You've got a good presence and are immediately likable when you come onto the stage. So the question begs to be asked, why are these sets not going well for you?<br /><br />Your nerves on stage are going to make you or break you. It's important that you NOT CARE about whether you fail or succeed. If a joke bombs, fuck it, move on. If an entire set bombs, this is not an indication of whether you are good or not. Forget about success, forget about what the audience thinks. Just get up there and tell your jokes confidently. What is most important is that you just be you.<br /><br />When a joke bombs, you are listening to the lack of laughter in the room, when you should be making a mental check, "Gotta work on that delivery", or "Maybe reconsider the punchline on that one". <br /><br />Remember, the objective is to be funny. And that's it. Nothing else matters. A single set won't make or break you, so relax. Don't try too hard.<br /><br />Before you go on stage every time, tell yourself: "Fuck it, if I bomb then I bomb, so why should I care?" Take a deep breath, relax and walk on stage and just tell your jokes. <br /><br />Good luck, you are going to be great.The Unknown Prohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06075964760449519043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15835559.post-29233360970221984272010-08-25T08:49:09.635-07:002010-08-25T08:49:09.635-07:00You weren't that bad! :] good job.
