Stand-up Comedy, part 3

Stand-up Comedy

Whoops, I forgot to mention:

The comedy professionals who consistently kill (storm or whatever euphemism you want to use for being really funny) audiences get a minimum of 4 to 6 laughs per minute throughout their entire act.

That's what you should aim for - a minimum of 4 to 6 quality laughs for every minute you are on stage when simply using your own individual sense of humour and outlook on life.

Speaking professionals that maintain 45 seconds of laughter for each 5 minutes of presenting are kicking the proverbial posterior.

Look, whether you are a stand-up comedian or a funny public speaker, the fact remains:

The funnier you are, the more money you make.

Yes, there is a certain amount of promotion and marketing involved, but lets be honest if you don't have "the product" (your comedy act) then you are essentially selling the sizzle without delivering the steak! If that happens the stand-up comedy police will surely be called.
