Since I have taken it upon myself to name the “World’s Funniest Comedian” based on PAR Score (Positive Audience Response), it seems appropriate to talk about how to go about improving your stand-up comedy PAR Score.

Is it possible to get a different PAR Score for the exact same comedy material? The answer is yes. But what is important is to understand why and be able to use a bit of common sense as you use Comedy Evaluator Pro.
