Your videos have actually helped me better in comedy. I recently did a show in Pahrump, and through your technics, advise and tips, I was able to stick to my set and finish on a high note.

[@gregdeancomedy]

That is awesome!

[@naichehanleyhanley6511]

[@gregdeancomedy]

All the best to you as well.

[@paullarkin2486]

Brilliant. Lots and lots of useful tips.

[@gregdeancomedy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rossk8370]

Thanks for the insights, Greg. Your deconstructions are helping me with cutting the unnecessary crap- it’s so hard but I feel better equipped now.

[@gregdeancomedy]

Glad you find it helpful. Being a ruthless editor is one the greatest skills you'll ever develop. Keep in only what serves the joke.

[@rossk8370]

I’ve got that pinned to my wall😀

Ive been waiting 15 years to gather the "cojones" to get up infront of an audience for my 1st set. I have tons of stories but i cant put them in a short bit. Can someone give me any free advice? Thanks much love, Gilbert

Don't mean to be too self serving, yet my book will teach you joke structure and jokes writing as well as many other skills. www.amazon.com/Step-Stand-Up-Comedy-Revised/dp/0989735176/ref=pd_lpo_sccl_1/133-5805711-5198631?pd_rd_w=wIGBv&content-id=amzn1.sym.116f529c-aa4d-4763-b2b6-4d614ec7dc00&pf_rd_p=116f529c-aa4d-4763-b2b6-4d614ec7dc00&pf_rd_r=K6AXAKRYG0NKJ4XWKWM9&pd_rd_wg=cBWtf&pd_rd_r=7c5b901d-1c13-4206-a133-4f5053bc9f1a&pd_rd_i=0989735176&psc=1

May finally take your class!!!!

[@gregdeancomedy]

We're here when the time is right.

[@naichehanleyhanley6511]

Hey professor I did 4 bringers show for big bo the comedian He made $3,000 off the shows Didn't give the comedians nothing YUO SAID STAY AWAY FROM THOSE BRINGER SHOW I didn't listen , should have I paid out my pocket for the bringers shows I will whether be spending my money for your stand up comedy classes.

[@gregdeancomedy]

Sorry that happened, but lesson well learned. There are some bringers worth doing, but make sure there's something in it for you. Like you're on the bill with a famous comedian you want to get to know or it's a good showcase for you if an agent wants to see your work. To get stage time you can always start your own small open mic. Keep at it.

[@Vothtrucks]

I,m confused..... You didnt get around to saying how much he gave you ?

[@RobSajous]

I’m a Photographer as well as a comic but I’m trying to focus on making money as a photographer since I rarely get paid for comedy gigs. What do you think I should do? Take a break from comedy?

[@gregdeancomedy]

Keep doing comedy. Sometimes it takes years to get to the point of being paid. The best reason to do stand-up is that you must. Be well.

[@RobSajous]

@@gregdeancomedythank you

[@norfolknchance657]

I made one up: Some friends tried to wheel me into a boy band reunion on a stretcher but I got up and walked. I wasn't going to Take That lying down.

[@gregdeancomedy]

Great. Keep writing.

[@ItsJustAnotherVideo]

This will be very helpful as I write my first comedy set

[@gregdeancomedy]

Best of luck!

Yao, how did it go down there? I’m a lil bit north from you, I’m trying to get as much exposure as possible. I’m hitting all of the comedy clubs in va to DC

[@richardottum1]

5 laughs per minute is industry standard, yes?

[@gregdeancomedy]

yes

[@richardottum1]

Premise, expectation, punchline, right?

[@gregdeancomedy]

Premise, Setup, Target Assumption, Punchline. Keep at it.

[@richardottum1]

I'm going to an open mic tonight at a health bar requiring clean entertainment and G rated, G for geriatric, yes?

[@gregdeancomedy]

You can dirty up a clean show, but you can't clean up a dirty show. G rated you can perform anywhere. Keep up the great work.

[@edgeharvey555]

Wow great content greg 👏 when you show the clips of your students i cant hear there audio is that fixable thanks all the best

[@gregdeancomedy]

Working on it. Thanks for letting me know.

[@Equals11]

I'm working through your material. Can you cover what qualifies as joke stealing? A troll on social media attacked me saying I stole a joke. I got defensive because I wrote my joke by myself (and very hurt). And the joke she mentioned is similar that it also talks about constipation in context of a crime. so at 20,000ft view the premise is similar that way. But otherwise very different. Now I'm obsessing about it - what makes a joke a stolen joke... and I'm afraid of trolls now too.

[@gregdeancomedy]

If the person that wrote it says it's exactly like their joke. Otherwise, f#ck whoever said you were stealing, especially if you know it was original. I've had people tell me someone was stealing my material, so I watch their show. It had the same subject matter, that's it. Don't listen to others unless it's the author of the joke. If a joke is truly original, just ignore the accusations as they are usually misinformed. Be true to yourself.

[@Equals11]

@@gregdeancomedy Thank you very much! I hear you. I just need to learn to grow thicker skin not to react emotionally

How can I get trained through your courses

[@gregdeancomedy]

Zoom class starts tonight 2-20 4pm Pacific time. stand-upcomedy.com Hope to see you there. Also have ondemand classes on teachable gregdeanstandupcomedyclasses.teachable.com/courses/

[@rossk8370]

Just a quick question- the comedy of say Louis CK and Sebastian M utilise a very different approach to the shattering of expectations/assumptions formula you always come back to. How do they fit into the fundamentals of joke writing that you focus on?

[@mccallajokes]

do they really?

[@gregdeancomedy]

You haven't read all of my work. There's a whole class of jokes where the setup is common knowledge. They shatter those assumptions which are already in our heads, not just the ones presented in the setup. Great question.

[@richardottum1]

Adding the word because to a request; increases your odds of getting the response of yes and a follow through with The fulfillment of the help request

[@gregdeancomedy]

Good advice.

[@ValdemarTatiano]

I Learned a lot Watching this video until the end ! Thank you 🙏🏾

[@gregdeancomedy]

You'll learn how to do all these things if you take the class. You don't know what you don't know. All the best.

[@1kirkallen]

Excellent stuff

[@gregdeancomedy]

Thank you kindly

[@gilyp4205]

What if you live in Miami, too broke to pay for an improv class but you want to learn how to turn your stories in a joke???

[@gregdeancomedy]

It all begins with understanding my jokes structure and POVs. First you need to know where the jokes are so you can edit you story to the jokes that move the narrative along. All the best to you.

[@davidjamesrodrigueztv697]

Try an open mic night and practice

For the Zoom class with Gayla, would there be a chance I’d interact or get feedback from you Greg or is if only Gayla? 🤔

I'm around for part of zoom level 1. It's both of us.

The expected meaning was that you liked this video, the unexpected meaning was that you did not. It looks like you learned something here.

Hard time listening to Dean he takes credit for everything comedy happened long before him it will go on long after. Annoying!!!

[@gregdeancomedy]

Okay. Please show me the literature sighting "joke structure" before 1982 when I coined the phrase in my early workbooks to explain how jokes work. If you cannot. Annoying!!!
