Warming Up a Cold Crowd - The Funny Muscle Podcast

What this episode covers

Forty years ago, the emcee of a comedy show would likely have been the most experienced comedian, who didn’t need any help capturing an audience. Today’s model, however, has a newer comic playing that role. So being skilled at warming up a cold crowd is an important skill for a new comic. Mike walks us through some tactics on how to get an audience’s attention before springing jokes on them. The best advice might be to think of warming up a crowd like foreplay. *** If you enjoy the podcast, be sure to give us a share, like, and follow! Thanks :)
