British Comedy Guide

Looking for some feedback on Stand Up

Hi, I've watched this video a couple of times and I need a few opinions.

As to the first line, the reason that got a laugh was that the comic previous to me had a bit of a meltdown on stage. Anyway, thoughts?

Doing stand-up is no easy thing and criticising is a doddle. So before doddling
I congratulate your balls - and the rest of you.
It's not really criticism it's more like observational. You seem to be unsure
of yourself: rounded shoulders, head down, and err and erm..ing between shots.
Stand up, be proud of your balls, shoulders back and let 'em have it with
confidence. BESTALUCK

Considering your tender years it was a good effort and you have some good ideas.

You must know your material intimately, referring to notes means you're losing control. I also find, laughing at one's own jokes to be counter productive, but that's just me.

Some good observations re the porn story, this could be developed even more ie. every time you try to watch porn you have to close down adverts for Viagra, false Facebook requests from a local girl named 'Julie Juggs' with 2 mutual friends and automatic links to 'Live Jasmine'. Not that This has happened to me, I'm just guessing/ a friend told me about it.

In summary, know your stuff, get more experience and keep it up.

All the best.

I got distracted by the fact you look a little like Jake of BBC Sport. Probably not advantageous.

No expert but it seemed ok.
