When to End a Joke

Good jokes end with a bang. Bad jokes end with a whimper, a cough, and a slow fade into audience resentment. Knowing when to get out is as important as knowing when to hit the punchline. Leave them laughing, not checking their watches. If you think, �Maybe one more tag,� the answer is no. Bail while it�s hot, before you explain yourself or launch a second act no one asked for. The funniest comedians know: the best punchline is the exit. HOW TO WRITE COMEDY: https://comedywriter.info/when-to-end-a-joke/ AND http://comedywriter.info/
