Don’t explain your joke. Don’t treat the audience like they’re dumb. Fewer syllables are funnier. And more...
dear matt,
great piece!
i love this advice from andi whiskey: "Don’t treat the audience like they’re dumb. Act like you both share a little secret and the secret is you both get the joke without having to explain it"
thanks for sharing!

So what would you recommend as an open mic comic to actually test material? Basically open mics are just getting comfortable on stage ya saying?
Test and don’t believe everything you get back in response. And get in front of real crowds however you can.
