Improv, Joke Writing, & Connecting With Your Audience

Heyyyo! It’s Episode #54 of the “Messed-Up To Set-Ups” Podcast. In this episode, I chat with CA-based comedian, John Schaefer, and we get into his fascinating journey from improv to stand-up comedy. We discuss how years of improvisation shaped John’s unique comedic style and the challenges he faced transitioning to the stand-up stage. Along the way, we also talk about the art of joke writing and the importance of audience connection. This episode, Part 1 of 2, offers a behind-the-scenes look at one man’s journey into stand-up comedy. Tune in for laughs, stories, and a deeper understanding of what it takes to make people laugh in a room full of strangers.Also, if you’re interested in joke writing or trying to do stand-up, you should definitely check out my online class “The Joke Writer’s Lab,” which has over 4.5 hours of content.
