ALMOST!
"You are not acting the part of a stand-up comedian, you are very much you."
I AM, THANK YOU!
"Take notice of your own stand-up. Is this how you talk to your friends?"
GREAT QUESTION!
"Sometimes beginners come on stage with their scripts so tightly prepared it’s as if they’re doing a one person play. There’s no awareness of the audience in front of them. Even if the script is very good, there is this 4th wall between them and the audience and they don’t feel included in the performance, therefore they can’t relate as well."
I RELATE TO THIS VERY WELL!
"Stand-up has no narrator, because it’s a conversation you are having with the audience. If you were gossiping with a friend, it would be weird if you were to suddenly start narrating the events."
UH-OH. JK I AGREE!
"The stage is just like life, if you’re creepy (hiding things), people won’t like you, then won’t trust you. If you’re open, vulnerable and fun they will instantly warm to you."
WARMTH!
"You just have to be yourself, sorry."
HAHA!
"TALK ABOUT WHAT IS MEANINGFUL TO YOU."
HEY, I'M THE ONE DOING CAPITAL LETTERS HERE!
"Audiences and strangers in general will tend to think the worst of you if your position on an uncomfortable topic is unclear."
THIS IS A GREAT ANALYSIS VERY SIMPLY PRESENTED!
"If you investigate any topic hard enough, you will usually discover that the biggest joke of all is yourself."
