Prepping Shows, Open Mic Grind & Fugitive Monkeys
The Pro-Laugh Podcast (Episode #10)
This week on the Pro Laugh Podcast (Episode #10), Michael and Brandon dive into the ups and downs of the comedy grind. Michael breaks down how his shows went this past week and shares insights from his latest blog post about prepping for four shows while juggling ghost-writing. Brandon talks about his recent open mics and how he’s gearing up for three more this week. The two also get into the strategy behind building a social media presence as a new comic, including what platforms work best, how often to post, and what kind of content actually lands with audiences.
Both Michael and Brandon bring a joke they’ve been working on. Brandon riffs on openers, walk-up music, and the nightmare of coming out to “Like A Virgin,” while Michael asks the important question, “Is South Carolina doing alright?” Spoiler Alert: there are monkeys and math involved! From there, the two guys jump into current events, from Heinz ketchup smoothies, to the ugliest dog contest (would you enter if it was for ugliest human and $100k?), to a meteorite older than Earth.
If you love stand-up, comedy banter, and watching jokes get built in real time, this episode has all that and more. Tune in!
