RE: PAPA-PEPPER : A STAND UP GUY - "EVERYONE CALLS ME 'MEMO'"

Ok. So I'm about to watch, but your 'proof of standing up' made me snort laugh!

So... good start. 😎

Edit to add: I watched it . You are super entertaining and interesting to watch, but that wasn't stand up. 😏

More like opinion narrative (which is VERY popular on youtube).

If you just want to talk about things that irk you (you know, enough to make you want to make a video), you totally should. A lot of folks use news or just their life to 'speak out into the great uknown'. It's the personality that sells, not so much the content.

Many moons ago (before the husband) I dated an 'aspiring' comic. πŸ˜€ What others say is true, for it to be standup it needs to really be a series of stories with sweet, unexpected, hilarious punchlines. Normally, when just starting out, you'd get maybe 5 minutes. But when writing out ideas (not verbatim) and going through little anecdotes 5 minutes can be a LONG time.
Most stories won't be too long (surprisingly short actually) and if the punch is weak, it's like a sad deflated balloon that can't even pop. πŸ™

Lol! But I digress...

You're gonna be awesome at WHATEVER you put your time into. So do what makes ya happiest. 😍

Thanks for all of that. I appreciate it. Just figured I'd try something different, I guess that it wasn't "stand up" though.
