Crowd Work with Michael Halcomb
Update: 2025-11-05
Description
This pod’s guest is Michael Halcomb — a professor, pastor, comedian, and podcaster from North Carolina, proving once and for all that the best way to handle hecklers is with a sermon, a syllabus, and a punchline.
Chris asks Michael and Mike about their jointly-authored article “10 Ways to Upgrade Your Crowd Work” — covering how to turn audience chaos into comedy, why professors secretly make great MCs, and when it’s okay to recycle a drunk guy named Tony from last weekend’s show. They also give adaptable advice like "repeat whatever they say" and "embrace the silence."
