The only thing I really recommend, if you're starting out in stand-up is to not try to copy anybody else. You can be influenced by people.

While I was doing stand-up, I thought I knew for sure that success meant getting everyone to like me. So I became whoever I thought people wanted me to be. I'd say yes when I wanted to say no, and I even wore a few dresses. ↗
