Hi,
Standup comedy could be punishing. You should make sure your audience is having a fun time even if you are not actually feeling good. Whether you are sick or healthy, happy or sad, or lively or sleepy, it would be your ultimate job to make people laughing. The crowd in every performance could be equally punishing. You may be facing a hostile crowd, who would aim to make you lose face by making you feel you are not actually liked. As you learn standup comedy and intend to make a career in staging standup comedy acts, you should remain focused.
Many new standup comedians fail because of lack of necessary focus. Instead of aiming to make people laugh, they just intend to keep people in company and mostly, to earn money. Yes, standup comedians need money above all. But seasoned and committed performers prioritize making people laugh over earning a decent and hefty living. Not all standup comedy performers would remain standing for that commitment.
They say it is harder to make people laugh than to make them cry. There is truth to it. Humor is relative and it varies from one person to another. You may seem funny to some people but not to others. Thus, it is just amazing how many standup comedians are able to make most, if not all, of people in a crowd laugh. Doing so may look easy. But as you hold the microphone and stand up there for your ‘show,’ you would certainly realize that you have nothing but the mic and your racing heartbeats.
It is just normal for any standup comedian to feel nervous. This is not unique to beginners. Even seasoned comedians feel nervous in every performance. However, good standup comedians are able to make use of this nervousness to their advantage. They usually attest that the best way to overcome pounding heartbeats is to make people laugh. As you learn standup comedy, strive to make people laugh. You would be surprised how your nervousness and jitters would effectively subside when you see the audience laughing.
You could use your natural sense of humor in making people choke in laughter. It is a must for every standup comedian to possess a natural sense of humor. It could be further developed. If you have that gift, you would be able to make every unlikely remark from the audience turn to become a part of your antic. For instance, if a man suddenly screams to you “You look pathetic,” you may turn to him and respond, “Yes, since birth.” Look at how the rest of the audience would react. Such a reaction would surely bring the house down in laughter.
Lastly, to make people laugh, strive to be yourself. You may have a hard time assuming a different personality. You could not be anybody. But you could always capitalize in making yourself funny and interesting. Pay attention to this factor when you learn standup comedy.
All the best

Hi
body art stigma?
What’s the stigma associated with tattoos? For centuries, perhaps for longer than we know, tattoos have belonged to those on the fringes of society. They adorned pirates who sail the mysterious waters of the uncharted seas, gypsies who forsook the normalcy of steady work and calling the same spot home every night, people who did not conform to the way everyone else lived.
The 1960s brought about a series of social revolutions. The civil rights movement was coming to a boil, and women were carving out their place in the world. People not only became more aware of the flaws in their government and social structure, but were moved in mass numbers to do something to make them better. Tattooing became a little more mainstream because it moved people away from the norm in a time when the social structure was increasingly unpopular.
Tattoos are often associated with bikers, gang members, carnival freaks, prisoners and rock stars. Individuals perceived to fall into categories for which there is no place in the status quo. Are they the ones being rejected, or are they rejecting the restrictive, binding mold that many think everyone should fit in?
In recent year, people are getting tattoos to fit in rather than to opt out, but some of the stigma remains. Information is the key to abolishing prejudices of all kinds.
I have tattoos, which I had put on when I was quite young. I had always loved images and art and I also thought at the time that a ‘bad boy’ image would do wonders for my love life…not! For a lot of my professional adult life, I tried to get rid of them via various approaches – acid/laser – the laser had the best result by the way. I was afraid for many years of being judged for not ‘looking’ like an appropriate role model for children.
These days, tattoos among ‘professional’ staff are common practice…as long as they’re not ‘overdone’ and tasteful – yes I know that’s highly subjective. I have no problem with the current school I teach at. In fact, kids asks me all the time about them. I use it as an opportunity to talk about the permanency of them, the changes we go through which may alter our taste and what to do if we change our minds and/or girl/boy friends. Having said that, I still had to take the risk and wear short sleeve shirts first, rather than have people find out about them gradually…but I’m glad I finally did.
If you’ve ever wanted to get a tattoo, then Perfect Tattoo is a comprehensive guide on choosing the ‘perfect tattoo’. You’ll find out: how to age a tattoo, about disappearing tattoos, cosmetic tattooing, choosing a tattooist, what you need to know before you get your first tattoo, understanding health risks and much, much more.
If you’d just like to resell this eBook to your customers, then I’m also offering Resell/Master and Private Label Rights with the guide. Check out the guide here, or click on the image below.
