#TIPTUESDAY โ When a Joke Dies, Donโt Bury It Too Soon
Ever told a joke that fell flat, and instantly felt the temperature in the room drop 20 degrees? Youโre not alone. It happens to everyone, even the most skilled comedians. A new performer will often respond to a bit that flops by cutting it if it doesnโt work But hereโs the truth: bad jokes arenโt always bad โ theyโre just unfinished. But a more seasoned comedian knows that most of the time, a joke can be resuscitated, revived, and brought back from the dead if you are willing to do the work. HEREโS THE TIP: Instead of killing the joke, diagnose it. Ask yourself: โข Did the audience understand the setup? โข Did I rush the punchline? โข Was I playing the emotion honestly, or chasing approval? โข. Could I turn the joke upside down? When you embrace your flops as opportunities to learn instead of failures, your material and your craft as a performer just gets better and better. ๐ก ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ข๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐ง๐ข๐๐ฌ, ๐ฐ๐ ๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ฉ ๐๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ๐๐ซ๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐, ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฌ๐จ๐ง๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฌ ๐ ๐๐ญ ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐ง๐ข๐๐ซ, ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐ง๐ฌ ๐๐๐ง ๐ ๐๐ญ ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ค ๐๐๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ญ๐๐ข๐ง. .Members can turn audience silence into split second timing, deeper play, and real laughs. ๐ง If youโre ready to fix, tune, and power up your comedy craft, join us here โ https://kafclown.short.gy/Skool_of_comedy Donโt fear the flop.
