(Key word: "GOOD".)There is no downside to learning how to host a show.The comedy club Host isn't just a comedian who goes up and does his/her "10 minutes up front". He/she is the glue that sets the tone and keeps the show moving smoothly. They are the "mortar between the bricks".When you're a good host:*You can make a good show, GREAT!
