That New Joke Smell: 3,650 joke attempts in public
Comedian Brian Carter documents a year-long challenge to write ten new jokes a day, showing drafts, rewrites, feedback, and stage tests.
- For
- Comedy writers and workplace event planners
- Worth noticing
- A sample tracks one premise from observation through raw draft and rewrite, with its stage test still marked pending.
Field notes
The example begins with “My calendar has more boundaries than I do,” then shows a raw draft and a rewritten version before marking the stage test pending. The page describes reusable comedy principles—including tension, contrast, status, language, and absurdity—and says AI may help explore angles without replacing the writer’s observation, taste, or revision. A separate private-beta waitlist is mentioned for structured exercises and prompts.
