Successful comedians use daily life for the basis of routines. Look around you. Look at your own life. How can you twist a real life situation into something funny?

Each standup routine usually follows a single thread and weaves stories that relate to that thread. Rodney Dangerfield is a classic example.

Rent every comedy video you can find and watch for the thread in each. It's there. Find yours and you will never lack for funny bits.
