  • Look at a stand-up comedian's routine and count the jokes and bits during 10 minutes. This includes audience laughter.

    Steven Wright - 30 jokes in 10 min

    Ron White - 15 jokes in 10 min

    Find a comedian with your pace - and then you can know how much material.

  • Alright, what do you consider a page? One or both sides of a piece of paper?

  • @StephenL3 your just slow. I was gonna say more pages is 5 minutes. dumbass

  • Theres no way 3 pages is five minutes, just type something up and read it, one page is easily 5 minutes

  • The person running the show. Usually the person who says "Coming to the stage....GazaStew!" and also says a few jokes in between each person, and signals you when your time is almost up so you know when to get off. Hopefully this helped you.

  • last 6-7 vids mention the MC? what is the MC exactly?

  • Thanks man.
