Recognizing Your Progress On The Stand-up Comedy Stage

I want to talk briefly today about “progress indicators”.

I had one major goal every single time I performed on the stand-up comedy stage. And that was…

Make it hard, if not impossible for a comedian to follow me at the same level.

Well, I was able to meet that goal over and over again. As a matter of fact…

If you want a solid indicator of how strong your act is…

You will find that most comedians won’t be able to follow you if you have a PAR Score that runs near 40. Why?

If you are hitting a PAR Score in the 40’s…

You are performing at a level that the comedy stars perform at.

Performance improvement is the name of the game if you really want to excel on the stand-up comedy stage. That’s how real progress is made.
