Bill Burr's Comedy Writing Secrets (Feat. The Joke Doctor) 

This comment is the best!

Thanks for watching! Jerry has helped countless comics in this business and for good reason, he knows what he's talking about. We're glad you can also see that!

But shouldn't someone that understands all the concepts actually be funny?

@@Profile.4 I'm not associated with the channel but clearly Hot Breath! puts a lot of work into their channel and their interviews. Be respectful of people. If you don't like it, scroll on.

@@ph8768 no thanks, I'm asking a question and someone should answer it unless they're a coward.

@@Profile.4 I think is not necessary. In comedy, I think, you can have the structure but the performer is equally or more important than that. It's just interesting seeing how it works in an "analytical" level.

Good luck friend!

Any good ones i can use for an opening brother

@@silent.reaper.4429 yes I got some for you great stuff

Got any good ones I can use for an opener by any chance

How was your audition stranger from Internet which was 2 years ago

Thanks Alex! Are you in our Facebook group yet?

I really feel U can’t structure comedy. It’s experience and experiment .

@@sakibshadman1448 Ofcourse, structure can only get you so far. You still gotto create your own style, story telling, gather experience.

exactly, with anything

You’re so right this is what RU-vid education really means like you. I knew there was a formula for this and not just the guys personality. That’s part of it, but there has to be something that he’s DOING .

You can!!! Bill burrs advice is write down 5 min of material and go say it into a microphone.

What's stopping you??

I hope you’re planning on doing stand up soon. The first time you do it will probably be bad looking back on it. Just do it, that’s the hardest step.

@@HotBreathPod I'm disabled with pretty bad anxiety. I'm working pretty hard on it right now to get better. Plus I don't know how to write jokes. I just have things that have happened in my life that a pretty funny/I make it funny because it's easier to laugh at it than it is to cry about it. Like how the first time I had anal sex I ended up having a picture taken of my dick by a Dr to end up in a medical journal/textbook.

Absolutely welcome to the Hot Breathiverse!

Important for kids reading this to understand that you can make six figures selling “bad” jokes to people ..

@@jjcoola998 for sure

He also missing a funny joke! Oddly he thinks he is an expert on writing jokes but didn't say a funny joke

That's another reason why ghost writers exist.

Sure but I don't know if that's a fair critique seeing as explaining jokes is usually killing the comedy

Awesome thanks Saya! We just did a Q&A with Jerry in our Facebook group. Are you a member yet? facebook.com/groups/HotBreathComedyNetwork/

🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏

Ok I am glad I'm not the only one that thought that

What? Why?

Awesome! You'd love our Facebook group. How long have you been doing comedy? facebook.com/groups/HotBreathComedyNetwork/

@@HotBreathPod on and off like 5 years but I never had like a structure and never took it seriously. I'm trying to improve my skits on youtube

@@MRIMan Awesome. You'll love our facebook group. It'll help to connect with other likeminded comics wanting to improve their comedy. facebook.com/groups/HotBreathComedyNetwork/

Yeah this guy’s whole explanation is off. And the other guy saying wow lol

🤣🤣🤣 which ones??

@@HotBreathPod Not necessarily the reactions themselves, just your tone and delivery. It’s like I’m pretty sure you were genuinely interested in what he was saying, but some of your reactions make it sound like one of those one-sided conversations that you really couldn’t care less about. I don’t know, it just made me laugh.

Does that mean you enjoyed the video?

@@HotBreathPod sure i did :D

For sure! You should join our Facebook group and connect with other comics.

@@HotBreathPod I like to stay away from a lot of social media. Thanks for the offer though!

I like your premise. If I could offer an alternative as while I was reading your idea my ownind was expecting or predicting another result. I offer you that you retain your exact premise but with the audience actually being comprised of the debt collecting friends and family and that the rafters did infact have police authorities waiting to arrest the opener guy. have then the performer who is actually high grappel with his paranoia onset but with a internal dialogue that has him convince himself he is just high and paranoid. Have the attending audience politely waiting (because of not wishing to cause a scene not knowing others among them attended the publicised show for the exact same reasons)for the shows end applaud and participate but in abated wait for the moment to pounce and confront. I don't know but maybe there is an angle in that too. Love your idea though, got me thinking. There is something there. Probably a skit for a televised show if not a full scene for a characters arc in a complete series of some kind. Write down your ideas and present them to others like you had here. If you don't you'll only have these flashes of thoughts in your head in a world starved of much original thoughts

Yep you can apply this beyond stand-up comedy!

@@HotBreathPod Wow, ty for replying!! That's great to know, I'll try using some of these techniques next time I want to have some comedy in whatever format :D

By the way, are you in our Facebook group? We do a lot of writing exercises in there! facebook.com/groups/HotBreathComedyNetwork

@@HotBreathPod That sounds like a lot of fun!! Sadly I don't have a Facebook account, but I'll be sure to give it a look if I ever make one! :)
