#371 - Finding Your Audience, In Stand-Up Comedy,

Send us Fan MailI recently discovered a game-changing approach to testing comedy material by identifying and targeting people who already share my sense of humor. This scientific method for joke development has dramatically improved my stand-up performance and writing efficiency.• Find individuals who already have your sense of humor to test material on• Use the scientific method for comedy: hypothesis, test, analyze, improve or discard• My ideal audience includes police officers, military personnel, and first responders• People with similar backgrounds often share similar humor sensibilities• When testing jokes, you only get one true "first impression" with each person• Multiple tests with different people help determine if a joke is trending toward success• Target your specific audience first – anyone else who laughs is a bonus• This approach applies to many pursuits beyond comedyThanks for listening to Psychological Warfare.
