Rehearsal time

My biggest mistake during my half-hour show was relying on my notes. I remember when I first started doing stand-up comedy I promised myself not to use notes. It was not to be. This time, I am giving up notes once and for all. Instead of being addicted using my notes, I choose to be addicted to memorizing my jokes. I've always believed the best way to excel at something was to do it every day. That's why I've been writing every day for over a year now. And this is why I started rehearsing every day for over a month now. I've stopped using notes on stage since and I haven't been happier. Knowing my set by heart allows me to stop at any time in my act to interact with the audience as many time as I want and then pick up exactly where I left off. My one advice is to not rehearse the same set day in and day out because it is just too mind-numbingly dull. Instead, I've split up my next half-hour show into 6 five minute sets. Every day I reherase a different set. My goal is to keep things diverse just enough to keep my brain interested. The rest will take care of itself.
