True, but I went to an open mike night one time and saw some bitch who had her knowing smirks and ironic attitude nailed like she'd studied them off TV, but her jokes were SHIT, and she bombed dramatically and I could see her sweating through her Paula Poundstone clothes from the front row. Killed any dumb little fantasies I might have had.

if i were to do standup i would be one of those cringe anti-comedy routines and probably not be very funny

no I've imagined myself writing for a comedian because my voice and delivery would be shit

I have. But I've also watched a ton of stand up and know what it would really take to be great at it. You have to be a prolific joke writer. You can't just be a funny guy or just good on stage. Even if you have a couple of funny jokes that you can break in with, you have to be able to consistently write good material. All the other stuff you can learn. I know for a fact that I wouldn't be able to keep up in terms of joke writing.

If you want to do stand up then go do it. Find a local open mic, go to it, watch everyone else go up and do probably not very good material, and try it yourself.

>”But I have awful anxiety and stage fright!”

Stage fright is another word for inexperience.

>”But what if I’m not very good?”

You probably won’t be. If you still want to do it anyway, do it again.

>”But what if I embarrass myself?”

You’ll probably embarrass yourself in your day to day life in one way or another anyway. Might as well get something out of it

I think in order to do that you probably need to nail regular comedy first. crawl before you walk etc
