I work & perform the corporate market only and you have only a small time frame to win over the audience..you may look at a quick music backing effect to open then build comedy with your rapport on the mic once you have done this. I open some shows with a 60 sec music backing & do 2 effects that are very funny and work well through trial & error over hundreds of shows then have a good opening set I talk to the audience with more comedy then go intpo a longer routine... |

From what I've read and have seen:
You are supposed to talk to the audience and get them to like you. I talk and tell three jokes at the beginning of my show.

Neznarf,
after reading your last Post, it struck me: wouldn't THAT be a funny opener(!). "From what I've read and have seen: You are supposed to talk to the audience and get them to like you." ...then stand there. ....a nice loooong pregnant pause. "Now that things are warmed up...." It's probably just ME,.. but, the thought of it all,.. cracked me up! smiles, gallagher |

I love to open with a quick talk to get acquainted then right into fire wallet routine that blends to a money trick. They sit up and pay attention and it's great for a laugh. I think it is important to get your audience a little excited at the beginning, and wondering what your going to do next.
