I'm gonna do a local standup using nothing but stolen jokes from the Coli
No thread killer here, but I did it 2 yrs ago, got a couple of paid gig...but then my new(at the time) 9 to 5 stressed me out too much and lost the love for it...but I decided to get back into it this year, mostly behind the scenes, so I been filming comedy sets and helping on sketches recently. Here's some things I've learned:
-Open mics - Don't be discouraged if the other dudes trying to do comedy there don't really laugh at your stuff; they see you as competition and are very cliquish as far as support if they came there together or already know each other.
-The way you picture yourself doing your material, probably won't be the actual way its delivered. Remember you're assuming audience re-action from a punchline..And if they don't laugh, you're look stupid expecting them to laugh.
-Be prepared to take note with what works, and keep doing it over and over till you can build around that material with successful follow up material.
-No way you're gonna be Chris Rock on your first attempts.
-Make sure you network.
-Very Important: You won't be making any money till after like the third level of doing standup.
1st- Open Mics...free shows
2nd- You'll have to bring a certain amount of people to a show to be considered to perform
3rd- You'll actually get a few dollars for a show.

the trick is to make it look natural, its takes a while of preparation.

I do stand up and have used stuff from SOHH on stage ... but it's stuff from threads that I made. I had a thread blow up and figured it'd be funny to tell that same story on stage and it worked.

Yeah.....I'm always like
when I see this mawfucca on stage with several thousand people in the audience loosing they mind with his "comedy"..... I tried to watch one of his perfomance on TV...
...and I was completely ready throw the TV in the bushes 
... my soul felt dull....
Its some shyt that's said on here that have me
....if gay shyt wuz accepted in the black community @BuckeyFever could do standup right now....but we usually gon give the 
face to that.....but ain't no way u could take most stuff off here,u could take certain quotes like "2pac in a suit" and "you share that girl" if that came from here....but 90% of it would have to be from u,if u ain't a good story teller comedy ain't really for you...I see funny storys on here but not a build up and a actual punchline.....u gon just tell funny storys with no punchline?u gon end up like Will on Fresh Prince when he tried to do standup

This real?
It was from a thread I made bullshyttin but it made for a funny story, so I tweaked it to make it seem real. I haven't made money off stand up yet but I've gotten to open for a bunch of traveling comedians. Biggest one is Natasha Leggerro. She has albums out and does voices on a comedy central cartoon.
I just moved out to LA but I'm going to stay under the radar with my open mics until I'm ready be seen out here.
