I don’t know Thomas Høgsted, but I’ve been told this story about some sound advice he gave to a new comic after the guy’s first 5 minutes at an Open Mic.

The new guy had done alright — especially for a first-timer. And after the show he asked around for some good advice from his more experienced, new colleagues. The advice Thomas gave were these. One. Just do the jokes, you’d like to. Other comedians will tell you to do this and that, but always stick to what you find funny. Two. Practice, practice, practice. Be on stage every week and just really never not think about jokes. Three. Watch as much Martin Lawrence as possible.
