup - I needed to. And eventually that feeling took over - but I didn’t start until I was 24!!
Mark Bennett what I need to do is gtho of the city I live in
Hey Mark I've been thinking bout this. How if i'm training to put on random jokes on my conversations and started to get the feeling on em. Do you think it works?
I find that doesn’t work well. If you say some it got funny in conversation spontaneously - write that down. I find that works well. But standup is a different and it feels forced in conversation when you plan it
I don’t want to become a comedian but I feel like I’m a decently funny person and by following the steps of comedians/stand-up comedians, I could become a little better at coming up with jokes before hand and on the spot
Who doesn't love a funny person??
In Seinfeld, George Castanza was leaving the place, right after he make people laugh... This way these people were always wanted to see him again. So as a pharmaceutical sales representative I do the same to the doctors or pharmacies :)) And I think it is kinda working well :))
Thanks I'm 13 and I want to start-
I write jokes but I.. am not sure if it's good sooo how am I supposed to know?
2:39. Serious to be funny. But everything is a joke when it concern comedy. Lol. Comedy is serious business. Something that is funny is serious. Loll
Hi mark bennet thank you for posting this video, even i am trying out my first stand up comedy but the problem is that i have a speaking disorder known as stuttering so is there, if any, special advice you could give me and also i am afraid that people wont laugh and it might turn out to be an awkward situation then so plss helppp
Ikrama Baig just tell the audience up front that you have a stutter. I’m sure you have some jokes about it. Incorporate it into your act. Audiences understand and will be supportive. I’ve seen comedians with stutters, comedians who speak differently because of hearing disorders, comedians with cerebral palsy, and more. Just use it in your act and it can actually become a strength.
@@markbennettcomic thank you so so much and i will surely try what you said.❤
Thanks
You’re welcome!!
I live in Iran and there's no comedy club here. But I personally think I write funny jokes and I can perform it well. What should I do to be seen?
Thank you Mark
diary of a mad man you’re welcome!!
@@markbennettcomic i made a video with jokes and posted it on youtube then realised ive such a monotone lol i like comedy but i dont know if i can ever do it like you guys. But i enjoyed your video your the first comedian ive seen post such content!
diary of a mad man thanks. I don’t know how big of an audience there is a for my content, but I started because I did notice there weren’t any videos like I this from comedians. Glad you like it!!
@@markbennettcomic comedy is an under-rated art sometimes comedians highlight things that others would never dare too. Thats why i like it. Keep up the good work. Especially in these times!
I’m only looking at open mic as a way of expressing myself through my own personal crisis.
I make everyone laugh everywhere I go, work, school, the Army recuiting office (enlisting on Tuesday) circle of friends, when I'm with family. Everyone says I should do stand up or be a comedian for movies. I don't know if I should really strive for it or not.
You’ll figure it out. Standup isn’t something that goes away in your mind. If you’re meant to do it, the itch will get you eventually. Don’t worry if other people think you “should” do it. Just listen to yourself. What do you want??
@@markbennettcomic I want wealth. 💀😂
Mexican Lettuce haha - then standup is a terrible choice for that. Wayyyyy easier ways to get wealthy!! :)
Would recording and uploading my stand up set help me with my career?
josh griffith it will help you - yes. Because you will be able to watch yourself and make improvements. You probably won’t be “discovered” by doing it, but you will get better faster. So it’s a good idea.
I am 32 and going to start Standup comedy.
Good age to start. You’re not a kid so you know yourself well, but you still have tons of time do as much comedy as you want.
Is there any book you recommend?
Mimicry Addict I like the Steve MARTIN book. But I haven’t really come across many good books on performing standup. There may be some out there, but I haven’t read them!!
here is the paradox. I am from Ottawa. if i wanted to expand to other cities and my worth is say $50 a show as a newbie ( if that ) and transportation and hotel is say $300 in another city but I am not making $300 then how do I expand?
