One of the most frequently asked questions that I get is this: “What are the best topics for comedy material for speeches, presentations or for a stand-up comedy act?”
What this leads me to believe is that folks are looking for an easily identifiable “topic” or concept that already has some intrinsic comedy value.
In other words, I think that folks are under the impression that if they can “find” the right comedy topics, then getting laughs on stage will be much easier.

It doesn’t matter if comedian tries to “write jokes” the hard way or they go with the easier “topic based” comedy material development approach detailed in the Killer Stand-up Comedy System…
A comedian must understand line length and why it plays a critical role in writing or developing tight and well structured stand-up comedy material.

Here’s the first rule I have when it comes to showing folks how to write stand-up comedy material:
Don’t try to “write” anything. Weird, huh?
I say that because before you “write” anything, you need to have a good idea of what you want to talk about on stage. This is probably the most important step that is largely overlooked by most people as they sit down and attempt to write something “funny” from thin air that may or may not be funny from an audience perspective.
