How Can I Get Started?

A journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step. The journey to comedy is more complex.

You need to find your voice. What are you trying to say with your comedy?

You need to find material. What strikes you as funny? Keep a notebook and write everything down.

You need to find your angle. How are you going to approach your audience?

You need to find a club. Where are you going to find an audience to practice with? That means open mics and as many spots as you can get.

You need to fail...a lot. You learn more through your failures than your successes.

You need to critique yourself. Video yourself when you can and review what went wrong as well as what went right.

You need self-confidence. The audience smells blood and will not be impressed by you if you aren't impressed by yourself.

You need to get up and perform...and perform...and perform...

You get the idea.
