MORE RESEARCH [stand up comedy BLOGRMAGE: DAY 6]
Today was not too eventful or exciting. For today's challenge, I continued to research (watch other stand up comics) and write a little bit. Trying to write comedy like the people I see is a bit challenging. What material works and what doesn't s kind of a mystery. Hopefully I'll find out before I try entertain a crowd.
As I research, I'm acknowledging that there are many different styles. Joe Wong (the comedian I posted in the video above) is so unique. He's comfortable in his own skin, timing and content. Yet, his unorthodox material works.
A five minute set is not long at all. If I start off poorly, though, it will be very long. Tomorrow, I hope to attend an amateur night. I don't plan on competing but who knows what could happen.
