How to Heighten Your Bits

Mike sees it all the time at open mics: a new comic does a good bit but leaves it under-developed.  That 20 second joke could turn into 3 great minutes of material if the open mic-er would learn to use what Mike has dubbed the “humor heightening devices.”   In this episode, Chris (@econ_comic) brings a fresh joke idea to Mike (@mlukas1111) who then runs it through the humor heightening devices to produce more and more material.  We see techniques like anthropomorphizing, extension, exaggeration, different perspectives and bait and switch. This episode will give you a hands-on look at the humor heightening devices in action.  *** If you enjoy the podcast, be sure to give us a share, like, and follow! Thanks :)
