Listed here are more ideas and pointers you can do to get yourself on the path to being a skilled stand up comedian:

Create video clips of your shows. You need to be able to go back and look at how it turned out. There might be things that you didn't like and may have to make some changes.

Were you moving too much? Were you speaking too slow or too fast? Did you talk too loud? It may take you many viewings to determine how you can enhance it.

Go to the clubs. In case you are not ready for the comedy clubs yet, start at places that host open mic events. On the other hand, in order to better your craft, look at other comedy clubs to find out how other stand-up comedians perform.

It is possible to observe and take notes. Eventually, you'll be able to get in touch with a few club owners once they get accustomed to seeing your face in their place. You will also be able to go with some other stand-up comedians.

Have a notebook handy when you're performing. You might end up getting suggestions to your stand-up routine at the last minute. In case you don't have a note pad, then you won't manage to keep your ideas. Once it strikes, jot it down if you have not taken the stage yet.

Don't drag your feet on getting out there before a crowd. The more you put yourself out there, the more you will be able to do your job. In turn, it will be possible to learn the ropes of stand-up comedy shows. It's better to get more chances to perform since you will get more exposure.

If you screw up, do not stop learning. Don't think that every time you perform your stand-up routine the audience will adore you. Sorry, but that's not the case. You can encounter what it feels like for people not to have a good laugh with your humor because they feel that it's not interesting.

You will see the looks on their face that say your performance has been a waste of time and they demand a money back. All you can do is move forward, check out what did wonders and what didn't. You can work even harder to have it right the next time.

One thing that may get you a name, which you really don't want-getting other's comedian's materials. Don't even think about doing it in any way, shape, form or fashion. Even if you're making use of the material with different words, leave it alone. Your own profession will become null and void and you will probably have bitten the dust very quickly.

If a promoter or club manager gives you a time slot, stay within that time frame. You might be overstepping your limit and taking advantage of what was just given to you.

That would certainly be considered rude, inconsiderate and unprofessional to go over your time limit.

There may be other acts following yours and that they have to get on when it's their time.

Even if the audience is not responding, that is no reason to get more time than you're supposed to have. Rest assured you have possibly taken your opportunity at performing at their venue in the future.

Be nice to your audience. You need them to be responsive to you and laugh at your material. There is no need to be insulting. Just because some other comedians do it, doesn't imply you have to be the status quo.
