Stand-up Comedy, part 4

Stand-up Comedy - Comedy Evaluator Pro

Now this is really a great piece of kit.

Imagine having a piece of software that allows you to pinpoint exactly which part of your stand-up comedy act needs work. Imagine being able to find out how many laughs you are generating per minute in your stand-up comedy act. Imagine finding out how you need to improve in order to become a headline comedian.

Well, imagine no more because you can get hold of the

Comedy Evaluator Pro

I couldn't believe this when I got it.

It take a few goes to get used to how the software works but once you get used to it you can work out everything I mentioned in the last paragraph and more. Not only that but you can see an evaluation of different well known stand-up comedians comedy acts. And you can print out a report on your own act so that you monitor your progress.

I don't know about you but when I used to record my stand-up comedy act I was sort of hunting around in the dark with what to do with the recording. Sure, I could work out which lines got laughs and which didn't, but it didn't really give me a lot to go on beyond that. Now, you get to see exactly where you are on a funny scale. I guess it's almost like the old-fashioned laugh-o-meter. Except this actually works.

It provides you with objective measurable feedback when you run it alongside any audio or video recording of your stand-up comedy act. There's also a table to you can chart your progress and see where you need to aim for. You can't get better than that really.
