Standup comedy is a personal development course in action, according to our host, Linda Schwartz. Her comedy is a work in progress, as is she, but she’s sharing her (cringeworthy) experiences to help you improve, too.

On the last episode of She Shed Comedy, we dissected Linda’s tight five from her 2022 Pretty Funny Women show. Today, we’re taking a look at her seven-minute set, so get ready for some laughs and a few lessons!

Perhaps one of the most important things to remember about crafting a set is that the time of a set isn’t how much time you actually have. This is comedy, after all, so you’ll need to pause to leave room for laughs.

From “trimming the fat” to adding new jokes, Linda was able to achieve more cohesion and expand her set from five minutes to seven minutes. She’ll explain how she did it by deconstructing the changes she made, and why she made them.

Linda also discusses her favorite way to end a set, listening to the audience, and her fears sharing these sets. Hear all this and more on this episode!

Topics discussed in this episode:

  • Linda’s tight five from the Pretty Funny Women show

  • Linda’s seven-minute set expanded from the tight five

  • Linda explains what changes were made and why

  • The new jokes added to the seven-minute set

  • Paying attention to where people are laughing

  • Following the line of logic

  • Ending your set with a callback

  • The importance of not rushing your set

  • Sets are a work in progress

  • Reflecting on a Jim Carrey quote

  • Linda’s self-care prompt, personal prompt, and comedy prompt for the week
