To anyone who wants to be a comedian, like myself. Go big or go home. You know inside yourself if you can do it or not. Just because people laugh at you Guz does not mean that they are laughing at everyone else as well.

It takes practice yes and starting out in small clubs is a good idea, but if you have the dream reach for it.

And too Harmony, you wish to know how to come up with original material. I can give you a few pointers on how I like to do it. Its quite simple really. Well it works for me. When im watching t.v. I sit down with my lab top and listen for Key Words or Phrases that spark my interest and write them down whatever im thinking at the time. You will not write gems everytime but I assure you for every 10 crappy jokes you right you will right one that even makes yourself laugh.

The trick to making people laugh is not trying. All you have to be is yourself. People laugh to make themselves feel good, so try and find the subject that you have the hardest time with. For example if your down about money talk about money, if your down about sex talk about sex. Try and make yourself feel good and you will find other following

Thank you so much! X

ill tell you sonething like dont be bothered reading it if you dont wanna

im a year seven, right, and our whole class had to present an argument about the three little pigs story and we had to argue why the wolf was innocent. when it was my turn to present, i was shitting myself, but i walked up there , in front of the class and presented my speech, with my hands shaking. as soon as i started talking i was very nervous, anxious and kept thinking that no one would understand my style of comedy and my blue comedy jokes and i thought that no one would laugh. about 20 seconds into my speech everyone was laughing at what i had said, and they all laughed throught my whole speech! I was no longer anxious or scared. even my teacher laughed! it felt like i had complete power over the whole audience, which was a group of 19 students.

later on that day, our whole class had a spelling test with the words, ‘novelist’ and ‘comedian’

i write in comedy and most people know me as a comic writer and stand up which is awesome haha

my teacher called out the word “novelist” and he said, “i know some girls in this class who could be famous novelists”

i wrote a story about a convict girl in the best humour i could do and i achieved full marks.

then he called out the word ‘comedian’ and said “there is one girl in aprticular who is a comedian in this class” and i assume he was talking about me

SHARE your TALENTS with the world and GO FOR IT and believe that you CAN DO IT

now, if you have anxiety dont let it stand in the way of what you want to be, dont think that you cant do it because im pretty sure you can!
my comedy talent helped me recover from my depression and anxiety because as i made lots of people laugh, the more they wanted to be my friend, lots of people are starting to see that shiny spark in me and start to take in all of my great talents like, music, art and writing and stand up comedy and they love it.

once youre up there performing, [if people laugh, which they should! but you need to believe that you can do it, you need to make and believe that people will me amused] you will feel comfortable and confident to keep going on.

im being honest, a stand up comedy performance wont work if you dont think youre cut up to do it.

if you think negitave the audience probably will too and you dont want that, thats horrible.

but if you believe that you CAN perform an audience-pissing-themself-laughing-at-your-stand-up-comedy-speech then the audience is bound to laugh, and if they laught at you its great fun to laugh with them and aknowledge your fab talent.

i think that if you wanna be a stand up comedian, you have to use your talent in your own unique way and style. make the crowd laugh, and at no point at all should you be negitave and think “i cant do it” because you sure as hell can.
