    I’m glad i found a video that actually gave specifics for how much you should be writing and that you need to edit on stage. Great vid!

    This video has some really great pointers about not being boring, especially in the TikTok era. I like what he says about people are there to laugh, not learn. This reminds me of Rodney Dangerfield jokes. He said he hates some of the long story jokes people went to.

    Even if the joke didn't hit you can't deny this guy is talking straight facts

    1. Set Up - least amount of context necessary to create enough tension so that when you deliver your punchline there's a laugh.
    - creates tension
    2. Punchline
    - releases tension
    Look at jokes to see why they're funny what's the set up eg. Misdirection
    Remove as many words as possible for minimum context for a punchline to maximise laughs per minute. They want to laugh not learn.
    Most people add too much context or put the punchline before setup and say you had to be there. Get to the interesting part.
    Write everything you can possibly write without editing. The editing is where you find the joke. Create a mound of words then carve a sculpture out of it. Don't edit a joke over and over again.
    Let the audience change and evolve the joke for you
    Use the entire langauge to convey the same thing. A simple thing. Use synonyms antonyms alliterations rhymes puns homonyms
    Write 10 lines of material everyday something that you can look back at the end of the edit and put up on stage. 250 words for funny story
    3650 jokes a year
    365 worth editing
    36 good jokes
    = 30 good minutes a year

    This was a great help. I prepared a 5 min material and performed in front of 2000 people and even though I got a huge round of applause still I was slapped by organisers. Sadly i cannot perform the set at an election rally.

    I don't know brother, the joke didn't work for me, but then again I suppose that has something to do with my disability. I was born without a sense of humour

    • @mdzaidshaikh1863
      @mdzaidshaikh1863 Год назад +4

      Sometimes don't try to pretend it, just be natural the joke and humour will come out of instinct, be with those who have great sense of humour, and the most important thing never repeat the same jokes again and again.

    Great vid. Whether one finds the joke funny or not is not the point. Some will find it hysterical, some will indeed groan. Humor is objective, if nothing else. But it IS humor, and it IS a good opener. And the EXPLANATION on structure is terrific

    Joke wasn't funny but the guy is so incredibly likeable that I laughed. That's why comedy is an art form - So much more than the words being spoken. Takes the whole package, and in his case, it's a very large one. (That's my time thank you so much you guys are great)
