HOW TO TEST YOUR IDEAS

How do you test out your joke ideas?

Comedy is subjective. What one person finds funny, another may find it not. This makes it sometimes extremely hard to test out your ideas. However, it isn’t impossible to find out if your joke will get a laugh from the audience before you take them onstage. This episode will look at different methods that you can use to find out whether your joke will work or not.

With panelists Greg Cassiano, Shelley Ann Moore, Phil Sweet, and Ross Bennett.
