all the mics in my area are in bars. it's absolute death.
6:00 so you can be edgy, but mix actual humor in with it. A laugh is a laugh, just dont over do it. Dont get attached to your style if it doesn't get laughs
11 years here’s my tips. Be yourself. Talk to the crowd. Point out the obvious. Have a beginning middle and end to your set. In between work with the crowd to the next part of your time. Open mic night is a pissing contest. Performing for comedians is tough cuz they don’t usually work with people they like to hog the glory and they’ll make you know it. No gross out humor. Shows your inexperience.embrace silence and use it if you can. Point out how unfunny something is and people will tend to agree with you and in return that’s funny. Every gig/open mic is a different experience. No two mics are the same. There’s good times and bad. Even for the professionals. So no one is above a bad performance. Just take the slap on the wrist and try again. Don’t be afraid to fail. You’re gonna fail more than you’ll succeed at first so you might as well get used to it. Lastly practice. Hope all this helps.
How about being moderately drunk? Like not wasted, but solidly buzzed?
These are just my tips and you are welcome to do what you want from them, so you are free to do what works best for you. Personally, I would be sober as it helps me remember my script more and you can deal with situation a lot better.
To state the obvious... every rule here can be broken if you're good enough. Don't insult the audience? Bill Burr Philly. Don't get too drunk? Ron White. Might be better considered as: "if you failed, and you did one of these, maybe dial it back, *OR PUSH IT HARDER*". I have never heard of Matt Hoss (no disrespect, just a fact). You probably haven't either. Don't take his advice :D
Good point. In his defence, this might be good advice for inexperienced comics. Don't ape the behaviors of successful comedians and expect to instantly kill. It might backfire.

at first I thought you were the matt hoss that sued h3h3 a few years ago lmao
Just wanted to say thank you for posting this video, lots of very useful and advice😊😊
Thats so kind, you are more than welcome!
I needed this video before last Thursday. I walked off stage crying 😂 I had nerve’s every and thought “I had it in the bag!‼️ I had a tall coke and Jack strong😂 smoked half a blunt O Lord ! Why! I am definitely going to follow all these tips. Maybe all the reactions to Family like being shocked about me doing it 😂 My Dads reaction was priceless. I went out thinking, I owned the crowd the first time. Very Unprepared thinking, I could wing it! I appreciate these tips so much 🌹
Im so sorry to hear, it can be so brutal! Hope you feel better now. The best tonic is trying again next time. Be kind to yourself and try to use these tips. If I can do anything to help please let me know!
@@matthosscomedy well Thank You so much 🌹 I really appreciate you ❤️
How do you treat friends who are supposed to come support your performance with their laughs rather come to judge your sense of humor thus refusing to even laugh when they are supposed to?
Friends are a difficult one! How do you feel about it? I have my opinions, but would love to hear what you would do now?
Am going to do my standup comedy for the first time on stage I have jokes but I didn't do rehearsals ,How will I make it better?
Try practising in front of a mirror, and learn your jokes. Know your punchlines and how the jokes flow from one another. You need to get used to the routine and how comfortable you feel with it. Rehearsal does help :)
Where your over promised underdeveloped ratio you promised to wickedwiz buddy?
Still working on it. Coming sometime soon :P
When I listen to Comedians I immediately stop listening when they start sex jokes
Some excellent advice here. Good tips. I instinctively knew to record my first standup set, unfortunately I could only get audio. Have been getting video since then. And I had been practicing that first five minute set for three years before I finally got to my first Open Mic. so I think my confidence was pretty good for a first time. A few of the other comics told me they were surprised that it was my first Open Mic. I’ve been doing a different five minute set each month, but I know I need to get to more venues, And do the same set more times to really get an idea of which jokes are number ones, which are number twos, and which ones really aren’t working. I’ll probably be re-watching this video again in another week or two as a refresher. Thanks again.
Thanks so much. Great stuff!
tysm!
I cannot sit and concentrate on an english accent explain comedy to me. I just imagine this guy stuffi g his face with crumpets fig newton's and tea.
There’s some great wisdom here, but you should redo this with limited description and put the tip on screen so I know which ones were on if I skip around
that's what the chapter headers are on it for :) - I don't know if it doesn't show them on a phone but I'm watching from a laptop... HTH!
Is it unethical to tell your audience about a funny story that didn’t actually happen
Oh this is a great question and potentially a whole other video on the subject. I would say generally: No you are allowed to make up a funny story. Most comedians stories have been altered in someway to be funnier. It's very rare they are completely truthful depictions, because that's just good storytelling. I would say it would only be unethical, if it was dependent on WHAT you were saying. If you made up a story about you meeting a dog in a park, that's absolutely fine. If you made up a story about you having an awful disease just to make a few laughs, then that would be unethical and totally not cool. Does that make sense? Like it depends on the fabrication you are making and why you are making it. On the whole:It's okay just be mindful of why you are making the adjustment: as the audience's enjoyment should be your priority and making adjustments to your story's truth can enhance that
@@matthosscomedy I appreciate you taking the time to answer my question so thoroughly Very helpful 👍
i chuckled at your expensive joke.
Great tips mate!!❤
Thank you so much!
