Advice to young comics. When you first get out on stage, open with a joke or humorous anecdote to break the ice. Then go into your act.

Problem I have with The Joker movie. It gives the idea that if a comedian continually fails to make an audience laugh, he's going to go on a killing spree to get revenge against society. If that was the case, @toddbarry would be Pol Pot. But haven't seen it yet so won't judge.
