Before. During. After.

Alexis and Sam have a lovely chat that includes how confidence is a costume before it becomes a habit, how great speakers have a conversation with their audience instead of a monologue and how setting out your stall early in any talk is a very handy thing.

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.
