I'm more of an improv guy myself, but I have some stand-up buddies and have tried it myself. Charleston, SC has a pretty healthy stand-up scene that's being cultivated by a few very dedicated people. I've only done open mics, bombed most times, but got some decent laughs a few times too. The best part of the scene here is that everyone is very supportive. Even if you bomb, you get applause at the end of your 5 minutes. The more dedicated stand-ups I know keep paper and pens with them at all times, as has been mentioned. They also schedule times once or twice a week to sit down and write jokes together. I can see the pros and cons to this-- It's great to have someone to bounce your ideas off of, but it can lead to lots of inside jokes and self referential humor. That works fine in a self-contained scene, but it can limit the wide-spread appeal of your jokes.
