Not sure if the lead into the show is a test... however, my opinion is you do not need to preview the show highlights first. You brothers have earned a cold opening. We know its going to be good because of the precedent you all have set.

I'm proud of this brother! Chitown, stand up! This man came to Arlington, TX, and sold out 10 shows. They had to add 2 shows on a Monday... A MONDAY night. Both sold out. Then sold out again on a Wednesday night! As an up-and-coming comedian from Chicago and living in Fort Worth, I was inspired for sure!

Do you think comedians teach more through their jokes or through their life stories? Which one hits harder for you?
