Summary

Understanding your comedy style is a crucial aspect of developing as a stand-up comedian. It begins with analyzing the content you're drawn to, whether it's observational humor, personal anecdotes, social commentary, or absurdist concepts. Your delivery style is equally important - are you naturally deadpan, high-energy, conversational, or theatrical? 
  
Consider the persona you present on stage. This could be an exaggerated version of yourself, a completely different character, or simply your authentic self. Your writing style also plays a key role - do you prefer snappy one-liners, elaborate stories, or a mix of both? 
  
Identifying comedians who influence you can provide insights into your own style. Pay attention to which parts of your set get the strongest reactions from the audience, as this can highlight your strengths. Note the topics or styles that feel most natural to you, but also be open to experimenting with different approaches.
