My argument boils down to "don't call it stand-up." And I think this basic argument still jives with your counters.
What's the title? "Live Stand-Up Comedy from Home"
What's the domain name? comedyfromhome.com
If years ago you were to call this "TikTok" and the idea is that people would do funny videos from home, I would be all for it.
Come up with a name and a marketing angle which isn't trying to tell me that this is stand-up comedy, but from home. Make it a bit more open-ended. Give me some room to work within your platform. Don't box me in by telling everyone this is "stand up comedy, but from home." IMO, the service would be crippling me. People don't understand how much effort is involved in coming up with even a 5 minute solid set. That's the launching point of a career.
If you're going to put the effort into writing a book, you're going to put in the effort to find the right publishing path. Anything else would be a major risk to the success of that effort.
This is not the platform you're looking for. </jedi mind trick>
- danenania 7y agoAgain, fair enough, but you are just one person with a strong opinion. Are you sure that your feelings about the word "standup" can be generalized to comedy fans as a whole? Maybe others will see it differently. It doesn't need to get 100% of live comedy fans to be a success.
