What ideas would you give to aspiring comedians?
Study your craft. Lots of people don’t know that it’s really a craft. Learn the books on comedy, simply don’t get into it. I hate when folks get into it and don’t learn any books. Take an improv class. Take any commonplace class, and be taught your craft. Everyone appears like they might be humorous, however take the time to learn these books. Take a sketch writing class, take an improv class. Know your craft and know tips on how to assemble the precise correct joke.
