Do not belittle your audience. Or alienate (also can be read as: "pick on") them. Or bore them.
Don't steal material. Incorporate influences, alright, but make it believable through the character you present yourself as on stage. Also, create funnies that have actually happened to you, with a side of embellishment, if you wish, and more often than not, you'll have trusted followers in no time.
Last thing:
I cannot stress this enough - please do not stutter, mumble or hesitate if you get flustered. It only takes a matter of seconds in time before you get that long crook around your neck, and you rarely see it coming. Go. with. flow.
