The primary means of producing comedy material and making it funny is
by using "joke formulas."
Jokes are developed one at a time on paper. The more jokes you write,
the more "good" ones you will "find."
If you tell a story, you are not doing stand-up. Stories are not jokes
and they don't work on the stand-up comedy stage.
Who you are on stage is some sort of other character - it's not really
you.
Success in stand-up is largely dependent on having a unique or
original look, hook, persona, character, presence, point of view, or
anything thing else that will make you stand out from the rest of the
comedians.
You can "learn" to become funny or funnier than you really are.
It takes many years to become a funny comedian on stage.
