Learning from Stand-Up

This 500-word satire follows a fake academic course called �Stand-Up 101: Crying in Public with Timing.� Students are graded on mic drop technique and surviving open mics without joining a cult. Features a fictional professor who requires all punchlines to be delivered while balancing on a yoga ball. Advice includes watching hecklers as rare wildlife: unpredictable, loud, but occasionally insightful. Ends with: �Stand-up teaches one thing above all�if you can�t be funny, at least be brave and blame the audience.� HOW TO WRITE COMEDY: https://comedywriter.info/learning-from-stand-up/ AND http://comedywriter.info/
