I had already been writing things down and dictating ideas on my notepad on my phone when I’m out and about, so I don’t forget them, but it’s good to get validation and confirmation. This is the second time I’m watching this videoto keep it fresh in my mind. Thanks again.
I’m not a standup comedian, more of a dream than anything. I’ve actually been doing number 7 for over a year now and have a ton of joke premises and concept that I need to actually go through and try writing out.
Thanks for commenting. Stand up is a fantastic dream to have. Currently there aren't many options for performing due to Covid however this will pass and you'll have plenty of opportunities and whenever you choose to do it is the right time for you. It took me a few months before I had the courage to give it a go back when I started, although it took a while I gained more material throughout that time and was even more hungry for it when I eventually took the dive. I'll continue to upload videos and do my best to get you off on the right foot.
Thank You soooo much. Your Template is helping me quiet down the 10,000 jokes in my head, and get them on paper. They were having a royal rumble match in my mind. Some running in, new intro music, one gets a 2 count on the mat, one getting thrown out, two throw it back in, then the referee joke, jumped on them. Thanks for "Being" here for us. Gratitude.
Many thanks for commenting. Really appreciate the kind words. Sorry it has taken me so long to respond. I'm back now, and I'll try to keep the quality high.
Right on Gary 'Get them laughing straight away' is just so important. I've watched many a show go down the pan because an audience didn't know if and when they were allowed to laugh. Honestly it happens, miss the moment and you can lose them for the whole set. It happens to the best of comics like young Gary here. If you're lucky there'll be 'laugher' or better still a giggler but don't count on it. It's your job to let them know that yeah, it's okay to laugh.
Thank you so much for this video. My name is Evgeniya and I am a girl from Ukraine who has always loved to make people laugh. In my country, comedy has started to develop very rapidly and wonderfully, and I dream of being part of this movement. At the moment, my desire to learn how to do stand-up is so strong that it's hard for me to sit still (I barely watched the video to the end). I hope I won't give up on this class as quickly as I give up on everything I do for more than 15 minutes. Thank you!
hey, nice to meet you. I started also recently and what really helps me is to set 20 min on my phone to write jokes and then mind just thinks about that. I feel I become more focused :D
Omg so glad I found you. I’ve just been presented as an old person the possibility of being a standup comedian, to make people laugh to make them happier to bring them. Joy is a way to make me happy and bring me joy, because I am finding myself at a fork in the road in my life, where the majority of my outlook is not happy, but the possibility of making people pee their pants, well that certainly will bring me joy and enhance the adult diaper industry which I do have stock in, but AnyWho I’m so glad I found you. You definitely have given me food for thought. Thank you so much.
Many thanks for commenting with such lovely words. I love your passion for stand-up comedy. I'll do my best to hero the quality high on this channel. I wish you all the best in your adventure.
greetings, I took at 6 week comedy course 15 years ago. I let my spouse talk me out of it. She said I would be away from the family for months at a time. Now that we are married 23 years and after hearing say I would like to maybe persue the thought, she has my bags by the front door. It's amazing what 23 little years can do... Great video, I'm inspired again. thanks
Wow, thank you for the tips! I love that you gave them to us in a fun, easy to follow method. I'm going to start implementing these into my daily routine & will check back when I do my 1st show. Good luck to all the other aspiring comedians 💪😜
wow, amazing tips, I found myself pausing to take my own notes because what you said sparked my own trains of thought. also the burnout tip is a great tip for anything in life!
Hi Gary! I appreciate the vid, really helpful. I was really surprised to randomly come across this vid as you used to host an open mic night at a bar on Brick Lane i performed at a few times. Kinda lapsed since the pandemic and now hoping to get back into performing. Cheers!
Every tip you have been giving I already do. especially with the messy pen and paper notebooks lol this video just gave me more confidence that i know i will do well! Thank you so much for this!

This video was incredible, stand up has been a dream for me and this video has really inspired me to at least try to turn it into something that is more than a dream.
Ive been wanting to do stand up so bad! Just how you said when youre out and about, to write down any ideas when you have it, ive been doing this for months and have so many good premises just not full jokes i struggle articulating jokes from them even if theyre funny topics.
Just found your channel. Looking forward to getting through the rest of the videos and finding old acquaintancesin the comments section too. Top stuff 👍.
Yes, very informative. I am not a comedian but am interested in how you come up with the script. I agree this is very material heavy. Generous of you to share .
