While waiting to go onstage, vet comic Todd Lynn likes to offer words of wisdom to new jack comics. From last night:
There's a difference between writing good jokes and being funny. When you're funny, people laugh no matter what you say. Funny is about timing, delivery, attitude, and confidence. Writing good jokes is about being smart. The trick is bringing the two together.
Don't slouch onstage. Look like you care about your jokes. The audience will reflect your energy.
