Smirk Experience

Before. During. After.

Before. During. After. is a Smirk Experience podcast about performance; from the inside. Every week Sam Carrington will sit down with a professional comedian. He'll find out what they do in preparation for a show, what they concentrate on while they're performing and what they focus on when it's done, all to maximise their performance. Because great performances don't just happen, they're built.
