Why not? You'd have to get use to criticism eventually and people here could tell you what you need to work on or something. I've never laughed at any standup I've seen.

You should record your routine on webcam, I'm sure we can all relate to some of your stories.

if you planning on getting a tv show you shouldnt have any issues or recording yourself, ESPECIALLY because if it is a sucess, having your first ever public appearance on tape could be worth serious big bucks in the future !!!

I used to critique my roommates act for him when he did the whole open mike deal. If you want someone to seriously check it out for you just PM me.

if you can't even videotape yourself for a bunch of random people you'll never meet...well, good luck doing it on stage in front of a bunch of people who are staring you in the eyes.

On the flip side a live crowd is (hopefully) going to be laughing at his jokes, whereas is he records it he will get crickets every time. I don't do standup, but I imagine it's not easy to go through a routine with no laughter.

I did standup a few times... it's kinda fun, but I realized in order to be successful you need to devote A LOT of time and effort.
I'm too lazy to even be a standup comedian. (that was one of my jokes)
I took a $90 class at a community college about it. I took the class to learn about the writing aspects, and just to check out the scene. 80% of the class were absolutely unfunny people. Watching them do their routines in class was difficult.
But, everyone laughed at my stuff and the guy running the class booked a few of us at a sports bar. I did three nights, and by the third night I had my routine down and was even fucking with the audience... of like 30 people mind you.
Overall, it was fun but required too much time... And I never bombed only doing 3 shows. I hear the EVERYONE bombs eventually, and I'm not sure how my sensitive side might take it.
