Episode notes
Country Club Gig Came From Asking
- Joe and Yoshi performed at a country club after a referral from another club and treated it like a paid gig.
- They emphasized thinking outside comedy clubs and proactively asking venues or contacts for opportunities.
Beat Slumps By Lowering The Bar
- When you're in a writing slump, lower the bar and write for the sake of practice instead of forcing jokes.
- Journal, make lists, or join a daily prompt (like their Write 10 club) to keep the muscle active.
Practice Timing With Pauses And Distractions
- Rehearse your set at home with pauses where you expect laughs and practice speaking slowly.
- Simulate distractions (drive, radio, run) so stage interruptions don't derail your timing.
