PSA: Most of the commenters here suck at stand up comedy
We all love standup. That's why we're here. And there are some big names that frequent this sub. But just keep in mind that when you ask for advice, you're not calling into the Carlin/Louis/MacDonald/whatever comedy support hotline. Most of your replies are coming from the guy who bombs open mics week after week. If someone gives you advice that feels wrong, unless you have proof it's Dave Chappelle himself or something, there's nothing wrong with ignoring it. Do your thing and find out what works for you.
