    Getting comfy with comedy<\/h2>\n

    Comedians that are comfortable on stage can do a lot more than those who aren’t. If you feel nervous about being in front of an audience, here are some tips to help you overcome your fear and become a better performer. \u00a0First, it’s important to understand the difference between nerves and excitement. Nerves tend to make people freeze up or stumble through their words, but excitement can give you confidence as well as energy. Second, when you’re anxious about something like public speaking, try thinking of the positive outcomes instead of focusing on how bad it could be if things go wrong. For example: “If I mess up this joke, then at least the audience will know that I’m human.”<\/p>\n

    Comedians are often asked, “Who is your favorite stand-up comedian? What do you like about their style of comedy?” \u00a0The answer to this question varies depending on the person being asked. Some comedians choose a classic comedian who reflects their sense of humor, while others may choose someone they admire for other reasons. For instance, some comedians might say that they enjoy watching Louis C.K.’s stand-up because he makes them feel less alone in the world. In contrast, another comedian may say that her favorite part about Donald Glover’s comedy is how well he uses his musical background to create unique and exciting songs and skits. However, it seems as if one common thread among all great comedians is that they make people laugh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
