Caitlin Peluffo lays out the tough-love path for newer comics: learn to write jokes first, then worry about filming and posting. She explains why early uploads can stall your growth, how she uses crowd work without training bad audience behavior, and why none of her current hour is online—so fans get a totally fresh show live.

What you’ll learn:
- The 3–4 year rule: film sets for notes, don’t post them
- A posting pattern that avoids training hecklers
- Why protecting new material builds fans who return
- The early late-night credit that slowed her progress—and the lesson

On tour now + SPECIAL TAPING: Caitlin is on tour and taping her new special on Oct 20. Follow @CaitlinPalufo for tickets and dates.
