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.

Men with secrets tend to be drawn to each other, not because they want to share what they know but because they need the company of the like-minded, the fellow afflicted. ↗

I guess I had it made. My mother gave me advice - she taught me that women like to be looked in the eye - and my grandmother gave me condoms. ↗
