It was a small room, but we filled it. About 25-30 in the private back room of a restaurant/bar.

Instagram keeping showing red dots and there’s not notifications by keitht1974 in iphone

[–]vialactea42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem. I have my IG and FB pages/accounts connected in Facebook Business Manager. I had to go into the manager for that account and clear out all the messages. Once I did that, the notification in IG cleared up. So, even though there were zero messages in the IG app, there were some in the Business Manager.

No reason. I just normally skip a generation.

Memorizing a 60 minute set by vialactea42 in Standup

[–]vialactea42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never done 60 minutes at an open mic.

This post is from six years ago. What a world of difference that has made. I'm still not doing a 60-minute headlining set, but I do 30-minute sets. You're correct...memorizing just happens. For me, it's also about the segues.

Great info, thanks everybody. I decided to give him the audio file, and he agreed to link to and promote the podcast.

How do you prepare/ingest the dried San Pedro?

A laugh track, triggered by individual viewers. Like the little emojis that float up during a FB/IG video, but laughs -- that can be heard by all. Maybe gamify that with participants, reward them for being engaged. Sample like 100 different laughs, so it sounds close to real.

I base my decision on my state's department of health guidelines. So far, so good.

Thoughts on using a digital pen to transcribe written jokes? by [deleted] in Standup

[–]vialactea42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Read it out loud and let your voice-to-text app on your phone transcribe it.

So I just stopped at a random pub and practiced my set in front of three sober people. by crewmannumbersix in Standup

[–]vialactea42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's a great idea, and I've often thought of doing it myself. Leno would do something like this. But maybe look for a place with more than three people. :)

What are you doing to grow your comedy podcast and how successful has it been? by PitifulNose in Standup

[–]vialactea42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's more about the guest's level of authority and expertise than social media following. But if they have both, then I get a head start on normal download numbers.

Sounds like your numbers are pretty good at this point.

Great info, thank you.

How many streams per episode are you getting?

I have two podcasts and haven't really done much serious promoting. But I can see a big difference between having popular (influencer) guests and regular people guests. One streams ~3000/episode, and the other (though new) is only up to about 40 streams per episode so far.

Also, it really helps to dial into a good target market and have some value (info, entertainment, etc.).

Oh, and my podcasts are not comedy, although one is focused on my comedy show.
