Tip No. 16: Be the Comedian You Wanted to See, Be the comedian you wanted to see.Think about the things that you wished someone made jokes about when you sat in the audience. Make a list of topics and ideas that you’d be excited to see someone discuss. Become that comedian. You’ve got 30 years.
Gary’s thoughts on Tip No. 16: This one can guide every decision and choice you make regarding your jokes, your act, and behavior on and off stage.
提示16：當一個你想看到的喜劇演員
當一個你想看到的喜劇演員。想想看當你是觀眾時，你想看到台上演員開什麼事情的玩笑？
把你最有興趣、最希望聽到別人討論的那些主題或想法寫下來，成為那樣的喜劇演員，你可以走30年。
Gary對提示16的想法：這個提示可以引導你對於笑話、表演、或是行為的每個決定跟選擇
Tip No. 37: My favorite writer Kurt Vonnegut said he wrote for an audience of one, his sister Alice. I write for a 21-year-old me. Today, think about your ideal audience member. This should help you narrow your writing focus and help you find your voice.
提示37：
我最愛的作家Kurt Vonnegut說過他只為了一個觀眾而寫，就是他姐姐Alice。我是為了21歲的我。現在，想想看你的理想觀眾類型，這可以幫助你找到寫作方向，找到你的聲音
Tip No. 113: Be aware of the constraints your appearance may put on jokes. For example, if you’re really attractive, it can be hard to convince the audience that you’re having a hard time finding a date. Wearing expensive clothes will contradict claims of poverty.
提示113：小心你外表對你笑話的限制。比如說，如果你超帥/漂亮，就很難說服觀眾說你找不到約會對象。穿得一身名牌就很難跟別人說你很窮。
Tip No. 211: “The world makes way for the man who knows where he is going.” — Emerson. Where are you going? Define your mission. Be specific. It will guide how you spend your time.
提示211：「如果你知道你的方向，世界會幫你開路。」－Emerson。你要去哪裡？明確地定義你的去向，這會引導你如何運用你的時間。
Tip No. 228: Assuming a persona/character onstage? Once again, Kurt Vonnegut says it perfectly: “We are what we pretend to be, so we must be very careful what we pretend to be.” — Mother Night.
提示228：建立一個舞台上的人設？再一次，Kurt Vonnegut說得很好：「我們假扮的人就是我們，所以我們要非常小心地去假扮我們想假扮的人。」－Mother Night.
Tip No. 242: In 2018, I struggled during an early iteration of The Great Depresh. The club manager showed me negative comment cards, one of which said: “DON’T TALK ABOUT DEPRESSION!!!” Don’t ever let one audience decide the fate of a joke or your path.
提示242：2018年，我在表演我的專場The Great Depresh遇到了瓶頸，俱樂部的主管給我看觀眾寫的負面意見，有一個寫「不要再談憂鬱症了！」別讓一個觀眾決定你笑話的命運或是你的方向。
Tip No. 280: I think in order to become other people’s favorite comedian you have to strive to be your own favorite comedian. This means enjoying your topics, your takes, your presentation. Am I my favorite? Close, I’m right behind Todd Glass and Brian Regan.
提示280：要成為別人最喜歡的喜劇演員前，你要先全力成為你自己最喜歡的喜劇演員。這代表著要喜愛你談論的話題，你的看法，你的表現方式。我是我最愛的演員了嗎？接近了，我就快追上Todd Glass 跟 Brian Regan了
Tip No. 356: Don’t compromise your beliefs to get a laugh. I’ve done it and I cringe at the memory. You didn’t get into this to suppress your identity. Have faith that you’ll think of something more honest.
提示356：不要為了笑聲跟你的信念妥協。我曾經試過，而我不敢再回想起那段回憶。你不是為了壓抑自己才入這行的。保持自己的信念才能講出你自己也確信的話。
