In comedy scripts matter a lot and you should always have some fresh content. To work on this it's a good habit to carry a notebook with you when you are on the move. Observe things or conversations that happen around you that could be given a comic twist. Actually everything in life has some sort of humor in it. You have to just perceive it by keeping your senses open. Moreover you should try to write jokes on a daily basis because you need a lot of content when you do stand up.
Sometime back a reporter asked a very famous standup artist, "how to be a comedian?" He answered it in line by saying comedy is ninety percent expression. You may have caught my message. Yes comedy is all about expressions. You may have also observed it many times that the same joke performed by two different persons can create different responses. It could be a matter a crazy laughter in one case but can fell flat with other one. It all depends upon how you present your jokes to your audience. To work on this regard it essential that you practice your sessions daily in front of the mirror. Observe your expressions and work on your speech too. Additionally you can also perform it in front your friends or family to observe the kind of response that it could generate. You can also work on your speech such that the memorized material appears spontaneous not as something from a parrots mouth. Many times you need to perceive the crowd too and deliver your gig accordingly. Your daily practice would help you in such situations.
