I recently discovered a game-changing approach to testing comedy material by identifying and targeting people who already share my sense of humor. This scientific method for joke development has dramatically improved my stand-up performance and writing efficiency.
• Find individuals who already have your sense of humor to test material on
• Use the scientific method for comedy: hypothesis, test, analyze, improve or discard
• My ideal audience includes police officers, military personnel, and first responders
• People with similar backgrounds often share similar humor sensibilities
• When testing jokes, you only get one true "first impression" with each person
• Multiple tests with different people help determine if a joke is trending toward success
• Target your specific audience first – anyone else who laughs is a bonus
• This approach applies to many pursuits beyond comedy
