As you look back at 2010 and decide what you'd like to work on in 2011, let me offer one resolution that pertains to your Stand-Up Comedy careers: PERFORM!
You will get better each time you PERFORM.
You will become more confident each time you PERFORM.
Even the nights you BOMB are helpful (more to come on this in a future post!)
This should be done during OPEN MIC NIGHTS around town.
As mentioned in a previous post, I would not drag your AUDIENCE to these OPEN MIC NIGHTS (save them for when you are PERFORMING a quality show: one that has all (or mostly) good COMICS.
You should look to PERFORM at least once a month. Really, the more the better!
So now it's time for you to get involved. Here is a checklist of things to do for the New Year:
- Sign up to this Blog and show you are serious about the Art of Stand-Up Comedy. It is free.
- Log onto the Comments Section of this Post and list the club information of places you've PERFORMED and your experiences. This will be helpful for all to read.
- Using the Comments Section, please let me know what you'd like me to work on to help you.
- Commit to PERFORM once a month.
- WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! New MATERIAL is always right around the corner. You just have to keep looking!
