A great comedian is not going to hold his cards close to his chest. He's going to help everybody he can. And he's not going to be insecure about anybody being better than him. He wants there to be more jokes in the world. He just loves comedy.
Man, I had to revisit this episode again today. So insightful with writing tips. You need to interview more teachers like this, who are not afraid to give up that secret sauce.
I read Greg deans stand up comedy book. It was amazing. I never thought joke making was teachable. But then I saw Jerry Corley videos on youtube. And I understand now that Dean only got it half way. In order to fully understand you need to experience how Jerry create jokes, like 15 Jokes in 30 minutes. I mean it is amazing. You simply feel that energy and he explains everything clearly. But no explanation can beat the practical examples.
I BOUGHT Jerry's book after 54:00 mark talking about creative corporate lead generation and using video. I'm not a comic, but I want to make more small business RUclips videos fun to listen to and get more brand sponsors. Fantastic interview.
I literally teared up when you said "I took that as an order" - you are such an inspiration to me Jerry, and I have only seen a few of your videos so far. I cannot wait for the brilliant education you are yet to give me!!
I am an aspiring comedian from India. Thanks for this podcast man. I always thought being a comedian requires to just sit at one night, write a 1hour of jokes and thats it. But today, my whole view changed. All the best for all your future achievements😘😘
Awesome! We all start somewhere. You should join our Facebook group to learn more about writing and connect with other comics. facebook.com/groups/HotBreathComedyNetwork/
I like seeing Corley in a more relaxed setting. He’s more chill than when he’s presenting 😂 I can’t believe he wrote Hicks’s “forgive me” tag! That’s crazy af
I’m a quadriplegic I can’t stand on stage. Started writing a book about my life being paralyzed and realized damn there’s a lot of jokes in there so I started writing jokes and soon to do my first stand up at a local bar.

Hey Jerry thank you for helping me with my career. I’ve been following you for a while bought your book and have been studying it for the last 4 years. I recently moved from Minnesota which had a pretty good comedy scene however I thought Vegas would be better. The wisdom and knowledge you share help me discover this amazing gift. Thank you bro!!!!
This is cool! I’ve been watching Jerry Corley for years, since he put out that list technique video with the Tiger Woods jokes. There’s a few jokers out there trying to teach comedy, but honestly Corley’s free stuff is the closest thing I’ve found online to a legit free comedy workshop. You can at least get a method (or like 15) from him. I even joined a webinar of his for free through his email list and got some feedback on there. I dug it. 🤷🏾♂️

HotBreathPod i tried it out on a few people , didn’t work later didn’t think joke made much sense either , nothing similar has happened to you before ?
@@tinocoll7961 Oh yes for sure. 1 out of every 20 jokes may be worth keeping. That's why comedians are on stage every night working out which material to keep.
I have this problem when I write stoned. Sometimes I get good ones, but I get a lot more jokes that only I think are funny when I write high. I stopped smoking weed for a week or so and my jokes were way sharper that week. But maybe you don’t get high, and none of this applies to you! ✌️
Why doesnt he teach himeself to be funny enough to have anyone know who he is. You can teach someone how to write a structured joke but you cant teach funny

This!!!
He meant you can't be taught how to be funny. You either have it or you don't. They're teaching you how to write jokes in a stand up form.
@@DaFunnyPages57they talked about how some comedians gatekeep their writing process. That’s what he’s referring to.
Jerry Corley is dope. Really helped me take my writing to the next level
He has helped us too! This interview is what we wish existed when we started comedy. So much comedy writing game!
What level are you at? And how many levels are there? also Is there a bonus level?
Man, I had to revisit this episode again today. So insightful with writing tips. You need to interview more teachers like this, who are not afraid to give up that secret sauce.

Breathing or thinking?
I would guess breathing
