Headline/Feature

Sometimes I headline. Sometimes I feature. When I headline, it sometimes falls on an off night and then I stay to feature (middle slow after the host) for a comedian who is either a friend or a draw, or both. I love headlining because I have the freedom to do an hour and work on my material and also work in new stuff and let jokes breathe a bit. The downside, is the show is sometimes not a full house. I have to promote a lot in cities and rely on friends and followers to show up when I do come to the city and thats often hard for folks on a Sunday or Thursday. If a group of fans don't show up, it affects the show. I recently headlined a show for 7 people. While fun, I would have much rather done a show for 100 more people, especially after driving a few hours for the show. And recently, in some markets, I actually have a following which is nice. I now recognize people who come back to see me.

Featuring is a lot easier because I usually do only 20-30 minutes and just show up. I don't have to promote as much (although I always do) as the crowd is not there to see me. It's a chance for me to gain new followers and fans, many of whom have probably never heard of me. In recent times, I had the opportunity to open for a couple friends who are selling out rooms around the country. After the shows, I usually gain some new social media followers and the hope it that next time I come to town to headline, they will be there as well. Hope to see you at the shows! #careerchange #standup #formerlawyer #comedian
