THANKS Jared. I've read many books on comedy, studied many videos. Honestly your books, audio programs, and videos have changed my comedy in a matter of weeks. Now everytime i hit the stage i'm an entirely different animal. I'm getting applause breaks, people asking me when i'm performing again, big comedians recommending me ... I've only been doing this 4 months! Thank you so much, i will spread the word.
+Sean Philippe Thanks. I'll be coming out with more creativity training in late March. If you like Faster & Funnier and Creativity For Comedians, the new stuff will blow your mind. I'll be making the big announcement in late March
SeanP what are some good books you read b/c I would like to get in stand up comedy for fun purposes
+Sean P how's your stand up doing?
My favorites have always been autobiographies. They give you a really good feel for what its actually like without trying to push crazy formulas and stuff. Check out Born Standing Up by Steve Martin.
theres no way you were able to do that in 4 months. I've been doing stand up for over a year now.. stand up is one of those things that the only way to get more conditioned as a professional is to keep doing it. 4 months!??!?!? thats insane. any comedian would think you're ludacris if they heard that
I have the article open in my phone browser. I never close it, and refer often. Finally watching the video. Has helped me level up in the craft. Thank you.
Thank you for making this video! So on point! :)
Jared thank you so much. This video was super helpful! You Rock dude:)
I must say though, you did a great job on this all... I was taking notes! Thanks for the help.
Thank you so much! It's one of my dream jobs to be a great stand up comedian and hopefully these tips will help.
This was very helpful, thanks. A lot of it confirmed what I already suspected, and I’ve already incorporated in my fledgling standup, over the past five months. Writing a new set for each month. But it’s good to know. I’m on the right track. Now I just need a lot more stage time. Thanks again.
This video was very insightful!! Thank you!
bro this really helps me alot. thanks for decent info.
bless you from the other side of the planet.
I was bursting with laughter within the first ten seconds of this video, man this guy is a comedian I swear!
THANK YOU Jared! My very first on stage open mic went over extremely well, and I had plateaued and actually went backwards with the amount of big laughs I was getting. I wonder where I went wrong, but after watching this video I realized that I took away my uniqueness to focus on my fundamentals and took a different approach to writing my jokes.
How long have you been performing? If you want to go deeper, you can check out Faster & Funnier or Playfully Inappropriate. FNF is better for new comedians, Playfully Inappropriate is great if you're looking to use comedic storytelling. Both have a lot of focus on uniqueness.
there are people who are gifted ... when you look at them you just laugh
it has helped me alot and i love the website
Thanks for the video
this video is underrated. this changed my entire perspective.
Hi Jared
I'm so impressed with your explanations and clarifications.
I just want to start my own comedy group, ie, I wanna bring together like 5 comedians train them and start our daily shows in our City. Please advise me on what important things should I focus on before bringing them together?
This is a great video man. Have you considered making a video about the social aspect of stand up comedy? How the comics relate to each other. Networking, business and promotion. I find those aspects much more difficult to deal w than the actual performance end of it. Thanks again.
thanks for this video. I plan on seeing my potential during open mic nights soon. write write write
wow this was a mba video for stand up comedians , thanks
Straight up this guy is LEGIT ! Playfully Inappropriate is completely changing my material !
W@W Jared, you have great ideas
+kirkland meadows I appreciate your compliment... though I can't take full credit. This video summarizes the research of those that are much smarter than me. I'm only trying to bridge the gap between creativity research and application of my love of stand-up comedy. My comedy career was a constant struggle before I started applying creativity strategies to my writing and performances. Then the whole game changed.
Good work
Ur really gud man thnkx
Heck of a lesson and I swear to God Jared didn't pay me to say that.

And your success in stand up comedy or comedy writing is where? :/
Really good advice, I feel more capable of writing this way. Due to the pandemic all open mics in my area are closed, any advice on what I could do to begin my stand up career in the meantime?
Study great comedy. It's easy to do on RUclips and Netflix. For learning how to write, I'd suggest reading Playfully Inappropriate.
@@DrewVolle Thanks for replying! During this time at home I have been watching comedy specials, listening to podcasts interviewing comedians, reading books, including yours, and I have even started writing some bits. I was ready to go on my first open mic but the pandemic hit and now im stuck:(. What im wondering is how can i get comedy experience during this time. Comedy clubs wont be open for many more months, so no matter how many jokes I write I cant test them in front of a live audience. In your opinion, what should I do?
