As bad as the pay is to stand-up comedy starting out, I can see where someone might want to sell their material. However, if you are talented enought to study a comic, mimic their style, AND write some funny routines, why couldn’t you do it for yourself? Plus, i’d imagine it’s pretty difficult to track down the big stars with the bankroll and get their full undivided attention. If I flop on stage, then I might stick to trying to sell 1 demensional written sets/jokes. I’ll volunteer to try-out material tho… LOL!
How can i tell if i have a narrow sense of humor? I guess I need to buy the program and get the REAL learning started. I’m sure you answer all of those questions and more in the course. If the written joke is truly only 1/3 the equation, I need to learn and perfect the other 2/3 of comedy so I can generate bigger laughs… Im on it!
If you can only focus on one thing like doing drugs or sexual humor, that’s narrow IF that is the focus of what a comedian has to talk about no matter how their set may be.
I think my set-ups may too long. Part of me stretched it on purpose because I am trying to fill hours instead of a few minutes. I’m trying to run, jump, and do cartwheels before i crawl or walk. Thats how i’m programmed tho. Do it bigger and faster than everyone says i can. I’m going to go over my sets and try to shorten the length between punchlines. Oddly, it’s the amount of single DVD comics that DIDN’T make me laugh that made me want to do stand-up. I recall you saying the same thing. I’m like ‘this guy has his own DVD on Netflix?!’ where’s my pen and pad… I got him beat!
