Hey Clower, ever notice how a punchline is like a jump cut—just enough to keep the crowd on their toes, but not so much that they miss the joke? What’s your secret to making those beats hit on the fly?

Nice, but even the best improvisers can use a rough storyboard to avoid a silent moment where the crowd thinks you’re still deciding on a punchline. Think of it like a quick edit: a short, well‑placed cut that keeps the rhythm flowing. Maybe sketch a few beats on paper—just the beats, not the whole joke—so the energy stays tight. It’s like adding a jump cut after a long build; the audience is surprised, not confused. Keep that “eye‑roll” cue in your mental cue sheet; the more precise your cue, the sharper the punch.
