028 CREATING A STAND-UP COMEDY SET THAT FLOWS [podcast]

There is a bit of a science to creating a stand-up comedy set that flows. It takes a little planning to put together a show that starts quick, builds momentum, and finishes with a closer that rocks the room. A pile of great jokes performed in a haphazard order will frustrate both you and the audience. This episode is a must listen for comics who: Only have a few jokes and can't seem to decide what order is best Are more established but constantly find "dead spots" in their show Any comedian who struggles with consistency on stage despite decent material In this episode we talk about building a set that flows naturally. By thinking in advance about your shows you can create a logical flow that enables every joke to shine. Knowing what your jokes say about you is a big part of that. We cover a lot of ground in this episode that took years for me to fully understand. Specifically, we talk about: Building trust and establishing common ground Establishing your point of view (P.O.V.) What to do if you don't have a strong P.O.V. just yet Looking for chances to add lines to call back later How to bring it all full circle What you should consider in your closing routine If you enjoy this PODCAST please subscribe in iTunes , or  STITCHER and leave a comment and ranking. ===   NEVER MISS A PODCAST OR A POST   Subscribe to the bi-monthly School of Laughs “Insider Tips” newsletter and get exclusive information delivered right to your inbox. The tip sheet is full of comedy news, blog recaps, podcast summaries and a monthly challenge to get your comedy career on the right track.
