So I have a show planned out but I'm struggling to get a good opener, weather it be a self appearance or something that'll set the tone for the show which I know only I can set. But I am wondering, what openers do you guys use for your shows, just looking for ideas an inspiration

Hi
Take something short an visuell. I guess you are not doing a lot of shows. So take a routine that works 100% and you are very comftable with. Best... one to laugh. If the audience like you the rest is easy. I can not say which trick is good for you. But... funny,short and strong is not wrong... many say your second best trick... I would say a trick that make people laugh or at least smile. Direct to the point. If you are a mentalist... ask somebody else:)

Best regardes

Honestly - it doesn't matter what anyone else does, it has to fit your show. You'll get a lot of generic advice that says things like, make sure you make them laugh, or make sure it's visual, or make it fast ... One of my best openers involved reciting a piece from Shakespeare for 2.5 minutes with no tricks involved at all.

This set the tone and atmosphere for the show that followed.

So what you need to do is figure out what would best initiate the themes of your show, and work with that.
