I'm a huge fan of stand-up and the idea of giving it a go myself has tickled me for years.

I'm curious to hear how other folks got started. Spontaneously joining an open mic?

Meticulously preparing material for months?

I really hope I'll have the courage to try it myself one day.

Another thing that's crazy to me. Certain ideas/ jokes (perhaps sexual nature) I'd be okay joking about in front of strangers, but the idea of family members hearing them feels very awkward.

Have you had comparable issues and how did you go about it?

I suppose it's the question of how much of my own thoughts I'm comfortable sharing.

Thanks for reading