Ottawa is a great city to do comedy. Don’t worry about expanding to other cities right now. If you have a chance to go to another city and they happen to have a comedy club, try to perform there, but don’t look to go spend money doing it. I know it sounds strange, but stay where you are and do shows. When you start doing well, you will be booked on paying gigs and some of them will be out of town. It happens very naturally. You’ll travel with other comics and expenses are split and often covered. If the opportunity comes to play in another city and it doesn’t cost you anything - great. But for now, focus on doing well and the paying gigs will come and performing in other cities is a matter of time. There are situations where you may have to travel to another city to “get your foot in the door” or audition for a club, but these will not be paying gigs.
@@markbennettcomic Thank you for the speed of the advice as well as the content. These comedy friends you speak of is there a scene in Ottawa of repeat open mic-ers ? Like there seems to be at the comedy store ( I watch Rogan Podcasts lol) Ya pretty solo ind ever right now. My friends have traditional lives even getting someone to run jokes by can be trying. Is there a potential scene of like minded individuals? People who write jokes and skits and want to give this crazy thing a try?
Terry Booze Yes. There are many amateurs and professionals in Ottawa who regularly attend the open mics and the comedy clubs there. You will meet plenty of like minded people. I’ve actually lived in both places, and it’s way easier to meet and hang out with people in the Ottawa comedy scene than in LA at the Comedy Store. Jim Carrey, Howie Mandel, and Norm MacDonald started in Ottawa - so you’re in good company.
I’m 14 so is there any comedy clubs for under 18s?
Penny . G there are not many clubs specifically for under 18, but as long as you clear it with the club, you should be able to perform there. Usually you just need a parent or guardian to accompany you and the club will be fine. I have watched plenty of 16 and 17 year olds perform. I even saw a 14 year old in a Los Angeles comedy club. So just give your local club a shout and try to work it out with them.
I always wanted to do comedy n last night I got to did at a bar called ocp in Houston by luck actually I went to the restroom n overheard a conversation about a comedy tour n asked hey u do comedy he said yeh I said man it's been a dream of mine he said alright ur going up next lol I was like what I ain't prepared he said just go up if u seriously want to do it go up n I did n it was awesome I did 3 min n they asked me to start writing more n to come next week it's a start
Wow. That’s awesome. Sounds like a good story to tell on a late night talk show. 😉
Also thanks for your tips really helpful!!!
@@martingarza7442 No Problem!!
U think that was a good joke by any chance
@@martingarza7442 did you post a joke? I think RUclips might have deleted it - sometimes they do that if you post a link or something
I've been asked to do a gig at my mates reopening I don't really know what to do I wanna be unpredictable I'm not wanting to stick to a formula that standard to all comedians I'm gonna be and enhanced version of my normal self I'm just more worried about my first 2 minutes on stage,
I've studied comedy my whole life watching shows making up my own material and characters and skits based on people I've met and all my experiences of characters
parody 404 being an enhanced version of yourself is the way to go. It’ll be authentic.
@@markbennettcomic and that's how I shall roll lol
Yeah that's how I'm going to be I'm usually laid back and chilled out but in the house I'm fairly whacky so I wanna do that and be more animated and have some flair like a show man or ringmaster with a pinch of medieval court jester thrown in
Chicken wings & Beer? Sign me up!
I want to do a stand up comedy
I Eant to really try it here in londooon
Inspired Champion you totally should. London is a great place for standup. I have lots of Canadian standup friends who moved there for the scene.
@@markbennettcomic aww thanks for grtting up. Should i write stuff out or improv on stage. What that be bwd if i just go on stage without any notes.
Inspired Champion write stuff out for sure. Standup almost never goes well if you just go up and “wing it”. You can improv with the audience a little if they feel like chatting, but with standup, people expect you to bring something to the table. They expect you to have something to say. At its core, standup is social commentary / satire. And hell, if you end up improving the whole time because you get inspired or the audience wants to chat - you can always do that, but you need to have something in your back pocket ready to pull out. Always go up with a plan. Throw it out the window if you want - but go up with a plan.
@@markbennettcomic awwww cheers bro. Thanks very much!
I'm just trying to do a 2 min show for school lol
It's Eboni good luck!!
Good luck to you too!!
