Exercise: Honing Your Act

Go through all of your index cards.

1. On each card, circle one topic. (You should circle only one topic and one joke per card.)

2. Make sure the topic is relatable.

3. Write an attitude word on each card. (You don’t have to say it, but you must act it.)

4. Is that attitude expressed by any of the following words: stupid, weird, hard, bugs me, scary?

5. Does each topic have a premise that is written out?

6. Does that premise answer the attitude-topic question? (“Do you know what’s weird?”)

7. Do most topics lead to an act-out?

8. Does the act-out have the same cast of characters as the setup?

9. Does the act-out exaggerate the attitude?

10. After some act-outs, do you have a mix?

11. Do you follow the mix with another act-out?

12. Do you have a lot of hits on most topics (topic run)?

13. If you have a list of three items, is the third one a turn?
