Five Lessons From Steve Martin's Stand Up Comedy
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 02. 2021
- Last week, we discussed George Carlin and how he found an authentic voice as a comedian. This week, we're jumping forward a decade and looking and how Steve Martin built his act, and the five key lessons he learned along the way. Those lessons are essential to his work and his performances, and they helped him to build a career that suited his unique goals and skills.
While Carlin changed organically with the times, Steve's journey was about perfecting his own rhythm and then letting the times come to him.
I can't recommend Steve Martin's book Born Standing Up highly enough, it's perhaps the best comedy memoir of all time. Find it here: www.barnesandn...

i think your channel is making me fall in love with comedy as an art form
Yet ANOTHER great video Katie. Thank you for sharing such quality comedy content. We share the same love and passion for comedy!
Wow a hot breath/ Katie Mears crossover?? It warms my cold comedian heart
I like that you incorporated snippets from his book. It was the perfect type of audiobook to listen to in his own voice.
Steve Martin doesn't often get the credit for it, but he may just be the smartest comedian of all time.

Thanks for this. Having a sunday, and remembering how much this man impacted my sense of humor. Bowfinger is a forgotten wonder.
Of course, I have a lot of respect and admiration for Steve Martin. Brilliant comic, writer, actor, and a virtuoso banjo player. Inspired by Steve Martin, I have tried to always have a little bit of goofiness in my five minute stand-up sets. I’m still in the novice stage, only five months in at Open Mics, but my Comedy is still more traditional in structure than what Steve Martin does/did. I don’t think I could do what he does, in terms of his structure, which almost seems like lack of structure. He is a singular talent. I appreciate this video. Thank you.
I've always thought of Steve Martin as like, this really endearing uncle - growing up seeing him in films a lot, I guess I was just always in awe of his easy-going charisma and wonderful absurdity. Really thought the parts about flubbing the magic trick being funnier than nailing it, and the idea of letting the audience 'decide' when to laugh were really insightful. Definitely added to my appreciation for the guy. Thank you, as always!
Your videos are amazing I believe the first time I ever heard of how much of a comedy legend Martin is, was through Cal Newport's blog, that he later turned into a books called So Good They Can't Ignore You. Can't wait for Part 2! Hope your and your loved ones are doing well Katie. :D
This was so insightful. Thanks for being our guide. Appreciate the photos and video clips.
I am immediately in love with this channel! And I think the reason is your incredibly apparent love for comedy and what it is that makes it work. Very, very refreshing and fun. Instant subscribe.
I love Steve Martin!!
Great video!!
A freaking awesome video!! WELL DONE!
Myself as an entertainer/ humor guy, took a lot out of it!
Keep it goingggggggg!
love love love love this videos. Thank you for making these katie
Love this! Steve is my comedy God. As a kid I could recite Let's Get Small, Wild And Crazy Guy and Comedy Is Not Pretty, verbatim.
Thanks so much for the info. This was awesome. Super interesting and informative.
Good content katie !!!!
I remember the Smothers Brothers, my family always watched. It was a great show.
Thank you, great work!
This is beautifully researched! Great video!
Love the video. Keep it up!
I love your videos, Katie! I hope you get back to making videos at some point because your channel is one of my favorites on CZcams. You’re a unique sort of stand-up historian that we need today more than ever! Stand up is an art form and I wish more people appreciated that.
I always like your stuff. thank you. We need you.
Great, smart stuff.
This was really cool. I remember when 'King Tut' came out (the song - not the pharaoh), it was HUGE! Steve Martin was super-hot around that time. Didn't he play banjo for The Ozark Mountain Daredevils? Could have been another band - I can't remember.
It was The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - I had to look it up.
I totally agree that now's the right now for more silly comedy as escapism. Thanks for the video!
I love your videos so much, I only found you yesterday and I swear you're already my favorite youtuber, please please please keep doing these, I swear I'll support you on patreon as soon as I have some money in my bank account ❤️ you're amazing, every analysis you make is amazing, I have already learned so much and I look forward to keep learning, I mean I didn't even know there were more female comedy nerds out there 😍 thank you so much for this amazing material!
Great video as always. Do Patrice O'neal next. A documentary about him is coming out today on Comedy Central too.
I don’t know why I took so long to check his stand up out he’d so funny
This is wonderful :)
Thanks Katie. Really great video. I just finished On The Real Side following your video about comedy books. Really enjoy the old Godfrey Cambridge, Dick Gregory CDs. M
Great video. Wild and Crazy Guy was the first album I ever owned and Cruel Shoes was one of my fav books. He was very important in shaping my sense of humor.
Sorry deleted original reply about doing something on Letterman. Me not good internet.
But I just read an old tweet of yours where you said Letterman makes your skin crawl so I guess that’s not going to happen:) No worries. Chacun a son gout.
But how about this then? A recommendation. Richard Herring (latest Taskmaster champion) and better half of Lee and Herring (hot take as the kids say) has a twitch show called Ally and Herring’s Twitch of Fun which is uploaded to his CZcams channel after being live on Twitch. It’s a new take on ventriloquism, yes ventriloquism. It’s fun, weird, sad, subversive and is probably one of my favourite comedic creations coming out of this mindfuck of a lockdown. The evolution over 30 episodes is amazing. I hope it’s something you’ve never heard of before because gosh darn you know everything about comedy.
And he had arguably the worst appearance on the Off Menu podcast which in my opinion makes it the best. Maybe it’s old white man comedy but I’m an old white man.
Whoah, this is long comment for someone who openly dislikes engaging on social media but you’ve kindled in me a renewed love of all things comedy. And I’m bored
By the way, your hair looks great. No I’m not a hair freak, the cut and colors look good on you. Definitely coming back next week for Pt 2
Hey there. In case you read this, curious if you've read any of Steve's other books outside of Born Standing Up? Most of them are very good. He has a very relaxed tone to his writing that flows. And he inserts very unique and funny details slash metaphors throughout. You may have read them but I recommend Picasso at the Lapin Agile and The Pleasure of My Company.
I also was wondering, since you mentioned the smothers brothers show, are you a fan of Pat Paulsen? I love his weird deadpan delivery of nonsensical lines that always trip him up.
Yes! As crude as this sounds, I've always thought about much of his humor as climax denial.
his book rocked
It's easier to look back on greatness then the 10000 people on 2023 its now a lost art
Clean goofy wins overall
I also saw him right the tail end of his stand up fame in 1979 tour in nj I was 10 years old what are the chances of that by 1980 he was done with comedy is not pretty lp and the jerk and the comedy store half banjo lp in 1981 end
Katie, you are so cute!
Wait, I lived through the 70's, but you can't be old enough to remember any of that. How can you talk about something like an expert when you weren't there? No offense, and you do a good job of this. It's just strange, sorry.
Books, research and passion
This is so fascinating from the perspective how unfunny as an European I think he is. I'm a big comedy fan but he's almost unbearable to watch. I don't know anyone outside US who thinks he's funny. These kinds of phenomenons inside specific cultures are so interesting. He seems to laugh at his audience and they don't seem to know it. Like emperor without clothes.
I don’t find his style of humor funny either. When I do laugh it’s more of an annoyed, “you’re so ridiculous” type of grin I’d give a boyfriend who is trying incredibly hard to make me laugh yet failing then I eventually give in. I just finished his book and it was such a joy. I think the reason Martin’s comedy style affects some others so much is because he performs in every sense of the word. He embodies vulnerability and that is rare with someone who clearly doesn’t care about others’ perceptions of him.
Never found him funny.
