Performers on a broadway show don’t just go on stage and decide what they’re going to sing that night, they’re prepared. Same with a comedian, their performances are practiced and rehearsed over and over again. On today’s What Works Wednesday, Matt is joined by comedian Cory Michaelis to talk about opportunities to use comedy in presentations or client meetings as well as why no matter what, practicing and rehearsing is what will make you a higher-level performer and presenter.
