Before. During. After.

Ben and Sam get into an in depth look at performance processes this week. Amongst other things they cover the level of preparation and detail comics go into, how you have to be in charge when doing stand-up and the distinction between being likeable and being nice.

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.
