Episode Synopsis

Ok, not getting laughs is not the end of the world. But how do you deal with the bruised ego and lingering self-doubt?
Today we talk specifically about WHY we bomb, anyhow to bounce back and land on solid ground. In the past we have discussed a few topics connected to bombing:
Overcoming a slow start (BLOG)
Comedy shows that make you stronger (034 )
Overcoming Stage Fright (Episode 054)
But today is specifically about troubleshooting in advance, making adjustments during, and taking action after to make sure it doesn't happen as often.
Specifically, we talk about:

Turning down gigs that aren't right for you
Having a "go-to" list of comedians you can refer
Why you may need to revisit you bio
Clearly marketing to groups you are best for
When the booker messes up
How to prepare the booker for the disaster ahead
Why you may need to revisit your contract
Giving yourself the option of opting out
Develop a pre-contract process for troubleshooting the event
What to do if the other comics before you dug a hole
What to do if the comics before you rocked
How to admit failure and learn from it
Why you may need to open with your closer

and much, much more.
