Opie's tit juice is the elixir of comedy though. Was it a coincidence that all the comedians that went on their show had their careers go so well? They were secretly getting their fill of Opie's tit juice. Patrice couldnt help himself and drank too much and I don't need to tell you what happened next

I'm wondering the same thing.

What's the best format of comedy writing to begin with if I don't plan on performing it in any way myself? I want to see if I can produce something funny but I've found that I'm funnier through text or ideas than when actually talking or performing.

O&A were the kingmakers of comedy, all of today's once funny comedians got their start from the exposure of O&A. Up and coming comedians no longer have a platform if they aren't leftists promoting SJW ideology.

Why is 2010 a requirement? I'm not in the business I just like comedy, it's just stupid to assume only americans can have successful careers as comedians since you don't even consider the ones you can't understand in the rest of the world.

>>85880883
It was both language and actual country. New York accent isn't relevant to comedians in Britain.

cause we're talking about the current climate

sure OP could be a successful comedian in 1960 if he had a time machine and we used our knowledge of what worked then

we're talking about what works today, which is louis ck and bill burr and to a lesser extent jim jeffries and that jewish blonde fat whore

new york accents, thats what puts bums on seats

>new york accents, thats what puts bums on seats
In America yes. They don't really visit the rest of the world that often though, so we have plenty of comedians that fill our seats over here.

Watch lots of comedy, read comedy scripts, start writing your own funny stories until you develop a unique voice.

That's what i'm doing. Currently on my fifth screenplay and hoping this one will be good enough to submit to festivals/competitions.

Just record yourself and listen/review. If you think fast and the process of writing gets in the way of your flow, then recording yourself is the way to go.

Be ready for most of your jokes to fall short
Keep expanding your horizons. Some comedians will fall into some sort of category, but before that happens just write shit and perform.
Write shit and present yourself as presentable to your audience.
Don't blatantly steal jokes from other comedians. You can get away with it as a mistake like one or two times, but if you do it more than that you'll get hunted down by joke autists.
Timing is very important, as well as delivery. You need to get used to how and when to hit the audience with the punchline or else all of your jokes will fall flat.
Take some public speaking classes or at the very least be comfortable presenting your content to a big audience who does not have good expectations for you
Learn to take criticism or else you'll sudoku
Keep going. Nobody makes it right from the start. You'll flop and flop and flop until you get your rhythm. Just keep banging your head against the wall until you build up some followers and start gaining steam.
>>
memorize reddit puns
>>
I just keep writing sketches, short films and stand-up bits without doing anything with them.
Talking to people is too straining so I can't produce them with anyone else so I think I'll just make some tiny finger puppets and record them with that.

it shows potential but I think it relies too much on preconceptions of races, disney and countries making the jokes expected.
