hi
i'm quiet i'm steve martin and welcome
to masterclass
i was talking to some students and they
were saying things like how do i get an
agent where do i get my head shots and i
just thought
shouldn't the first thing you're
thinking about is how do i
be good
[Music]
i have a little bit of a pet peeve for
comedians who come out and say
how we doing tonight you're blown one of
the most important moments
of your show say i'm sorry we're out of
the fridge sorry
what we're going to talk about a lot of
things we're going to talk about
my specific process thank you
[Music]
hey move that over there we're going to
talk about writing
editing is one of your most powerful
tools
see that bit's not working it's gone the
next night
now what gets the laugh whenever it's
the word
that gets the laugh i always question it
an ultimate goal of mine is to work
clean
well then you should take off
i never actually thought i was funny you
may think
i don't have any talent i guarantee you
i
had no talent none
remember you are a thought machine
everything you see hear experience
is usable oh what oh
whatever makes you unique as a performer
do it
and know that there's room for you hey
