Crowd Work Tutorial with Andrzej Sosnowski

Ciao! Take off your shirts and get ready to shout "Where ya from?!" at the unsuspecting Polish children in the front row.

How to take your first steps into crowd work and audience interaction
How to ask interesting crowd work questions
How to deal with the rare and dangerous "poison pill" - an audience member who wants to ruin the show
What kind of crowd work to do if you're bombing
Crowd work while hosting an open mic
How to tell a story using crowd work over the course of a show
Mind Maps and Logic Trees vs JUST LISTENING
Asking "Why" questions instead of "What" questions
Are "hack" crowd work questions ok?
Where ya from?
