#85 Your Opener Is a First Date
From The Funny Podcast · 09:14
Show by Ahammed Emteaz LLC
Our guest has spent years learning that the first minute of a set works like a first date. Be too eager and you scare people off. Be too cold and nobody stays for dessert. This week we talk about rivalries with other comics, touring in cities where your material doesn't travel, the audience you lose on purpose, and the bit you're afraid to put in your own showcase. We argue about whether comics should compete with each other, whether you can ever be too old for a certain kind of joke, and what a bad review teaches you that a good one never will. Plenty of laughs, a few honest confessions, and one question you can ask yourself whether you're on stage or just telling a story at dinner. #comedy #comedyinterviews #funnypodcast #standup #humor
