Learn Stand-up Comedy: What Is A Punchline Really? Posted By : Steve Roye- public speaking

In the process of trying to learn stand-up comedy, one need only recognize that the only difference between delivering a punchline in a dialogue (talking with a friend) and delivering a punchline in a monologue (stand-up comedy performance) is. Verbalize your material out loud and try to "react" to each and every line of your act (include your natural body language and facial expressions as you do this). While you won't be able to react to every single line in your act, you will be able to react to many lines in your act, giving you the ability to generate punchline very quickly. Steve Roye is a globally recognized expert in stand-up comedy material development and performance improvement.
