Before. During. After. with Ria Lina

In this week's episode Sam and the brilliant Ria Lina have a lively discussion about how confidence is built over time (not something you're born with) how performers can quickly and effortlessly regroup when something goes wrong, the benefits on focussing on providing value to your audience and the strange link between parenting and controlling a room of adults.

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.