Im not joking same!!!! Omg we earned the right to each have a "American Idol"and I'm doing comedy.
When i was at school, i had to do all 6hrs..shit's changed i spose.
Hey mate can you tell me how stand up comedians get views on RUclips???
harry Kumar ha - I’d love to know that too. A lot people get views by putting up vids of them dealing with hecklers. People love a train-wreck. But the best way to get views on RUclips is consistency. Upload good content consistently. Lessons I need to remember!!
I wrote my first set and really enjoyed writing it and it’s funny as I write it. But when it comes to practice it, I don’t feel like doing it. And now I’m not interested in my set. I don’t know why
It’s most likely anxiety related to it. I get that a lot - I don’t feel like doing it or want to perform what I wrote - but for me it’s just a defence mechanism so that I can stay home and not be nervous😂😂. Of you book a show - you’ll want to practice it because you know you’re going up soon 👍
Hey I’m sixteen and awkward how do I start writing jokes and making sets I’d love to get paid in chickens wings and then the beer in five years
Quick vids comedy lots of time when you’re 16 - great age to start. Write down any funny stories you have, write down any funny thoughts you have. Then put it together like a high school speech. Also, I have other videos that might help as well!!
Mark Bennett ok thanks so much man ik this’ll help out a lot
Quick vids comedy eyyy I’m also 16, awkward and trying comedy
I just graduated high school and I just switched my major to creative writing I'm so nervous that I'm not going to be funny or creative enough I feel I am not going to be any good I'm 17 I'm scared because my persona is to be extremely edgy and kinda offensive but toward myself and I feel.people are going to hate me but look at peter Davidson gives me home I hope to be as funny as him because I am also messed up in the mind
Don’t worry about it. Just be yourself. My advice is not to be offensive on purpose. Making fun of yourself is definitely a good way to to go. But remember, edgy comedians are still trying to connect with the audience. When people get “offended” it is usually because they are upset at hearing something they don’t want to hear. Like if you say you don’t like religion, for example” sometimes that offends people. But don’t outright try to make people upset - the best edgy comedians are well liked by the audience. Always strive to be likeable. Pete Davidson, Bill Burr - they are very likeable. You’ll be fine!!
I'm 13 years old it's a school talent show might as well do comedy I'm screwed but pray for me 🤣🙏
No prayers needed!! Just get yourself ready and have fun. Let us know how it goes!!
Will do
I'm 14years old and a junior comedian. I always make RUclips videos. But my real problem now is to stand in front of Audience, I always have problems to act infront of an Audience. Please can someone help me resolve this problem? I love comedy and wanna be a stand-up comedian.

i’ve been wanting to do stand up my entire life but i’ve been deathly afraid of going on stage and i had convenient excuses for myself. i’m 27 and its now or NEVER. someone tell me i’ll be okay!! 😭
Dude, it’s definitely gonna be ok. Just rehearse until you can say your routine in your sleep. Then you are prepared. You can’t control the audience - all you can control is your performance. So focus on what you’re going to say and how you’re going to say it. Plus, it’s only 7 minutes out of your life!!
People have died falling of stages. In fact some presidents and dictators have been assasinated on stage. I cant offer you a promise or guarantee. You literally might be killed, BUT only you know if someone wants you DEAD! Otherwise, after 5mins, you get to go home. UNLESS you are kidnapped!!! BUT u will only be kidnapped if you are rich? are you rich? is your family RICH? if they or you are, then....i suggest you buy a yaght....yep spelt that wrong on purpose, cause i want people to think yoghurt.. thats just my evil streak ;) U will probablly suck, since you already doubt yourself. BUT once you fail, and see, life goes on, then you might be able to flourish. Think about it, my little flower.
TheKASINOINC Even the best comics doubt themselves. Doubt is part of the game. You have to go do it in spite of it. In fact, the doubt never goes away. You just learn to battle it!!
Phil Gross what’s the worst, a bunch of people you’ll never see again don’t like it
EmAn - Anything exactly. Do it for yourself - don’t worry about others.
Oh, my gosh
