Mike, a stand-up comedian known for his sharp wit, recently shared an interesting strategy for crafting the perfect closing joke for his comedy specials. In a video titled "Coming Up With A New Last Joke (Stand-Up Comedy)" posted on Reddit, Mike detailed his approach to ending his shows with a memorable laugh.

Inspired by an interview with Louis CK, Mike adopted the idea of taking what was initially his last joke and making it the first one in his set. This tactic, as Louis CK suggested, forces comedians to come up with a strong closing joke to leave the audience in stitches. "So I did the first part of that," Mike explained, "And now I just I'm at the point now where I'm like I end comedy shows the same way that I leave my grandma's house. I'm just like alright, well, is there anything else I should do while we're here? Thanks for coming, I'll be right back."

The video has garnered positive reactions from viewers. One user commented, "hahah that is one good last joke!" while another added, "Always enjoy your stuff! That’s a great last joke, but hopefully not the last we see on Reddit." A third fan chimed in with, "Mike you're great. I hope you hit the big time someday my guy. o7"

This clever approach not only showcases Mike's dedication to his craft but also highlights the importance of leaving a lasting impression on the audience. His ability to blend humor with relatable situations, like leaving a family gathering, makes his comedy both accessible and memorable.

For those looking to improve their own comedic skills, Mike's strategy, inspired by Louis CK, is a valuable lesson: always strive for a strong finish. By continually pushing the boundaries of his comedic material, Mike ensures that his performances end on a high note, leaving audiences eagerly anticipating his next show.
