Failing in Comedy

I mostly write and perform sketch comedy. I've tried writing standup but oh my gosh its so difficult. Kudos to you if you're a standup writer/performer.

I don't know if you can really call it bombing when you do sketch videos , but man, have I failed at some of my videos. How do I know?


My mum, and I swear by this, only ever laughs if something is truly hilarious. So, basically I make my mum watch all of my videos to see if they're funny or not.


It's fool proof.

About 50% of the time my mum has kind of chuckled a bit when watching my videos,but there was one where she was literally cracking up and almost had tears rolling down her face. That is the reaction I'm always aiming for. But at the same time I usually just write stuff that will make me laugh. Isn't that what comedy is about? Being able to enjoy your own material?

Until Next Time....
