Hi! I just wanted to say I've watched several of your videos and I just killed my first open mic last night! You've got a subscriber! (And I'm pretty picky about who I subscribe to lol)
Another trick for not being able to look people in the eyes is, if you wear glasses or contacts, don’t wear them. I did that and I was able to look at a mass of blurry faces while appearing to be confident.
This is such great advice and triggers so many ideas for jokes! I did another open mic tonight and it was the best one ever, I was buzzing, till I realised I'd not changed my phone from photo to video so instead of recording it I just got a photo of my thumb and didn't get a video to analyse! I'm still buzzing about the fact that it was my first gig where I didn't feck a single punchline up and all of the jokes landed and got lots of laughs, apart from the one about doing a gig in Coventry where I had bombed but I think I got it back a little bit by asking 'Too soon?' I was sick with nerves right beforehand but it was a great night! Thanks again for your great advice and inspiration and motivation!
@@LetsTalkComedy Lol how much do you charge per hour because I could really do with your advice! I bailed out after 3 minutes and I was all high-pitched and nervous and talking to fast! lol ruclips.net/video/0-4bioIFhhw/видео.html
GREAT TIP ABOUT ABOVE THE EYELINE EYE CONTACT! as a lead singer of metal bands shep gordon( alicee cooper mgr and my phone call mentor told me that in a FEW cals. great channel man my comedy persona is mattison avenoo. started on cable tv early 90's. and mic technique. YES dont cup the mic! with your hand inprtant good sound is very inportant in stand up if you know an engineer ( soundman) ask for their tips. avoid feedback. thanx again where is that accent from? i know a few metal guys from uk. but i dont wanna guess cheers
Let’s go this is definitely going to help me to get on stage!!! I really want to know how best to support the channel! I posted before about how to donate… I’ve learned so much from your channel and want to make sure it continues
I Can confirm "stage presence" tips. Context: I've Performed 5 times now. 1st 2nd and 4th I killed. 3rd and 5th I deviated too far from the basics that I learned in this channel (plus subject matter..). My GF watches me when I perform and confirmed that my "scanning" and desperate attempt to refrain from pacing was convincing and it did distract me from nerves that I was 100% feeling. Where I performed, with the lights you can't see past the front row, but the "look above" tip works when I scan the visible front row. Edit: Can also confirm the "joke about the room" section. Early on during my first set I did a joke that ended with "makes me sound like a prostitue".. since The entrance to the venue (although nice) was a bit of a "hole-in-the-wall" and The room was dark with a stage lit with red.. I said "Atleast fit right in with place"... In the top 3 biggest laughs of the set and it definately felt like it brought the audience on side. -- I must warn however that my 3 following jokes about the room were the only ones in that failed... more of a reflection on the jokes than the advice though.
Lol saw it in the description totally will go to the paypal and help out but first do I need a paypal ? Lol im so technically challenged, I blame my age
What advice can you give to an act built around voices, personification and references as opposed to jokes/punchline and pun, id be very interested to know
Thanks for commenting. I am planning more videos in the future. Just moved to Spain and there's quite alot to be done before I can commit to the channel again. But it will happen...HOWEVER!!! You don't need more videos. Get onstage and have a good time, you'll learn more doing that than this channel will ever give you. Have fun with it.
@@LetsTalkComedy I started comedy a year ago and watching your videos has help my sets grow and be better 3 months into it I didn’t know what I was doing but your videos helped me grow and build more confidence to apply to my jokes
I just got out of a relationship. It lasted for about 10 years on and off. We had some really good times. We had some really bad times… we break up and we get back together… and every time we got back together ….it was like the first time all over again… absolutely Amazing!!!! but I finally had to call it quits. The relationship started interfering with the rest of my life. Because we would have a lot of fun..maybe to much fun … I started showing up to work late and we would stay up all night listening to music or binge watching family guy… but it was to much I was wanting to be with her all the time … so I had to put my foot down and I made a promise that day that I would never date Mary Jane again!!
Hi Abby. I received an email from you on the letstalkmorecomedy@gmail.com address and have just replied. If you have not received my reply please drop another comment and I'll sort the problem. Many thanks
I think everyone at work hates me… at first I thought it was just my imagination, it started with small things, my lunch went missing, the wheels on my computer chair had been taken off, I didn’t even think that was possible. Then it started to intensify, one day they ordered 20 pizzas in my name, and I had to pay for them, I don’t even like pizza. They would call my work cubical phone and act like customers who want to complain on me. Leave sticky notes on the break room fridge saying… Hey Frank jump off a cliff… we live in a flat state dumb a$$ we have no cliffs… Finally I couldnt take it anymore so I went to the boss… and I said Mom no one likes me!! Totally got lost with this but I like the sarcasm I’m presenting
Thanks for commenting. It's good, but there's not really much sarcasm in it. It's more just informative. It's like most of your other jokes. Needs to be shorter and more punchlines.
You ever hear someone talking about how sh!tty there job is? Well my job is really Sh!tty!! It’s actually literally sh!tty because I work in sanitation! Do you guys know anyone who works in kitchen or restaurant and how being around food all day you start to smell like food! I would love that job right now!!nothing is worse then smelling like sh!t, I have literally lost multiple girlfriends based off my smell…and you can’t cover it up, I tried believe me I tried, but that smell just doesn’t scrub off! I walked around for 3 days wearing those car fragrance things that look like tress that you put on your review mirror… I wore them like a necklace for days!! I literally looked like the worse homeless rapper. Just came up with this definitely can do better but not a bad start and shows the narrative I’m trying to convey
Nice. There could be a drinking game, everytime you say the word shit they have to do a shot. That'd make for a fun video to send promoters. Wouldn't get you booked, but would annoy them. And that's just as much fun.
Thanks for commenting. My deepest apologies. Before leaving Ireland I ran into lots of technical problems with sound issues when I was editing. It really is frustrating. I promise to have it sorted when I start making videos again.
Hey, I’m a aspiring comedian and would like to know how, and if I can contact you. I am seeking advice in all facets, I’m a student of comedy and Your definitely a professor of the game
Hmm... professor might be a strong word! Haha, you can email letstalkmorecomedy@gmail.com I offer feedback of performances if that's something of interest to you.