@@tushargupta4262 thanks for commenting. To be honest with you I haven't actually read any books on writing comedy. I have read a lot of comedians and performers biographies and I feel this helps a little too get into their minds set. For me the most fun way of progressing was always to try out new material. I kept writing my own way and practicing new tricks I could add to shows. We all have our own unique way of learning. If reading how to books is for you then I suggest a Google search and get as many books as you can and don't stop to you've finished around 10 of them. Best of luck with it.
I am going to teach a stand-up comedy class soon. Really like the suggested basic structure to a 5 minute set. I was trying to think of an easy way to help put the material together. It is also in line with one thing I really want to do: help them to realize that, as soon as possible, the audience should somehow feel like they know you or your personality/worldview. I’d love to use it and also send them to check out your page.
Thanks for commenting Matt, please do feel free to use anything and everything you can from the channel and I'd be delighted for you to send them this way too. Best of luck with the teaching.
Hey Edward. Thanks for commenting. First of a massive congrats on your success on Tiktoks. I'd strongly advise you to perform 5 minutes of comedy on your first attempt. To have a solid 30 minutes of pure stand up takes years, there's no simple way to put it. If you must talk for 30 minutes and don't want to turn the gig down I'd recommend turning it into a talk about your journey on the Tiktok platform and perhaps take questions from the audience. 30 minutes for a first timer is just going to be a bad time for both yourself and the audience. The best and most successful comics working today take many months to create a 30 minute set. Make it easy on yourself and perform a short set they'll enjoy if they already know your style and you'll feel much better about yourself. There's also no shame in saying no to the gig if they demand a 30 minute set. There's plenty of other opportunities with the correct stage time that'll serve you much better. All the best with what you choose to do.
Thanks for commenting. Brilliant to hear you've got some value from the videos. There are a few channels that are helpful, especially in terms of writing. I'll do my best to keep the videos coming. Welcome to the world of stand up.
This really helped me to write, still haven’t done stand up yet, extremely nervous but this did help me write and I’ve been blessed to write a few jokes that other new comedians used… Joke (woman) “ ladies don’t you hate when u go out with your girls just to have a few drinks and some fun, but you can’t enjoy yourself because guys keep coming up trying to talk and using the dumbest pick up lines you have ever heard… this one night this guy comes up and tells me that not only is he well endowed, but he says is the size of the titanic, so damn of course you would give him a try but when you get him home and he unzips it was less like the Titanic, and more like the little tug boat that couldn’t!! Or maybe the titanic after it sunk!!! So ladies be cautious out there, take the drink but leave the D
Great stuff. Indeed, it's a nerve racing game, but it's so worth it. Don't overthink the funny on your first few times. Just try to enjoy it and take in the experience.
Thank you for this video! I have subscribed. I did my first stand up comedy and felt the energy of the audience. A lot of people then approached me and said that I was a natural... I'm gonna go all the way! :D
Just watched this first time seeing your video’s you got the subscribe liked how you’ve broken things down always wanted to do this never had the nerv and didn’t know where to start putting a set together hopes get my first open mic done within the next month or two
This actually cleared alot of stuff up for me, I'm kind of scoping out my local places and thinking of getting started. Thanks man, really appreciate it.
I feel like being a comedian is natural. Your born with it. Your born without it. I think it's the getting on stage Infront of everyone thing that is what kills alot of funny people's dreams. Me, I'm always angry and depressed and one thing that helps me get thru the day is writing ideas down. Like being a first time dad..and how dealing with my own son is like being a hostage negotiator..having to say shit like "ok" yeah your right buddy" take it easy ..take it easy bud" what do you want to come down off that slide maybe I can see what I can do" something like that.
All very true, and it's a nice idea regarding your material. However, tbh, I don't think it's something you're born with. I really think it's understanding perception. I feel that's the key. If you understand how you are perceived by others in a social situation, then you'll do very well as a comic, granted you put in the work. Now, it's possible that a sense of perception might be something your born with, or perhaps it grows with you through social situations. This I can't be sure of.
My pleasure. Thanks for commenting. It's all about finding out what works for you best. If writing isn't for you, then just find out other ways of creating material. All the best with it.
Tips for writing: 1. Schedule 20 min writing sessions 2. Write down topics of interest first then write jokers on them 3. Warm up by writing anything 4. Don't limit yourself while writing 5. Write about yourself 6. Use pen and paper refine on screen 7. Record ideas on phone Structure: Beginning : make it personal Then: choose bit and expand on it End: optionally bring in other bits
I typically think that you need to write your things during the day on your phone and trying to think about the comedy of things that happens in the moments you do whatever you do during the day - and write it down on your phone and that way you're gonna remember lots of things during your past life and you'll be able to add it to your sketch on your phone
Hey this was great, but wouldve loved to see you make a mock example of real time writing with the camera pointed at a notebook with a voice over of the 5 minute structure. The talking head style is good but it also helps me to learn by visually seeing what that might look like on paper as a visual learner
Thanks so much for this. I've volunteered to do a comedy routine for my gaa club and I'm terrified but at least they can't say I didn't research...ah cuman! ...I'm dead!
