books about podcasting<\/a>, and they give good advice on how not to bore your audience.<\/p>\nKeep your energy up<\/h2>\n
No one wants to watch a performer who looks like they’d rather be anywhere else. Even if you’re not naturally high-energy, you can fake it ’til you make it. Put some pep in your step, smile, and interact with the audience as much as possible.<\/p>\n
Don’t be afraid to experiment<\/h2>\n
If something’s not working, don’t hesitate to ditch it or change it up. You might not always nail every joke or hit every note, but that’s part of the fun of live performance. So embrace the chaos and go with the flow.<\/p>\n

Make sure your material is appropriate for the venue<\/h2>\n
If you’re performing in a family-friendly venue, ensure your material is suitable for all ages. Similarly, feel free to push the envelope if you’re performing in a more adult-oriented venue. Just be aware of your audience and adjust accordingly.<\/p>\n
Interact with the audience<\/h2>\n
One of the best ways to keep people engaged is to interact with them directly. If you can get people laughing and clapping along, they’re much more likely to stick around until the end of your set.<\/p>\n
End on a high note<\/h2>\n
