Use these tips to make your comedy script more humorous

A stand- up comedy act is not so much fun for the comedian especially a night before the show. The reason for this is because he has to prepare his write up and practice it. And even after all the preparation, he may get a feeling of doubt about the success of his performance. So it is hard to evaluate whether the ideas the comedian is using will make people laugh or not before the live performance.

It is not possible to learn stand up comedy by just reading about it but you can use the following tips to write a funny stand- up comedy script:

• Know the kind of audience you will be facing. A little bit of information like the average age group of the audience can give a little idea about their likes and dislikes.
• Try to find a partner who belongs to the same age group to assist you. You can share your ideas with that person and make him hear some part of your script which will give you an idea about reaction of the audience. It is much better than sitting alone and wishing for the best.
• One idea is to make imaginary characters which resemble real people. Audience finds it really funny when a common situation that is faced by many people and their reactions are presented in a humorous way. You don’t even have to think of a funny start. Just start with a story and go on adding some humorous content to it.
• Try to watch as much stand- up comedy shows as possible. It is a good way to learn stand up comedy by observing successful comedians and learning tips from them to make a script humorous.
