Know Your Audience | How To Be A Working Comic #36

A comedian was confused about cancel culture and doing a "clean" act. Two recent shows were stopped because his material was considered offensive and not what the audiences expected. Most working comics rely on experience to avoid these situations - and advice from a legendary comedian even spelled it out word-for-word. He won't be quoted since "clean" is a key word in this episode, but I'll share thoughts on how aspiring comedians (on the way to becoming all-powerful headliners) can gain more valuable on-stage experience and the importance of knowing your audience. From the author of "How To Be A Working Comic" and "How To Be A Working Corporate Comedian."

From the author of "How To Be A Working Comic", "Comedy FAQs And Answers" and "How To Be A Working Corporate Comedian."
