How do I be successful on being a stand up comedian?

First off, be current on any and all info in the news, around town, in the media, etc. Look for the irony in things, stories, comments or anything. Look at everything in and about life from many different perspectives and capitolize on the humor in it. Once you get enough material then work on your presentation and delivery. If you are comfortable with that then next try it out in a club on open mike night. Good luck!

Study comedy and then stand up and try to make people laugh.  It's very hard and people won't hesitate to sigh with boredom or boo out loud.\n\nWhen you can handle that, you've mastered the skill of takiung rejection lightly.

Take a class.  Dancing, cooking and comedy classes are good because you are going to interact with others whether or not you make much of an effort.  \n\nCooking classes have limited male competition, too.  And who doesn't eat food?\n\nComedy classes might force you to come out of your shell a little bit.  (Or a lot of bit.)\n\nGetting involved with your (or a) church (if you are into that) can also be great.  You'll probably meet some very nice women there and they'll be a little more approachable.\n\nIf you are athletic (or want to be) try something like Team In Training.  Great people flock to groups like this, time spent is for a great cause and tons of fun.  Check out their website below for a chapter near you--they are all over the U.S. and in other countries as well.\n\nWomen in general don't seem to mind shy guys as long as the guy is confident and has a sense of humor.  Everyone really just wants to laugh.  There are some great books out there.  \n\nLastly, every single guy in the world should check out "The Game" by Neil Strauss.  At worst, it's good for a few laughs.  But it tells some great success stories of shy guys who had trouble meeting women and overcame it. Good luck!

Concentrate on what you have to say\nand not how you think you look saying it.\nPRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.  When you\nbegin, like a pitcher on the mound,\ntake a breath, and put everything into\nthe delivery.  Think ONLY about what you\nhave to say and try to say it as sincerely\nas you can without overdoing voice or \ngestures.  Look at the audience, but only\nto convince them.  And just like a pitcher\non the mound, the more you do it, the easier\nit gets.

Watch what others do and copy their style.\n\nBe well briefed (so you can contribure rather than just talk).\n\nTake a strong view on issues before the meeting so you know what side youre on.\n\nAgree with others and provide support ("John makes a good point and i think..")\n\nLike presentations practice - years ago when i was real nervous about job interview and presentations I practiced in front of a mirror, years later my wife helped by acting as the audience - it was terribly cringe-worthy and i hated it but it did work (i think its called desensitised). After so many meets youre glad someone else wants to voice something so go for it. Howeber bad it gets (stumbling over words etc) its better than sitting in the corner! Enjoy \nRobert :-)

I think that humor is key.  If you can make her laugh that usually is enough for her to let down her defenses.  Be animated, original, and confident.  That should get her to speak.

Do you mean put your foot in your mouth lol.\n\nIt's not so hard and people will be forgiving if you make a mistake, most of them wouldn't be able to get up there and do it either. I had to read some of my poetry at a festival, it took three tries before I could do it, but when I did everyone clapped and cheered.

The first thing is networking. Command a  large and rich social circle.\nYour personality, lifestyle, charisma and selling skills

If you mean how to talk in front of a crowd, I'm pretty good at it.  Just know your material, stand confidently, speak confidently, and look around at different people instead of honing in on just one person.  Here's a trick:  just pretend.  Pretend you are a good speaker and you will be.  It is sort of like an out-of-body experience.

Sing the "Cheesy Poofs" song. (South Park) "I like Cheesy Poofs..." \n\nDo you have time for a skit? Do the Monty Python "Cheese Shop" skit.\n\nSet up a giant cheese prop, with a sign which reads, "To Cut Cheese, Pull Finger".  Oh, you will have to rig a prop finger to a fart machine.\n\nSurreptitiously, strategically place chunks of Limburger around the room.  Have someone offstage make loud farts.  (Who cut the cheese?)\n\nWhat kind of cheesy routine are you doing?  More details would help you get more suggestions.\n\n(Added)  Oh, now you post details after I posted.  \n\nMay I suggest you study the works of Lenny Bruce? He was the king of working a room. Nothing is sacred, damn the torpedoes! \n\nAlso study George Carlin.  George is simply outrageous,\nand for George, nothing is too small, too big or too holy to go un-pun-ished (groan, groan.)\n\nMusically talented?  Try some Tom Lehrer songs!\n\nOr, more cheesy one liners -- Rodney Dangerfield.\n\nTacky?  Hmm, so many, and I don't like most of 'em. Can't help you there.  Andrew Dice Clay?  Can't get much tackier, rude and offensive than that.  Might get you booed off the stage, suspended from school, your car keyed, your home TP'ed, and your ass sued for just plain bad taste and piss-poor judgement.  But, it damned sure is tacky.  \n\nDisclaimer:  AD Clay is an asshole.  Source:  AD Clay is an asshole.

Write a book on your travels with your photographs. Write a book on the life of a comedian, how much work it is, how much fun it can be, that sort of thing. Start be keeping a journal everyday.

start with easy things,start talking to people in your class,your face and mimics are alson important.looking puzzled in a funny way or laughing to their jokes would work.and having a special joke really works,something that only you two would understand and laugh at.

Be assertive, self-confident, and don't back down from anything.  Of course, this is on top of actually being a hard worker and producing positive results in your work.  I've noticed through experience that being funny also works, but make sure everyone's laughing with you - not at you.
