How
Do I Put on My Own
Comedy Show?
A comedy show is different from any other
type of entertainment your venue can offer. It's more of an event
than the usual band or karaoke night. There is a certain psychology
to a comedy show that requires following a few simple rules to make
it a success. MORE

One of the most neglected aspects of stand-up
comedy shows is the introduction. What most comics just don't realize
is that the introduction itself is already the very beginning of
their show. And yet, as critical an opportunity as it may be, it
usually gets ignored or simply relegated to the Emcee to supply.
