Stand-up comedians… sometimes they hit it right on the money and the room is soaring with laughter. Other times, their jokes might not land as intended, and instead are followed by complete silence. If the jokes are good, though, and you're in the audience, it's easy to get lost in the experience and simply react and laugh. But what's it like on stage for comedians? From their perspective, what are the dynamics between them and their audience? And what's the process of crafting their comedy routine before they present it to us? Triad Arts Executive Producer David Ford met with three stand-up comedians, Eric Trundy, Jordan Fisher and Steve Lesser to talk about the ins and outs of their craft.
The nuances to this craft might go unnoticed for those of us non-comedians. If you want to check out some stand-up comedy shows in real life, The Idiot Box Comedy Club in Greensboro is one option. In fact, that's where today's Triad Arts guests have all shared the stage. Here are some other stand-up comedy clubs in the Piedmont:
