The audience make assumptions on YOU even before you say the first word. Get ahead by understanding exactly what those assumptions are.

Most beginner comedians don’t have a joke problem. They have a thinking problem.

In this video I break down how comedians actually train themselves to think differently through reactions, comparisons, exaggeration, tension, wording, and natural performance.

A lot of stronger material comes from changing the way you observe and react to the world rather than just trying to force punchlines onto the page.