@@camilomanjarres1903 There's no much you can do if there aren't any stages to get on. I've been working on different projects. It's a good time to write sketches or other forms of comedy that don't require a live audience. It'll still make you a better comedian, since comedy writing in different genres is very similar. You can't get good at writing sketches without also improving your stand-up. It doesn't have to be sketch, but I think sketch is the closest to what would help you improve as a comedian. Personally, I've spent my time learning how to code and designing a video game that I've wanted to produce for a long time. There are tons of opportunities. If there's no stage time, find another one that inspires you.
At 1:40 its math I didn’t not sign up for math summers hear
this was very helpful. .however i am terrible at math Jared 😆😆
You should see my dating formula...
Lol you should not need a formula 😊
Sociallyunacceptable B im pretty sure his dating formula is CHCI3
Really great stuff. However, still, i cant help but wonder: Is today's comedy world really ready for radical uniqueness? There just seems to be such a focus nowadays on fundaments, that i seriously wonder if a Kauffman or a Martin would be able to get gigs today.
I don't see radical uniqueness as the most important factor anymore. Most of the genres are already set by this point. For me, I see uniqueness as finding your comedic voice and tapping authenticity. It's about finding how YOU want to relate to the audience. That is your uniqueness. From there, comedians need to learn how to be effective within that framework. How similar you are to other comedians will determine how many of the generic rules you can apply to your own style. That's the trade-off that every comedian needs to make. The most radical comedians take a long time to get proficient because they have to build the rules from scratch. But most comedians will find some type of trade-off.
I did my first gig last weekend in front of an audience of 1. who for the record had smoked weed for her first time ever in Hawaii. It was in the lobby of a hotel. I was completely smashed, and the lobby was empty except for me and this woman. I did a bit about how the universe is 90billion light years wide, and if we spent the next billion years of science learning how to bend space time. It would still be faster than driving. by about the 9th power. She didn't get the joke, but told me after the show she was really engaged, and was probably too high to laugh. I realized I was in the wrong hotel and then checked in to mine. You are welcome.
I really want more vedios
+Shore Funny I've recorded 8 1/2 hours of creativity videos in the past 2 weeks... oh, you'll get some more videos alright :)
+Jared Volle thanks add me on Facebook
Question! So since you got this figured out, how come I haven't heard of you? Not bashing you or nothing, and i do think you know what are talking about, but just really giving you credit in a sense. I know things dont happen over night, so i may see you or hear of you one day.
I'm a beginner as you know. I'm just past the stage fright stage. I'm barely getting acquainted with what makes funny from the cookie cutter formula of Premise, Setup, punchline. I'm experimenting with my comic voice. I can do it sometimes without writing it out to make the funny. I need a lot of practice. I don't think my perspective is unique.
Understanding the cookie-cutter method is an important first step. This video is about realizing that there's a vast world that lies beyond what's already been done. Even as a new comedian, you want to be staying open to new ideas and experiments. That's what allows your comedy to evolve towards uniqueness. Master the principles of cookie-cutter comedy, but then move beyond it.
Thanks
I skipped the video from the beginning to the middle and I thought we were talking about rock science or the formula to cocaine.
Rocket science not rock or actually......you know yeah never mind.
Thanks for your video! Do these tips actually help a comedian start getting paid? Will a booker look for the comedian if he is unique and has good material? I heard in one of the workshops I took that the only way to make money doing comedy is selling tickets. I also see some other comedians online teaching people how to be more successful how to do this and that... I do want to get better but also make some money from it.
If you are not original and yourself in anything in life, then there is no point to even your existence. This is the sad fact of why so many people are miserable and why the entertainment industry has become garbage imo. BTW it is really hard to be unique when you are a young person. Without age and maturity you usually just don't have the life experience to be interesting.
greenguy4u everyone isn’t a creative type. Not everyone needs to be or wants to be original. They just want to be the peg that will fit in the hole they’re placed without commotion
Great story and than only 1 in 60 likes? Too many don't get it...
Big-C creativity like it!! Let me know what you think of some of the stuff I posted.
I must add that there are likely people who are the Mozart, Michael Jackson, Da Vinci's of the craft. Born to do it and it is innate. Also not undermining the requirements to be accepted into Hollywood level status.
Mozart was plaining the piano from 3 years old. His father was a composer. Nothing innate about his piano playing. His early works were absolutely awful.
This is some deep left brain shit...I hate it...but it's adaptable
good video but it seems like this is just. don't be a hack.