"You are watching a youtube video about stand up comedy. You are clearly not a normal person" 😂😂😂
Did I say that? Haha, well I'm not wrong.
Miss your content my friend. This was one of my favorite channels for a bit, but I've watched it all lol hope all is well.
Many thanks for commenting. I've been back a little while now. Hope you're enjoying the new videos.
Hi! I just wanted to say I've watched several of your videos and I just killed my first open mic last night! You've got a subscriber! (And I'm pretty picky about who I subscribe to lol)
Absolutely delighted you're getting value from the channel. Sorry it's taken me so long to respond.
Booked onto a charity stand up night. Really helpful to know i just need to write and not always make up the jokes.
Absolutely. How'd it go for you?

This wasn't the one that went great! That one wasn't recorded, this one was an open mic straight after work lol and it didn't go great I think! haha x
Love it
Many thanks, really appreciate that
Thank you for sharing your advice. Planning 3 min act for an open mic coming up soon!
Excellent to hear this. How did it go?

Great advice for new and aspiring comedians. Thank you for sharing!
Really appreciate the comment. Many thanks.
Thank you so much. I just did my first ever open mic! Loved it and had fun.
Amazing to hear this. How's it going for you now?

Wow, a second comment, my lucky day. Many thanks.
I really like your attitude and the ideas you're sharing. They're helpful for any kind of stage performance.
Really appreciate that mate. I wouldn't advise it to strippers tbh, but I appreciate the kind words.

I think you've sent this joke in before. It's alright. Too long, just my opinion. I feel the amount of information would lose a room.
Not it tbqh.
