Hasan Minhaj’s 3 Hour Warm Up Routine Before A Big Show

About this video

A guest performer breaks down their pre-show routine and mental preparation for getting on stage, emphasizing the importance of transitioning from intellectual headspace into embodied presence. The discussion covers physical warm-ups, meditation, intention-setting, outfit choices as confidence-builders, and techniques for connecting with audiences through controlled energy rather than high-intensity performance.

Key takeaways

• Top performers operate from their body rather than their head—they’re present and responsive in the moment, like great athletes in flow state, rather than anxious or overthinking
• Physical rituals (exercise, showering, dressing well, eating) serve as psychological anchors that build confidence and signal to yourself that you’re ready to perform
• Setting a clear intention beyond ego—like ‘I’m here to give joy’—shapes the energy you bring on stage and helps you avoid petty or angry motivations
• Iterating on small moments through repeated performance and watching tape of yourself reveals what works; a single line or tag refined over months or years compounds into mastery
