[BradleyComedy]

A lot of my material ive wrote just comes from things i just see in every day life that makes me laugh then i put it on paper and exgerate it lol going to start performing soon just have to see how it goes, good luck to all aspiring comics!

[tatsujinMasurao]

[MikeWill2127]

[ghostrecon755]

[Torontoraptures]

just don't pull a kramer and you'll be fine

[94ejack]

Thanks.

[Sabre809]

All my jokes are angry rants fueled by frustration.

[JakesHomeWorkouts]

Good stuff.

[zacwashere2007]

He has a good point, It really does help. It's good to see someone in expertvillage actually have knowledge of what they're talking about.

[StandUpComedyClinic]

Good point about foundation Chris. However just writing jokes does not require a strong emotional point of view or foundation. Coming up with a good personalized comedy routine does, however. I can write jokes all day about any given topic just by looking at the topic and challenging myself to write the jokes. How do you do that?

[MrDodger5150]

Oh man. I always felt there might have been a gap in some of my act. I'm writing this down for sure. lol

[naturesuphoria]

Saw your page and wanted to say hey!

[TrumanTehSupraTiger]

Oh I love this. He just explained the 10 year foundation of material I've been building yet never performed as stand-up comedy. Fun.

[Alihisss666]

@trakomako try weed and a six hour shot! works for me! :)

[Koolnamesaretaken]

@Trakomako u could become a comedy writer u can use your material and sell it to other comics just an idea

[TashAndRosie]

Tash: I never really get American stand up, though, I really only laugh at British comics.

[Alexgt20]

Thumbs up if you plan to do Stan up comedy.

Very good advice

[IH8WRONGPPL]

Jerry Seinfeld mastered the point of view of confusion.... Eg. "What is the deal with ______"

[jckracing2]

@IH8WRONGPPL Is it a pea or is it a nut...

WHAT IS THE DEAL

[Anon5K]

Being angry is an energizer, for me. It makes me try to find some humour in the situation. I try to find a weak link in whoever it is ticking me off. My age and gray hair is great camoflauge for the real me.

[xist522]

what about current events comedy were someone does something stupid and you revolve around that?

[geoffdoor]

well i am frustrated comedian ...

[lookitspejay]

[beckydonohue]

A tie is what I like to call a dessperat attempt to look profecionall.

[Freedrzl]

Check out mine:

I'm not sayin Susan Boyle is ugly, but when I showed her a photo of my pet pitbull she said, "What? Where'd u find a picture of me as a baby?"

Is that funny?

[SaintCammy4444]

keep em coming

v funny

[MyOwnPublicRhode]

fail

[zyxon]

That was hell funny.

[JERRYATRIX2]

no really no

[ATHODrew]

I agree so much. I hate acts that consist of one guy saying a bunch of unrelated jokes in a monotone. And don't get me started on Dane Cook...generic piece of shit.

[zyxon]

I disagree with everything except the last sentence.

[osmiumdogg]

i would punch you in the face for being so ignorant, but i dont need the aids

[rarnd]

Lol, great comeback.

[GeneLightt]

Dane Cook can suck an asshole!

[adzug]

thats an insult to an asshole! cook had a commedy tour right? who was spossed to do the commedy? cuz watever it is he does , it isnt that.

[dormanbenton]

I have to agree with you. Dane Cook isn't funny. He does have charisma but that is not what I'm want to see. I want to laugh.

[madmartigan21]

Is this a direct attack on Steven Wright? There is room for various styles of stand-up. Not everyone has to be a story teller type comic.

[ATHODrew]

No, and you're right. I just don't like Dane Cook. And I guess I was just thinking of him and a few other comedians I just don't get when I made my first comment. It doesn't work for me but hey, if they get other people to laugh then there doing it right, I'm just not one of those people.

[thomasbannon]
