The one cardinal rule in standup comedy
DO NOT STEAL OTHER PEOPLE'S JOKES
Don't steal. Just don't. Don't even "borrow" or "rephrase." It's never cool, and it will end your career as a stand-up very quickly. If you ever think you might be lifting a joke from another comic -- even if it's unintentionally or subconsciously or whatever -- just drop the joke. It's not worth being labeled as a thief and a hack, which is ultimately what could happen.#ExtractsfromPatrickBromely #Howtobreakintostandupcomedy
