A Post-Bomb Recovery Plan

from The Funny Muscle Podcast · host Mike Lukas and Chris Stiffler

What do you do after a bomb? This week, Mike breaks down the difference between a joke bombing, an open mic bombing, and a full-scale set meltdown in front of a real audience, sharing the lessons he's learned from all three. We talk about the productive and unproductive ways to dwell on failure, how long you should let it bother you, and when it's time to stop sulking, start analyzing, get blue-printing and turn disaster into improvement.
