サマリー
In this episode of Put Your Funny Where Your Mouth Is, Vince Carone and Dobie Maxwell break down one of the most crucial elements of stand-up comedy: the closing bit. Your closer isn’t just another joke—it’s the exclamation point on your performance, the moment that leaves the audience with a lasting impression. Vince and Dobie discuss what makes a great closing bit, share legendary examples, and reveal how their own closers have evolved over time. From callbacks to summation, they unpack the different techniques that help comedians craft the perfect ending to their sets. Vince shares the thought process behind the closer in his Bad Father special and how a long-form personal story became his ultimate show-ender. Dobie reflects on his own experiences with closers—what worked, what bombed, and how audiences will always tell you when it’s time to get off stage. Key Points Discussed: What separates a strong closer from a weak one The role of summation, callbacks, and exclamation points in a closing bit Legendary closing bits from comics like Ellen DeGeneres, Bill Burr, and George Carlin Why your closer should signal the end organically—without you saying "Goodnight!" How to avoid common mistakes, including rambling, weak endings, and bad merch pitches Whether you're a new comic trying to build your first set or a seasoned performer refining your closer, this episode delivers practical insights, personal stories, and a few laughs along the way.
