I study comedy, casually on youtube, and have never ever heard such a detailed analytical process for creating comedy. As an engineer, it's appealing.

[@ComedianTonyLove]

I watch this guy's videos all the time. I use the tips in my stand ups. Thanks for the great interview.

[@hermanambriz]

This video is a gold mine. Even though it is very brief it is so very jam packed with good material; even more so than some of the other vids with Jerry that are much longer. Thanks a million.

[@LiamDangerPark]

I’ve read some books on comedy writing and heard some people talk about it, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard such intelligent theoretical analysis

Oh wow thanks Kannon! It's a winner for sure.

[@oniciamuller]

This is my fave advice from Jerry. Really changed how I approach comedic storytelling.

[@HotBreathPod]

We agree Onicia. This entire interview has helped our comedy!

Thanks Carlos! We just did a new Q&A with Jerry in our Facebook group. He's a guru!

I write poetry and this actually helped me a lot

[@HotBreathPod]

Oh that is amazing to hear! How are you applying this knowledge?

[@nickjonesthenova5928]

@@HotBreathPod now when I editing, I can see all of the unnecessary verbage. Since I've taken the extra words out I've noticed that my audience reaction increase. Now I only keep words and phrases that directly display the concept of the poem. My performance is now more potent

Punwords wordplay punchline oneliner doublemeaning

[@dfjam7492]

I feel like the most useful here (besides a punch line cause that’s an essential) is doublemeaning cause you can bring the unexpected

[@YellowwFellow]

I had a stupid story telling bit about I knew an opener for me that took a thc weed edible before getting on stage. And he was having a panic attack and was scared that the audience were his friends staring at him coming to collect money he owed and the spotlight was police up in the rafters wanting to arrest him. But the premise was the audience would think he was pretending and it was all part of his act the way he was freaking out and would keep applauding him through his terrible high expeirence.

Hi. What are tags and toppers?

"One time my wife met me at the door with a negligee on, OH BOY! The only problem was, she was comin home." Classic misdirection by the king of set ups.

[@-solidsnake-]

Sounds like a joke the guy with no respect would make

[@manujohn99]

No stand up comedian is funny but its the audience who makes the stand up comedian as a comedian.

[@HotBreathPod]

That's an interesting take.

[@demonddoes2198]

So, how does one get started in comedy when you've never done it? I've literally been writing jokes for about a month.

[@HotBreathPod]

A great place to start is our free facebook group Desmond. We do a daily joke writing contest. facebook.com/groups/HotBreathComedyNetwork/

[@-solidsnake-]

Find an open mic near you, rewrite your jokes to be funny as possible, and get up there brother

[@bonsaiisland3193]

Just gotta get up and GO! Take a sip of your favorite drink. Give yourself some slaps and let that shit fly.

[@PervertedPodcast]

Forget that open mic shit...take hostages at a movie theatre, and facebook live your best five minutes, before you go live tell the hostages to clap and cheer like their lives depend on it. "Either I kill....or I KILL" big laughs! :D

[@johnmchugh8049]

So I could make a joke about my pregnant wife like - she tells me she wants an abortion but I tell her there’s a hanger shortage ? Maybe not as clever as the gas joke but I’m new at this 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@HotBreathPod]

Pick your target word in your setup. In this case you have chosen "abortion". Now write out all the different meanings, interpretation of abortion as a word and as a situation. In this case you chose abortion "the home remedy way" I think this works technically but the audience won't buy it because a "hanger shortage" is not a thing. Write out 10 more interpretations and see if you can find something that is a little but more true. Remember for exaggeration "Bend, don't break""

[@herseem]

That's actually quite funny, but the comedy word is 'hanger'. I would put 'hanger' at the end. Eg, "...but I tell her she can't - there's a shortage of coat hangers". But you could add a bit about getting some more socks and waiting until one of them turns into a coat hanger.

[@johnmchugh8049]

@@herseem great point

[@darrellkramer8097]

Very Kermit-the-frog hack, but I like it.

[@darrellkramer8097]

@@HotBreathPod Yeah, like hanger as in "coat hanger" or hanger as in "airplane hanger". Never heard of a shortage of either one.

Why is he doing the “White Power” sign in the thumbnail?

[@christopheradams8807]

Because it's more commonly known as "Ok", or a positive symbol.
