“Bombing isn’t failure… it’s data”. I like that.
That was some solid information. Very well put.
He doesn't even need to make jokes. His voice makes everything funny.
the fact that you think that means he's doing his job right. it's proof of how talented he is. He makes it look effortless, but there's a craft to it
I've watched countless "behind the scenes" commentary from comedians and Mark Normand has the best. I could pay to hear this dude do a set, and then pay again to hear him talk about how he developed it.
Dude's awesome
I don't have the guts to bomb more than once. I feel like the first time it happened it quit all together lol. The way comedians can brush off embarrassment and use that to potentially improve is a rare human trait, and I'm envious.
No you'd realize it wasn't that bad and that it gets easier and easier every time you bomb
I can tell you as a newbie with less than four months experience: bombing is necessary. If all you did was succeed and kill every time out, you'd never have the guts to keep going once you hit your first dry spell. Believe me bombing is agonizing. All you do is think about it the rest of the night and you don't want to look the other comedians in the eye on your way out the door, but everyone's been there. It also helps to think that it was the audiences fault and they just didn't get it, even if that wasn't the case. That mindset can allow you to go to bed and forget about it. Wake up the next morning, and start planning your next set.
Solid advice and straight to the point. Cheers for sharing! Greetings from Ireland 😁
Great advice! Mark, i love when you and other comedians on the pods talk about the nuts and bolts of stand up and writing. When most comedians start to discuss it on a pod usually one says "ahhh no one wants to hear this" and then the convo changes and im always like "noo! keep going, i wanna hear the nitty gritty, the come up, the intricacies." I enjoy everything you put out man. One of the best joke writers out there. You inspire me. keep up the queefin! 😎✊
Some really great information, distilled down without any of the fat on it. Very helpful. I’m an older guy who finally started doing open mics in November after five years of writing Comedy and not getting on stage. I look to guys like this for my inspiration.
This has always made perfect sense to me, noticing how audiences laugh differently with a comedian they already know as opposed to someone they don’t know at all, it does seem as if you don’t have to try as hard to be funny when people know who you are
Mark, you were amazing in Bridgeport. I saw you after and told you how genuine and unique your content is... and I know you had your hecklers... but this front rower thinks you are a Grand Master.
guy more a student and fan of comedy than a comedian, which he is of course and now a successful, good one as a result.
Thank u Mark ❤ ! You're one of my all time favorite comedians! And it feels good to get some big brother advice from a very big Comedian!
Out To Lunch is amazing. Thank you
Reading the audience and adjusting jokes/routine accordingly can definitely save you from bombing.
I watched your youtube special after Lex mentioned it. Great stuff man.
I love Mark Normand.
🗣️🔥 I feel like I need to start comedy I got the jokes I know people will crack up 😂😂😂
I hope my first open mic will be chill cos hearing Mark say that it gets easier later, makes me feel more relaxed than ever about it 😀
Mark is the mentor we all need.
Good stuff Mark
The gay comment is so true 😂. Everyone thinks I’m gay, I have a joke in my stand up about it
Genius advice
Reminds me of boxing. Sparring starts put this way too. You get your ass kicked real bad for a while...
why are comedians so ruthless to each other?
Kevin Hart spitting straight facts!
Everytime I fail its data lol
Yeah this is all True starting to realize it now
Twisted fucked up, hurt people is a great description of a stand up comedian
comedy! didnt expect to see Mark talking to Legs, that's weird. talmabout queefs? still love ya, b!
Mark: Almost be a robot...
Lex: Done.
Best advice I've heard ty
Thanks Mark!
Solid.
This process seems the same as dating (for a guy)
Great point
I hope Lex also has Theo on.
This was so well said 🔥👏🙏
My feelings would be hurt if I pulled a bad cake out of an oven.
The civilian brain cant comprehend how hard it is to be a comedian
0:14 The beginning is hard but gets easier
0:36
BEAST
1st
Mark & Lex you guys rock !!!
😃👍💫✨😎
wow.
...who tf saw that coming, lol. Here I thought Mark just had queefs and anaI in that noggin of his
i always wondered , if one wants to start with a youtube channel on comedy , so u literally record urself standing?
This is what a true comic sounds like.
Anyone think there is a parallel with the music industry? Any differences?
0:23 that’s the realest shit I’ve ever heard a comic say. A lot of top tier comics really aren’t that funny ..
I think he meant that open mics suck. And performing in front of real audiences will give you an accurate idea of where your jokes are at
Completely frazzled tonight at an open mic tonight. Had some solid jokes, but the crowd was crickets. Practically no one got laughs in 2+hours. Feeling super discouraged 😢
We're doing it in rural Oklahoma it's hard bro. Look at it the way a blue collar guy looks at a fence when it doesn't hold up. He's not like "Oh this fence didn't understand me I'm too smart for it" nah dude get someone to take a video, watch it back, figure out what you did in delivery or wording that fucked it up and try it again. Best of luck from some struggling open mic'ers in the middle of nowhere bro
I think I’m hilarious but the world disagrees. Understanding your audience is definitely important
But how can you convince them? If you make yourself laugh, there's something there. You don't need to convince the world, just the 30 people in the room at once.
What does that mean? It would bomb on open night but kill on a comedy special. Is it open night customers dont care for comedy?
Exactly
As a comedian. Paid shows are easier b/c everyone is already in the happy mood b/c they Paid.
At Open mics, they don't care but if you kill at an open. You will blow the roof off at a Paid show.
thats not irony... lol what is the correct word??? anybody??
paradoxical?
@@elgatovolador3226 paraplegic?
I know I’m funny and quick witted and always felt I would do great at comedy. But the scary part for me is the rejection and tyat also gives me stage fright. So if I could figure out Avery to get past that, I think I would do well with comedy. I always want to be the first Chinese comedian to hit big, but I waited too long and now there are some Asian comedians now. Oh and I’m flexible and since I grew up with blacks and Hispanics, I have a wide range and understand what they feel is funny, but would never expect going from a Chinese man. I just used my ebonics and had this black lady laughing bc she didn’t expect black wit to come from a Chinese guy.
Thinking since I’m now 60, all the Asians have caught up now bc I was funny back in the 70’s, but never persuaded comedy. So know I’m thinking I should give it a go before it’s too late and face my fears. Btw. most things that I come up with isially surpasses the usual standards.
This is the best breakdown of how to approach comedy ever. Lazy ass comedians like bill burr or dave shapelley never give this kind of wisdom because thayre lazy
stay away from Fridman
You can't learn to be a comedian from watching these discussions. All you poor sucker's who watch this thinking they can do it are living in a fantacy world.
Mark, ya fucked up with your netflix half hour. You gotta get more confidence in your jokes, which I think comes with repeition and time (since your hour youtube special that took you a few years is tight af). Keep goin at it though. Don't give up. You're a great joke writer and talk about awkwardness which is going away. Don't let society change you too much, it's cruel to everyone.
what didnt u like?
says the random person on youtube stfu his special was amazing
First few minutes he didn’t look as confident maybe but he was queefin and cooking by the end! Don’t know what you watched
@@ajfp2k8 Very true in part. He's accomplished far more than me and I'm no psychologist. But hey, I am a big fan that means well. I think he has the drive and love of comedy to become great. Hell what he's going through now would make an interesting hour. Sniff. A fucking god damn brave one. A possibly alienating one. But one I would enjoy. I think with the DIY release schedule it is now up to the artist to decide the polish of their releases and him as well as Morril are adjusting to releasing too much too fast without polish.