Many thanks for commenting and I'm delighted you got value from the video. I'm not at all bothered by the thumbs down if I'm honest. It would bother me if the majority of feedback was negative but it' been mostly extremely positive so far. There's plenty of reasons as to why a person would dislike my video other than the points I put across, the presentation, quality, my accent or maybe they just think I'm a dick. All perfectly valid. I'll admit, it does make me laugh knowing I annoyed someone so much they had to show it.
About to do my first Open Mic tomorrow! Very nervous, but excited to get over the hurdle.
I DID IT!
Congrats!! How did it go?

My pleasure. Welcome to the channel. Hope you get loads of value from the videos. Anything I might be able to help with just ask.
This actually cleared alot of stuff up for me, I'm kind of scoping out my local places and thinking of getting started. Thanks man, really appreciate it.
Thanks for commenting. Amazing to hear this. How is it going for you now?
I feel like being a comedian is natural. Your born with it. Your born without it. I think it's the getting on stage Infront of everyone thing that is what kills alot of funny people's dreams. Me, I'm always angry and depressed and one thing that helps me get thru the day is writing ideas down. Like being a first time dad..and how dealing with my own son is like being a hostage negotiator..having to say shit like "ok" yeah your right buddy" take it easy ..take it easy bud" what do you want to come down off that slide maybe I can see what I can do" something like that.
All very true, and it's a nice idea regarding your material. However, tbh, I don't think it's something you're born with. I really think it's understanding perception. I feel that's the key. If you understand how you are perceived by others in a social situation, then you'll do very well as a comic, granted you put in the work. Now, it's possible that a sense of perception might be something your born with, or perhaps it grows with you through social situations. This I can't be sure of.
Awesome content, I just had a thought that can anyone give some tips for stand up , then you appeared 🖤🖤🤗
Much appreciated my friend. Delighted to hear that. Welcome to the channel.
Thank you, man!
My pleasure.
I have my second standup next Sunday, lolol
Amazing, How'd it go?
Personally I'm really not good in writing, but phone record it might work for me, but hey thanks for bringing that up.
My pleasure. Thanks for commenting. It's all about finding out what works for you best. If writing isn't for you, then just find out other ways of creating material. All the best with it.
Tips for writing:
1. Schedule 20 min writing sessions
2. Write down topics of interest first then write jokers on them
3. Warm up by writing anything
4. Don't limit yourself while writing
5. Write about yourself
6. Use pen and paper refine on screen
7. Record ideas on phone
Structure:
Beginning : make it personal
Then: choose bit and expand on it
End: optionally bring in other bits
Brilliant stuff. Thanks for taking the time.
Thank you.
My pleasure mate.
I typically think that you need to write your things during the day on your phone and trying to think about the comedy of things that happens in the moments
you do whatever you do during the day - and write it down on your phone and that way you're gonna remember lots of things during your past life
and you'll be able to add it to your sketch on your phone
Hey this was great, but wouldve loved to see you make a mock example of real time writing with the camera pointed at a notebook with a voice over of the 5 minute structure. The talking head style is good but it also helps me to learn by visually seeing what that might look like on paper as a visual learner
Thanks for commenting. I got you covered.... ua-cam.com/video/X2j-G4WHoXc/v-deo.html
Hope you get some value from it mate.
Thanks so much for this. I've volunteered to do a comedy routine for my gaa club and I'm terrified but at least they can't say I didn't research...ah cuman! ...I'm dead!
Thanks for commenting. How'd the gig go?
Had a blast and haven't stopped since
Absolutely brilliant.

thank you. very useful!
(i'm guessing the 👎🏽's are established, professional comics)
Many thanks for commenting and I'm delighted you got value from the video. I'm not at all bothered by the thumbs down if I'm honest. It would bother me if the majority of feedback was negative but it' been mostly extremely positive so far. There's plenty of reasons as to why a person would dislike my video other than the points I put across, the presentation, quality, my accent or maybe they just think I'm a dick. All perfectly valid. I'll admit, it does make me laugh knowing I annoyed someone so much they had to show it.
Thanks for the info! I been trying to write and this helps a lot
Thanks for commenting and I'm delighted to be able to offer some advice. Best of luck with it.
