Content To Live Shows

Cody Ko describes evolving their live shows from basic podcast recordings to a multi-format entertainment experience that combines different elements of their content into a cohesive live performance.

Key Points:

• Initial Format:

  • Started with basic live podcast recordings on stage
  • Realized they needed something to guarantee laughs
  • Wanted to put more effort into the production

• Evolved Show Structure:

  • Split into three main components:
    • 1/3 Music performances
    • 1/3 Live version of "That's Cringe" content
    • 1/3 Stand-up comedy

• Production Development:

  • Wrote a dedicated show script
  • Created original songs for the performance
  • By the end of touring:
    • Had show memorized word-for-word
    • Refined content based on audience reactions
    • Added successful bits back into future shows

• Scale:

  • Toured worldwide
  • Performed approximately 100 shows
  • Show continuously evolved through iterations and audience feedback

The format proved successful by combining their existing online content types (comedy, music, commentary) into a live experience while adding new elements specifically for the stage.
