COMEDY TIP OF THE DAY

MCS founder and and owner comedy expert Andy Engel shares his valuable insights and expert advice to help you navigate your comedy journey. Whether you're just starting out 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!

"Get Into Character! The moments just before you hit the stage are more important than you might think. Too often, comics introduce themselves or say hello in their regular voice, sounding unsure or hesitant—because they haven’t fully stepped into their persona yet. Use that crucial time before you're announced to mentally shift into character. Walk toward the stage already embodying your comedic voice, so that your very first word lands with confidence and intention. Your set doesn’t start with your first punchline—it starts the second you’re seen."
