Develop an awesome jaw dropping ending to your show that isn’t your hit…that way you’ll have a good option other than ending with the hit.
True, the hit is your ace, its your rally point, and if you (only) have one maybe it does in fact belong at the end of the set most of the time.
But it would be fun to play around with the hit within the rest of your set.
Knowing that you don’t NEED to close with it opens up the possibility to put it ANYWHERE else and see how the show flows.
Maybe you put it up front so you have the audience in your hand right away.
Maybe you put it after a down section of the set to ensure you will lift out of that section.
Lots of possibilities and reasons.
But first, the possibilities are opened when you have taken the time to build a slammin end to your show that isn’t the hit.
