Before. During. After.

Dan and Sam discuss the perils of comparing audiences, the powerful element of surprise in any communication, how a sabbatical from comedy improved him as a performer and what to do when it starts to go wrong to help keep the show on the road.

What is Before. During. After.?

Before. During. After. is a Smirk Experience podcast about performance; from the inside.

Every week Sam Carrington will sit down with a professional comedian. He'll find out what they do in preparation for a show, what they concentrate on while they're performing and what they focus on when it's done, all to maximise their performance.

Because great performances don't just happen, they're built.
