how to ✍️ write a joke
To write a joke there's three sections..
1.SUBJECT: a subject is a topic or conversation piece.
2. SETUP: set up lines are lines said that will lead in to the punchline or words used to lead to the punchline.
3. PUNCHLINE: a punchline is something said or something did to create laughter.
When a ventriloquist write a joke it's called a dialogue, when a comedian write a joke it's called a monologue... a dialogue is a conversation between two actors or sometimes the ventriloquist uses two ventriloquist characters at the same time this dialogue becomes what ventriloquists call a double talk dialogue.
When writing the subject, you want to lead the listener into the conversation.. when you lead the listener into to the topic they can follow along in the subject matter, this means the the ventriloquist can mention the weather π‘️☁️ mention the weather will take the next line into the setup line the setup line will lead towards the punchlines..a punchline can be used with out words also, the punchline is what is said or done to make laughter.
Writing your very own scripts of jokes will take some time to create your own ventriloquist joke file so if you like to buy joke books "buy" it will help you in building your Ventriloquist joke file. the reason I said buy is because when you steal or barrow or uses other people written jokes it will give you a discredit, this means if that joke is very successful the owner of that written joke will get the honors and not you and maybe the owner reactions may not be a positive outcome for your Ventriloquist career, but when you purchase or buy jokes you are the owner, yes getting jokes from the library humor section is okay and I wouldn't trust using jokes from online or social media..the best and safe advice I can give you is stay in this school to learn how to write your very own Ventriloquist act, this school doesn't create "COPIES" this is all about creating original artists but I must give you both sides of the coin πͺ heads or tails you choose your choice.
After using a joke in your very own ventriloquist act you will see how the audience responds to the joke if you feel that the joke should have gotten more laughs, try it again on a different day because sometimes audiences are moody that's why reading the room is important.. you may have six people in the audience of twenty that is not in the mood for comedy by reading the room you can cheer up the six people with just a friendly acknowledgement or giving them friendly attention during the performance so maybe keep that in mind that maybe you have good jokes with some or a few moody audience members.. remember do not be judgemental if someone do not think your jokes are funny to them, the reason some ventriloquists are singing Ventriloquist acts is because a comedy team ventriloquist act is more difficult, when I say difficult that means we all have different sense of humor π what might be funny to one wife might not be funny to her husband what might be funny to a classroom full of students might not be funny to the teacher bring us to the "SUBJECT" when the subject is brought up the listener is all ears if they're interested in the subject now you the ventriloquist has the audience attention, leaning in to the setup line then WHAM!BAM! π€― with the punchlines.. remember that the punchlines from the Ventriloquist character can be the forbidden fruit, the Ventriloquist character punchlines can be words said human beings can not say for laughter but remember the ventriloquist must be the authority figure for ventriloquist character, speaking of that I've seen ventriloquists just let their Ventriloquist character run wild, the ventriloquist just standing briefly checking his Ventriloquist character behavior from time to time, this ventriloquist act is one of my favorite Ventriloquist acts they are the comedy team name Otto and George, the ventriloquist act that left audiences with their jaws on the floor, you asked for it and Otto and George gave it to you!
Writing your own material is not only going to be for writing your scripts but if or when you ever decide to retire your Ventriloquist career those joke files can be used for publishing in your retirement.. performers will need comedy material and jokes, your Ventriloquist joke file cabinet π️ can provide that need.. so please do not trash your Ventriloquist scripts, beginner Ventriloquist need ventriloquist joke materials from a tested ventriloquist act not a joke writer that specialize in monologues.so yes even after retirement from the stage or performing your Ventriloquist act you can still be active in the art of ventriloquism with your Ventriloquist act.
Continue to write ✍️ and think π€ goofy π€ͺ thoughts for your Ventriloquist character lines and you should create some original content of your very own Ventriloquist act. in your Ventriloquist act You are the authority figure so remember to give the serious lines to the Ventriloquist and the not serious lines to the Ventriloquist character.
demo script below give a popular subject,the Ventriloquist bring up the topic of football because someone mentioned that the Ventriloquist character was the quarterback on the team, the Ventriloquist character no longer is the quarterback leading to the setup line, this conversation lead the listener down a funny path leaving the Ventriloquist to slowly catch up with the conversation so a script like this is actually talking to the audience through the Ventriloquist character. The audience knows what a center position is and a quarterback position is on a football team and they know what bean burrito do for some people so audience is cought up in a imaginary story waiting for the punchline.
π script demo below π π π π π π π
"THE CENTER?"
Ventriloquist: some one told me you that are the quarter back on your foot ball team...
Ventriloquist character: yes but I couldn't be the quarter back any longer..
Ventriloquist: why not?...
Ventriloquist character: because of bean burrito joe! That's why NOT!
Ventriloquist: who is bean burrito joe?
Ventriloquist character: he's the kid on the foot ball team that eat beans burrito morning noon and night!
Ventriloquist: what's wrong with that, bean burritos are healthy.
Ventriloquist character: yeah bean burrito joe is very healthy!
Ventriloquist character: I don't think that was a good reason for you not wanting to be your football team quarterback, tell me the real reason why you no longer want to be the quarterback?
Ventriloquist character: okay it's because only bean burrito joe could play center position, I tried to beg the coach to find some one else to play center (crying) my coach said bean burrito joe is the best player for the center position(crying)...
Ventriloquist: you're really serious aren't you..
Ventriloquist character: yes, it was torture for me the whole football season!...
Ventriloquist: I didn't realize it was that bad, I understand that you're the quarterback, bean burrito joe is the center, and the center is the player that hikes the football to the quarterback, what could be so awful about that?
Ventriloquist character:bean burrito joe farts are AWFUL!!
Ventriloquist: his what are awful?..(misunderstanding what Ventriloquist character just said)..
Ventriloquist character: my nose was playing center too!...
Ventriloquist: your nose?...
Ventriloquist character: the center of bean burrito joe smelly butt! (Cry)
Ventriloquist: (comfort Ventriloquist character) I am sorry, I understand, it's going to be okay.
