Jared Chandler reaches back - way back - for his bombing story - it was his first bomb in performance ever: his fourth-grade talent show. When it was over, he remembers thinking - “I don’t know what just happened, but I think it was bad.” A comic was born. Jared reminds comics that you can always tell - in the first few minutes of your set - the kind of show you’re going to have. Stand-up comedian Dan Bublitz Jr. interviews Jared about lessons learned. The two talk about how you can use alternative forms of stand-up comedy to keep your material fresh: roast battles, set swaps, “dead rooms”, even comedy where you have to get naked - if that’s your thing. In this episode, you’ll learn how to prep for a roast battle, how to take criticism, how to amplify your abilities as a comic by changing really small things… Jared Chandler Jared is a Denver comedian originally from Greeley Co. He runs a weekly show at Stella’s Pinball Arcade and Lounge in Greeley. https://www.youtube.com/@jaredchandler923 https://www.instagram.com/_jaredchandler/ Art of Bombing: "Nobody Had a Podcast Called The Art of Bombing" Theme by John Hult https://johnhult.bandcamp.com/album/half-a-life-to-recover Bumpers provided by https://www.facebook.com/joenicolamusic Website: https://www.artofbombingpod.com/ Links: https://linktr.ee/artofbombingpod Hosts: Dan Bublitz Jr: http://www.danbublitz.com/ Josh Shirley: http://www.joshshirleycomedy.com
