"Get Into Character! The moments just before you hit the stage are more important than you might think. Too often, comics introduce themselves or say hello in their regular voice, sounding unsure or hesitant—because they haven’t fully stepped into their persona yet. Use that crucial time before you're announced to mentally shift into character. Walk toward the stage already embodying your comedic voice, so that your very first word lands with confidence and intention. Your set doesn’t start with your first punchline—it starts the second you’re seen."

"If you’re serious about stand-up, staying clear of the hack list is non-negotiable. A “hack” bit is material that’s stolen, overly derivative, or just plain tired—topics and punchlines that have been done to death by countless other comics. Think airline food, bad Tinder dates, or the difference between men and women—unless you have a truly original take, steer clear. Smart comics keep a running, updated list of overused premises to avoid falling into the trap of unoriginality. Your goal should always be to write fresh, authentic material that reflects your unique voice. Audiences—and bookers—can spot hacky material a mile away. Be original. Be bold. Stay off the list!"
