What's The Best Comedy Advice You Received?

Two pieces of advice I received that is important to this day. The specific is to record every set. Not with video necessarily but audio. I record every show on my cell phone without fail. I try to video tape as well but the prior is to record so I can listen back when I write (that’s how I write) and see what worked or to remember something for a later joke or to build on existing jokes. Sometimes an organic moment turned into a joke.

The second important piece of advice I received was to “Be Undeniable”. If you are undeniably the best, the industry and audience cannot ignore you. On every showcase, be the best or one of the best performances. If you write all the time and perform all the time and keep getting better, it will be impossible for people to ignore your excellence.

I have the words “BE UNDENIABLE” on my fridge and taped to my bathroom mirror now.  I try to be. #undeniable #standup #comedian #formerlawyer #advice
