Myth #5 Success in stand-up is largely dependent on having a unique or original look, hook, persona, character, presence, point of view, or anything thing else that will make you stand out from the rest of the comedians.

Fact: You can be yourself on stage and command huge laughs.

It is also interesting to note that virtually every stand-up comedy guru that is willing to tell you that you need to become a character or get a hook can't even begin to tell you HOW to do it.

Because the audience already knows what your story or topic is about, you automatically use less words as you continue to tell your story .

Less set-up words and set-up lines equate to more frequent punchlines and allows you to quickly gain the momentum you need to get on a roll .

You just need the tools and the knowledge to capture your own unique sense of humor and condense it for the stand-up comedy stage.

Myth #6 You can learn to become funny or funnier than you really are.

If you have a sense of humor that has made people laugh consistently in everyday life - for years - you are already your own best character.
