055 SHOWCASE SET REVIEW [podcast]

In episode 052 we discussed strategies for picking your material for different types of showcase sets. The funniest? The most unique? The most jam packed set of jokes? Everyone approaches it differently. In this episode, we listen back to a showcase set and analyze what went right, wrong and what changes were made on the fly to make it flow best.

Joining me on this episode is Jonnie W., who you may remember from episode 035. Jonnie was at the showcase and had a good look at the set live. It was unique, for sure. Not exactly your typical comedy club set up. We talk about:

Showroom dynamics
Crowd lighting
My invasive dyslexia
Calling audibles
Voice choices
Winning over a crowd
Crowd expectations
Jokes you drop on purpose
Call backs
Rule of threes
Misdirection

and a lot, lot more.
