Episode 32: How to Run a Great Comedy Show

  • サマリー

  • In this episode of Put Your Funny Where Your Mouth Is, Vince Carone and Dobie Maxwell break down exactly what makes a stand-up comedy show go from awkward and chaotic... to unforgettable.

    Drawing on decades of experience, they share the fundamentals of a well-run comedy show—from sound and lighting to seating, stage setup, check drops, hosting, booking, and even performer etiquette. Whether you’re a new comic, an aspiring booker, or a fan of live comedy, this episode is your behind-the-scenes guide to how it all really works.

    Key Points Discussed:

    • Why a bad sound system can ruin even the best comic

    • The ideal seating and stage setup for audience connection

    • How to book and balance a lineup that builds, not competes

    • What makes a great host (and why that role is often the most important)

    • How long should your show actually run (hint: less is more)

    • What to do when the check drop kills the vibe

    • The difference between a "closer" and a "headliner"—and why it matters

    • Professional prep: why comics should carry mics, batteries, and backup outfits

    • How to handle rowdy crowds without derailing the night

    • When to cancel a show—and how to do it the right way
