Sucks you can’t do it right now with the pandemic, but anyone who’s ever wanted to try comedy should do an open mic at least once.

Let me give you some background. I'm a Mitch fan turned Chappelle fan turned Louis CK fan. Then metoo happened lmao. Some of it could have been the alcohol but I enjoyed the s*** outta it

Write it. DO NOT RIFF IT. No matter how funny it is you will fail if you riff it as a beginner. I lied about my age and started open mic at 14 and did it till I was 16. Write for two weeks then perform

I had a similar spell towards the end of high school where I got through it by listening to stand-up at night while falling asleep. Patrice, Pryor, Murphy, Hedberg and Cross.

One of my favorite Joey Diaz bits:

That first video just inspired me to do
Something wild

His new special comes out on YouTube next week I think! I heard him on podcasts saying not many streaming services wanted it so it’s coming on YouTube

Marks hilarious but he doesn't really make new material often. You can find videos of him 6 years ago making the same jokes.

I don't like his comedy but he was a legit fighter especially for a guy who started late. He was never world class but be cracked the top 10 heavyweights and beat some very solid fighters. On the season of ultimate fighter he was actually a very solid fighter

That's virtually every comedian

Solid advice, I was gonna do so

Being new to stand up is crazy it's like making your first song ever and showing it to 50 people and waitin to see if they gonna f*** with it

thanks for the heads up

Link for special

Very soon

That's a shocker

Maybe they were low balling him

F***ing ilana glazer who is from an improv background and judd Apatow who hasnt done stand up in like 30 years got specials on streaming services lmao

Obviously they're big names so its gonna sell but the product is s***

I actually saw Ilana Glazer workshopping material for this live and enjoyed it. She’s funnier than f***ing Iliza Shlesinger, to whom they will not stop giving specials.

I saw some of her special and it's legit some of the worst stand up I've ever watched

Never seen iliza but have heard of her

Aw, that’s sad to hear. That’s definitely how I feel about Shlesinger, though. I watch it and I feel crazy because I don’t understand how any room full of people could all be laughing this much at this cornball material.

Tom Green just uploaded this for the streets

Mark Normand special was solid as f***. He's won me over!

Yeah I love his style, really glad it blew up too, almost a million views in a week
