Stand-Up Comedy Analyzer

What is Stand-Up Comedy Analyzer?

Stand-Up Comedy Analyzer is an AI tool that grades your stand-up set from a video the way a veteran comic and coach would, then tells you the one change that will get bigger laughs. You upload a clip of your set, from an open mic to a polished tight five, and the AI reads your joke construction, your timing, your pacing, your act-outs, your crowd work, your stage presence, and your tags and callbacks. Stand-up is brutal because the feedback is instant and merciless, but in the moment it's hard to know whether a bit died because the joke was weak, the punchline came too fast, or you talked over the laugh. This tool separates those out. It rates each part of your set out of 10, identifies the specific faults holding you back, rushing punchlines, no pauses, weak tags, low energy, telegraphing, and tells you which one to fix first. New comics especially tend to step on their own laughs and bury punchlines, and seeing that named clearly is often the unlock. The point isn't to make you a different comic, it's to get the material you already have to land the way it should.

How Stand-Up Comedy Analyzer Works

Upload a video of your set, ideally one where you can hear the room so the AI can tell what's landing. It listens to your jokes and watches your delivery, then breaks the set down: are your setups and premises doing their job, do your punchlines actually pay off, and crucially, do you hold for the laugh or talk over it. It reads your pacing across the whole set for dead spots and rushing, looks at your act-outs and physicality, notes crowd work when it happens, and checks whether you're squeezing tags and callbacks out of your bits. From there it lists the specific faults and rates each by severity, then isolates the single highest-leverage fix, the one that's quietly costing you the most laughs, and explains exactly what to do differently. It finishes with a few drills you can run between mics. Adding notes about your set length, your comedic style, and what you think isn't landing makes the read much more useful.

Benefits of Stand-Up Comedy Analyzer

• Get a veteran comic's read on your set in seconds without waiting for the one honest friend at the open mic.
• Find out whether a bit died from a weak joke, a rushed punchline, or talking over the laugh.
• See each part of your set scored, from joke construction and timing to stage presence and tags.
• Catch the rookie killers, rushing punchlines and stepping on your own laughs, that you can't feel in the moment.
• Get the one priority fix instead of ten notes, so your next set actually improves.
• Practice with targeted drills tied to your specific weakness rather than generic advice.
• Track progress by uploading a new set after working the fix and watching the score move.

Tips for Best Results

• Upload a set where the room's reactions are audible, since the laughs (or silence) tell the AI a lot.
• Add notes about your set length and comedic style so the feedback fits the kind of comedy you're doing.
• Film the whole set rather than your best minute, because pacing and energy problems show up across the full run.
• Be honest in your notes about which bits feel weak, so the analysis can confirm or challenge your read.
• Work the single priority fix at your next few mics before moving on to the next note.
• Pay special attention to the timing feedback, since holding for the laugh is the most common fix and the highest leverage.
• Re-record after tightening your punchlines to see whether the laughs and the score both climbed.

Popular Use Cases

• New comics at open mics trying to figure out why bits that read funny on paper aren't landing.
• Comedians prepping a tight five for a showcase or audition who need an honest pre-check.
• Performers working on timing and pauses, the hardest skill to self-assess in the moment.
• Comics polishing crowd work and act-outs who want feedback on commitment and clarity.
• Writers with strong material that isn't translating to the stage and want to know why.
• Anyone between mics who wants a drill to run before the next set instead of guessing.
• Hobbyists building toward their first real set who want structured feedback they can act on.
