A good way to write a stand up performance is to make a list. Write down any jokes that you like to tell and sort them into categories such as food, celebrities, life, children, crazy people, animals, drugs, etc. As your lists grow, you will be able to pick out a theme that will give you enough material to write an entire performance. Choose your list.
After choosing your list, work on adding as many jokes as you can. Practice different jokes among a plethora of people like coworkers, family, friends, and strangers you meet. If your jokes are situational, test them out on these people. For instance, if you have a joke about crazy people in an elevator, be that crazy person and see how the people react. Then, tell your friends.
This system will help you to brainstorm, eliminate, and perfect your material.
Good luck!!
