Skloog.com 10 things no one tells you about stand-up comedy 3. You have to ignore the critics If you want to be a successful comedian, don’t worry about making the nerdy critics who lurk at the back of gigs with their little pens laugh. Concentrate on the people who have actually paid for their tickets. A good review is nice for the ego, but word of mouth is the best PR and a sold-out gig will pay the mortgage. 4.

When it comes to the Internet, I imagine it as the warehouse where the Ark is archived at the end of Indiana Jones – Raiders of the Lost Ark. The Ark is that outstanding content someone has produced and that no other will be able to see again, because it is forgotten and hidden between gazillions of other contents. Apart from the gigantic volume of pages present in the Internet, for a long time, search spam has been making the discovery of reliable sources difficult; and – let's be honest – Social Media has enhanced this issue, because it added even more noise and dispersion.
