Summary: On the “fans are a misnomer” episode of the podcast, Jordan Cooper and Josh Spector talk about changing your approach of how to make the leap to closing shows, why clubs and bookers don’t make you one - your fan base does, how the terms ‘opener’, ‘feature’ and ‘headliner’ are antiquated, and why building a community of people that knows, likes and trusts you (even if it’s not for comedy) will ultimately allow you to move up the ladder.<br> <br> In addition, we debate changing the usage of the word ‘fans’ to ‘connections’, leveraging another comedian’s audience to capture new ones, periodically testing the affinity of your connections, and producing content as a means to stay visible, maintain top-of-mind, and put yourself in the position to get opportunities.
