Comedy Gym
Be funny on purpose.
Funny is a muscle with a memory. Twenty minutes a day beats a weekend workshop every single time — and every lab in this room is a different machine to train on.
Streaks are dumb. Streaks also work.
What it does
- Break the set into premises, bits, punches, tags and transitions.
- Flag dead zones: stretches with no laugh mechanism at all.
- Map callbacks and show which ones the audience can't possibly remember.
- Rewrite the three weakest lines and explain each change.
What it measures
- Laughs per minute (once audio is in)
- Time to first laugh
- Premise density and punch-to-setup ratio
- Tag efficiency per premise
- Pace, pauses and word economy
The curriculum
- 01
Structure
Where the set is actually built and where it's just talking.
- 02
Openers
Buy trust in the first thirty seconds or spend the set earning it back.
- 03
Middles
The part everyone neglects and every audience feels.
- 04
Closers
End on the biggest thing, not the last thing you wrote.
- 05
Callbacks
Payoffs the room is set up to remember.
- 06
Cutting
The most reliable rewrite is deletion.
Audio and video analysis land in Phase 5. Text analysis comes first because most sets die on the page.
