*You can make a good show, GREAT!
*You learn not to be so scripted; you're not "married to your material"; you're "looser" on stage.
*You learn to tag onto other comedians' material.
*You train your comedic brain to "think on the fly".
*You dip your toe into crowd work.
*You set up the roster of comedians so THEY have an easier, more fun time on stage and that makes you look good.
*You learn the real essence of your bits and make your material tighter.
*You often work in front of larger audiences than "showcase shows" and open mics.
*You learn from the feature and headliner.
*You make contacts. Contacts that are happy when they see a solid Host is taking the lead.

Lou brings his high-energy, “tell it like it is”, quick-witted, biting, universal comedy, from “family friendly” to “anything goes” to comedy clubs, colleges, corporate events, and military crowds; and as a host for live TV, commercials, fundraisers, conventions, and red carpet events.
Lou is a radio broadcasting veteran of 11 years in Northeast Ohio, most notably at legendary radio station, WMMS, “The Buzzard” in Cleveland. He's currently the Lead Fill-In Host for "The Morning Buzz" on "WNIR, 100 FM", and he was the Game Day Announcer/Halftime Show Host for the Cleveland Crunch Pro Indoor Soccer Team during their 2021 Championship Season.
He has authored three books: “Amateur Nation: The Decline of Common Sense, Manners, and Social Skills” (with the corresponding podcast surpassing 300 episodes), “101 Weird Conversations with Mom”, and, “ANOTHER 101 Weird Conversations with Mom”—all found on Amazon.
He wrote and co-hosted the popular web series, “1TrackMind”, and is the writer and executive producer of the movie, “30 Swipes Right”, and two games shows: “Comedians Against Humanity”, and the pop culture debate game show, “WhaddayaSay?”, both currently being shopped for production.
