Writing for standup
Has this much common sense been packed into one short article in the history of short articles about standup?
It’s called “Writing for stand-up” and it’s written by Richard Herring and Josie Long and it appeared on the Guardian.co.uk.
If you want to start writing stand-up, try not to feel like there are any conventions you have to subscribe to. There are no established rules as to what your show should contain.
This is but one of the simple nuggets contained in the piece. For open mikers (or those contemplating taking the plunge), click to it, print it out and commit it to memory.
