Before. During. After.

Sam and Tony discuss the relationship between preparation and rigidity, the perils of assuming what an audience will like before you start, how to pull it back when you might be losing an audience and how to make nonsense sound authoritative.

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.
