I'm in the same boat as that other guy who doesnt know where to start. Any tips on how to look at situations differently? Actually sitting down to right jokes is near impossible for me.

I am interested in comedic acting, not just stand-up, where should I look for more information?

Hey guys, so I'm doing a senior project on comedy and I'm planning on interviewing a bunch of comedians on their craft. And in a few months I'm gonna do a 5 minute routine at my school and give a little workshop on comedy. I have some questions ready, and if you guys have any suggestions, about anything, I'd love to hear them. If some of you wouldn't mind answering some of these questions, i would be very grateful.

When did you first know you were funny?

What was the first way you exhibitioned your comedy

Tell me about delivery a bit

When you wait an extra second before or after giving the punhline, what effect do you think that has

Does your routine ever change during the night? Like you find something sticks so you go deeper, or the opposite?

How do you judge a room in order to change your coming bits an jokes?

How important is irony to you?

How long do you typically spend forming and polishing a joke? When is it”done”?

How do you practice? In front of a mirror?

That'd be great, thanks.

I also interviewed the comic Will A. Thomas. I got about 45 minutes of him talking about comedy. Would any of you guys like to see it? Ill upload it to youtube