Great tips, but I disagree with "Don't be edgy". My first open mic at a real comedy venue, I got ZERO laughs for my clean jokes. I came back in the next week with all new jokes focused on politics, race, and sexuality. Every single joke killed. I think it just depends on the room.
Thanks! I hear you, it is weirdly my most contentious point on this video, so I totally see where you are coming from. I suppose what I mean is: Ive seen tonnes of acts do edgy material and die an absymal death. If you can write edgy material and it works for you, good for you! I just have seen that it typically (particularlty in the UK) it doesn't land very well unless you are particularly honed in your craft. Hope this bit of nuance helps, but also great to hear you are doing well!
In regards to best joke first, how many fireworks shows start with the grand finale?
Thx Great tips
1. Don’t have an ego (be wiling to make mistakes and learn from them) 2. Don’t get drunk 3. Don’t be edgy 4. Don’t expect to be perfect 5. Don’t forget to learn 6. Don’t insult the audience 7. Don’t do crowd work 8. Structure your set 9. Don’t rush yourself (maintain comedic timing, delivery) 10. Don’t go over time limit 11. Get good at 5 minutes before 10 minutes (focus small) 12. Remember the comedic point 13. Learn how to use the microphone (not too far, not too close to mouth) 14. Don’t leave the gig early (stay for other comedians)
Thanks for the summary, that is helpful for others :D
Im gagging to try standup but im a Brit living in west coast Canada, im worried ill offend lol
Idk if a british guy should be telling me how to do stand-up. Haha just joking great advice mate. Cheers!
😆 That is a very good point haha
Lol I thought it was a funny joke, I would've said it for any other race/ethnicity. Once I started writing comedy literally everything became a joke. I laugh exponentially more now, and life seems to be much better. Cheers mate
Can you or anyone here go to my channel and critique my Stand Up Demo? It's my latest video. Thanks
Could i do a video about it? :)
Daniel tosh would disagree w shock humor
I hear that, this is purely my stance, and I appreciate others would disagree. I suppose I just would offer caution if people wanted to completely do shock humour. The books and my experience agrees with my point, but you know, people have to do what works for them, and fully back that :D
Thanks for the great info fella! I'm learning right now about all of these things!
Thank you so much, really happy to read that. If I can help support you with anything else, please let me know :D
Excellent
thanks mate!
damn, I have to catch a train to get back home beacuse I need to get up for work the next day super early. its wuite a tricky situation. I really hope i'm not pissing off other comics. I wish I could stay... maybe ill try to get the last train next time and hang out with the guys at the end. thank you for the tips.
Hey! Honestly, If you cant stay, then thats okay! Seems totally reasonable and everyone has a life outside of open mic comedy. The point in the video is if you have means of getting home at anytime and don't need to leave right away, but then you do anyway - that is what would annoy people. Just hearing your brief story, I would find it hard for people to be upset. I used to regularly get the last train home, and people understand! And typically promotors will work around your needs. Its okay if you need to leave early -its on the other acts if they dont understand! Basically, you don't need to worry and hopefully my nuance here is helpful! And thank you for the kind words!
Thank you for the reply and encouragement! I'll keep going! even if I have to travel 2h to and 2h back just to get on stage for 5 min it's worth it! I'm loving it and I'm filming it and learning every time! Great channel and lots of good advice. thanks a lot <3 @@matthosscomedy
Great tips but I would disagree with one point. If your style is dark and edgy, you need to stay true to yourself.
Thank you so much! I suppose it's important to stay true to yourself and if that's the comic you want to be, then fair enough. I would recommend exploring doing a range of jokes, but staying true to who you are. I suppose if you are purely out to shock, then that won't be helpful in the long run, but If you can craft really interesting, and dark jokes that is in keeping with who you are, then that is great!
what if you only have like 4 minutes, what then?
Write more!
What if no one laughs at none of my jokes & my time is not up can I be like okay guys this isn’t going as expected I’m leaving or do I need too wait til my time is up? & when writing jokes does it have to be a story or can it be joke after joke? & any ideas on what to write about I have some jokes but I feel like they are terrible
Hey! The best thing about being a comedian is finding your own voice and your own style. You can choose whether to do a story or you can choose to do one-liner jokes. You don't need to be perfect on your first try, just enjoy it. Write about what you think you is funny. Record your set, listen back and keep the bits that people laugh at. That's the comedic process :) What are some thoughts you have? What is something people have laughed with you about in conversation? Why do you think stand-up is something you want to do? Hope this is a nice starting point for you and you are welcome to message me back and I can help you moving forward
What if I’m brand new I want to do open mic but I am going to go to Dallas PLEASE PLEASE LMK ITLL BE MY FIRST! I was told to book more than one so please please lmk
You can honestly do as much as you want, and if you are in a certain place for a certain time, sure, fill your boots. But sometimes less is more when honing your craft. I would recommend not doing more than one per night, but if you can get multiple bookings, go for it. My key advice is that: reflection is your friend. Look at your show, look at what works, and try to fix or omit the things which don't work. You need time and self-awareness for that, and that can be hard if your racing from gig to gig (initially).
A masters in comedy whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
Yup it's a real thing! They used to run the course at the University of Kent, and they do it in different places now (I think University of Brunel?)
Great video! Nice work.
Thank you so much!
