5 Bizarre Yet Brilliant Lessons DJs Can Learn from Stand-up Comedians

In the vast, eclectic world of entertainment, DJs and stand-up comedians might seem like polar opposites. One is all about pumping up the crowd with energetic beats, while the other dishes out laughter-inducing anecdotes. But, believe it or not, there are a few peculiar yet valuable lessons that DJs can learn from stand-up comedians. So, buckle up and get ready to laugh your way to a better DJ career!

  1. Reading the Room

A comedian’s ability to read the room and adjust their set accordingly is crucial to keeping the audience engaged. DJs, too, need to read the crowd and adapt their playlists to fit the vibe. Is the crowd ready to dance their socks off, or do they need a gentle nudge in the right direction? Take a cue from comedians and be prepared to change things up on the fly.

  1. The Art of Storytelling

Comedians are masters of storytelling. They weave tales that grip their audience from beginning to end. Although DJs don’t use words to tell stories, their music sets can still take listeners on a journey. Carefully craft your set to create an emotional arc, with the right mix of highs and lows to keep the dancefloor captivated.

  1. Stage Presence

A stand-up comedian without stage presence is like a DJ without headphones – utterly lost. As a DJ, your stage presence is a vital part of your performance. A little head-bobbing and fist-pumping can go a long way in showing the audience that you’re feeling the music just as much as they are. Take a page from the stand-up playbook and let your personality shine through.

  1. Handling Hecklers

We’ve all seen comedians gracefully (or not-so-gracefully) handle hecklers during their performances. While DJs may not have to worry about verbal hecklers, they still face their own version – the dreaded song requester. Learn from comedians and develop a strategy to deal with these pesky intruders. Whether you choose to humor them with a smile or skillfully deflect their request, keep your cool and maintain control of your set.

  1. The Power of Authenticity

In comedy, authenticity is king. Audiences can tell when a comedian is faking it, and the same goes for DJs. Don’t be afraid to let your true musical taste and style shine through in your sets. Just like a comedian who stays true to their voice, a DJ who embraces their unique sound will always stand out from the crowd.

So there you have it, five bizarre yet brilliant lessons that DJs can learn from stand-up comedians. Embrace your inner funny bone, and watch your DJ career flourish in unexpected ways. After all, laughter may be the best medicine, but a well-timed beat drop isn’t too far behind!

There are two sides to every DJ’s career. The music side, and the business side. Usually, when you see the typical ‘struggling artist’, it’s somebody that’s purely in the music side of their career and gives no thought to the other side.

If you want to spend your life in the music business, you need to have your music right - and you need to have your business right. MUSIC. BUSINESS.

You need to spend time in the booth, but you also need to tend to the other side.

We call this side… Under The Booth.
