How do I develop good joke delivery and timing for my stand up routine?!


Question: How do I develop good joke delivery and timing for my stand up routine!?
My friends told me I am an "awkward" stand up comedian!. They say its awkwardrd because I walk around too much!. Is that bad!? How do I deal with hecklers!?Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
Walking around too much can be awkward!. You are probably nervous which is why you walk around!. Some comedians play a guitar or do something else that requires movement to quell the urge to move!. Walking isn't necessarily a bad thing though, especially if it helps set up a joke!. Checking out some other comedians on Comedy Central or something may give you an idea of how you should act on stage!. Don't become them, but learn from them!.

Joke timing really depends on the joke, and your style!. Demetri Martin takes a lot of pauses in his jokes, while comedians like Dane Cook tend to just rant!. I perfer Demetri's style to Dane's, but its really a matter of opinion!. The best thing you can do is practice though, get in front of a mirror and perform a joke a few times using various pause lengths!. Go with the one you think sounds the best!.

Hecklers are best dealt with by turning whatever they say into making them look stupid!. If a heckler says "you suck" try and come up with something on the spot!. Something like "And you paid to come and watch me suck, who is the real idiot here!?"

I'm an aspiring stand up comedian, and thats just what I do!. Even though I'm only 16 it tends to work for me!. Observation and Practice are the best tools you have!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I don't know much about stand-up but my suggestion is to watch professionals as much as you can!. Don't be a copycat, but it's okay to develop your own style from watching theirs!.
