2 hours 16 minutes

Ciao! Take off your shirts and get ready to shout "Where ya from?!" at the unsuspecting Polish children in the front row. Comedy virtuoso Andrzej "Andy" Sosnowski (@comedyandy) joins Jordan (@jordanthomasgray) and Ariel (@arielbialski) to discuss the art, science, and spectacle of CROWD WORK in standup.

Here are some topics the gang covers:

How to take your first steps into crowd work and audience interaction

How to ask interesting crowd work questions

How to deal with the rare and dangerous "poison pill" - an audience member who wants to ruin the show

What kind of crowd work to do if you're bombing

Crowd work while hosting an open mic

How to tell a story using crowd work over the course of a show

Mind Maps and Logic Trees vs JUST LISTENING

Asking "Why" questions instead of "What" questions

Are "hack" crowd work questions ok?

Where ya from?
