Hey, I’ve run the numbers in my head a few times and it turns out the math is simpler than a comedy routine. Think of it like a coin flip—if you toss a joke, there's a 50‑percent chance it lands, but you can add a dash of common sense, audience vibes, and a little timing to tip the odds in your favor. So the formula is basically: good material plus good timing over bad material plus bad timing. Just remember, the real trick is to keep the audience on your side, and if you ever feel you’re stuck, just flip a “knock-knock” joke and watch the tension melt away.
