    Learn from Other’s Mistakes

    Noticeably, novice and amateur comic commit the same mistakes, time and again. Those old hands at stand-up comedies have most probably made the same mistakes and have learned better. You don’t need to go through it as they all did. With knowledge on what to avoid, you will be better prepared to do your stand up routines without a single hitch. Here are some guidelines to live by:


    1.Avoid Filthy Jokes

    This is one of the oldest tricks in a comedian’s book, especially in doing stand up comedy shows. Filthy jokes are not at all funny and a very effective way for a booker to cancel all possible bookings faster than you can deliver your punchlines. Tasteless and smutty humor will not get your audience to laugh; instead it will put them off and ruin your entire performance.

    2.Avoid Sounding So Angry

    These days, audiences no longer have a keen appreciation for bitter comedies. People didn’t play just to hear someone spat out diatribes and complaints for full five minutes of his routine. Try to keep everything light and funny.

    3.Stop Pacing

    There are a lot of amateur comedians who pace a lot. Unknowingly, you are projecting some nervous energy that doesn’t bode well with your audience that they will all somehow absorb too.

    RELAX. After all, this is comedy, no need to work up a steam just to make people laugh. Chris Rock pulls off the angry comic stunt impeccably and effectively. But then you are not him so slow down and exert more energy on delivering your routines

    4.Don’t Smoke On Stage

    Not only will smoking put off some members of the audience, it will make you look dumb. Try observing stand up comedians who smoke during their performance, whether its part of their prop or not, it only succeeds ion making them appear ridiculous not and funny. Smoking can also mess up with your timing; so get rid of that type of prop.

    5.Don’t Wear Crazy Clothes

    With the sophisticated brand of humor most people normally have nowadays, wearing weird pieces of clothing will not contribute to your comedy. It will only make you look silly and stupid. Besides, you would not want to divert the attention of the audience to your jokes just because they are astonished by our weird fashion sense.
