After more than 30 years of doing stand-up, I’ve performed everywhere — from massive 5,000-seat theaters to private basement shows for 20 people. (When you’re starting out, a gig is a gig!)

Hotel ballrooms, banquet halls, conference centers, comedy clubs — I’ve seen it all. And while every space is different, there are a few universal truths when it comes to creating the perfect setup for a great comedy show.

It’s more than just handing your comedian a microphone and saying, “Good luck with these people.” (Yes, that’s actually happened. More than once.)

That’s why I created a short, free guide: “Setting Up Your Event Space for Success.”
Inside, you’ll learn simple, game-changing details — like how table placement, lighting, and sound can make the difference between a polite chuckle and a night of nonstop laughter.

Even the world’s top comedians rely on the right setup to make their material work. Ever wonder why comics always perform at the front of the stage — never in the middle? This guide explains why (and a lot more).

Your audience — and your comedian — will thank you.
