My notes from Success without Stress: Interview of Jerry Seinfeld with Bob Roth
“ A lot of stand-up is analogies”
“If you are fatigued, you look for cookies! Cookies attack you!
“You are two personalities in one! The night guy in you wants to enjoy! Morning guy in you wants you to work! “
Hardest laugh to get is the first one . so you need to ensure it is 100% success . And put all the rest of jokes later
I do TM before every stand-up act. Because you have to be relaxed and you have to have energy
You need to look confident, smooth - “seem to know what you are doing”
Stand-up is a physical act : Physical challenge - I have to push this “mass of meat” - 4000 people to make them laugh!
Every successful joke has one element - a surprise - Line of logic going one-way and suddenly logic falls - It doesn't make any sense - but it does!
Stand-up is scientific in a way - you put 500 jokes in a hopper - 25 come out as great jokes;
All sales require energy; Stand-up is sales; I have to push you; Stand-up is martial arts Like breaking the bricks - in using: Voice, Gesture, and Concentration of energy - to elicit laughs -
