Keep a keen eye on all the routines and props that you can incorporate in order to come up with a stage-shaking act. Moreover take close attention to the correct timing, style, content, sound effects, and more importantly the audience and take note of the things that usually bring them to the edge of their seats. Effective punchlines are often placed strategically at the end of sentences. As you write your standup comedy material, remember to put the punchline of a joke at the end or near the end of a sentence or paragraph. You should not put it at the beginning. To illustrate, take this example: A catechist asked his 6-year old pupils why people make it a point to stay quiet while in the church. You should not aim to perform in front of a huge paying crowd before you get the constructive chance to perform in front of a free audience. Start by performing in front of your friends, family, or colleagues. Ask for their feedback and listen intently on criticisms, which should be taken constructively so you could further improve on your craft. Watch live or rent videos of popular stand-up shows featuring no less than the masters. Carefully study how they make people laugh. Analyze what makes them really funny. This way, you could learn comedic timing on your own. This is critical for every standup comedian. Take note of how each comedian assumes a different persona. When the satirical variations reached high levels a club called The Establishment came into the picture. This gave British audiences a first hand experience of the extreme American stand-up performances of Lenny Bruce. On the final year of the 70s, the first ever comedy club under US format and style opened in London via the efforts of Peter Rosengard. The feedback quality from the people in attendance is very crucial as it can instantly bring fame and glory or shame and failure to the person up on stage. The common practice is that comedians aim to bring out regular and constant streams of laughter. This adds more pressure to the performer aside from the fact that most routines are executed as a one-man show.
