ANDY ENGEL'S

COMEDY TIP OF THE DAY


 MCS founder and owner, and comedy expert Andy Engel shares his valuable insights and expert advice to help you navigate your comedy journey. Whether you're just starting or looking to take your career to the next level, Andy's tips offer practical guidance, insider secrets, and the motivation you need to succeed in the world of comedy. Start building your comedy career today!


"As a host, your primary job is to keep the show flowing and get the crowd laughing, not to shine the spotlight on yourself. It’s NOT a time for you to test out new material – you are the glue holding the night together! You need to bring everyone together, make the comics shine, and keep the energy high. Always be aware of the show’s running time. If the crowd is hot, move things along! If a comic bombs, step up with strong material to bring the vibe back, fast. Hosts who understand this balance get the gigs – those who don’t, don’t last long. Remember: Are you moving the show along smoothly or hogging the stage? That’s what producers will notice."
