If you have those basics down, then these are some more advanced tips for delivering a great standup comedy routine.
First, pay attention to your attitude.
Secondly, control the stage and the audience.
Lastly, don't be afraid to adjust your material on the spot.
Remember that attitude is everything.
When you watch other comedians, take note of their attitude when they are onstage.
Other comedians walk onto the stage and act as though they own the place.
If you've been practicing, then you know your routine is funny, so expect your audience to laugh at the right times.
When you get up on stage, just go for it.
The audience will react to your attitude, so be sure and project good energy.
Secondly, control the audience and the stage.
Again, watch other comedy routines.
Just because other comedians don't act nervous doesn't mean they don't get butterflies.
They just use their attitude, and take charge of the audience and stage.
Remember that the audience is, in a sense, looking to you to lead them.
They want to put you in control.
Act as though you are in charge, even if you're a bit nervous.
Lastly, don't be afraid to adjust your material on the spot.
If something in your routine isn't working, then don't hesitate to change it.
If you've practiced enough, then you know your routine and where your punchlines should be.
However, different groups of people will always react differently to jokes, so don't be afraid to change things up a bit.
If you've watched and practiced, and you feel like you are ready to take your comedy routine to the next level, then be sure to watch your attitude, control the stage and your audience, and don't be afraid to adjust your routine on the spot.
