In this Only Bombs! Stories conversation, Yaqiao talks about how she reads a room, adjusts her approach from city to city, looks back at her performances, and figures out what she could have done better.
We also get into crowd work, hecklers, the unpredictable moments that happen on stage, and how she takes a simple idea and develops it into a joke. Somewhere in there, an Italian guy and Olive Garden get involved. 😂
It’s a really interesting look at what actually goes through a comedian’s head before, during, and after a set.
