Stage Presence: Callbacks, Set Architecture, and Hecklers

The room stops being a bunch of strangers when you remember what you already said to them.

Stage presence is not charisma. It is the illusion that the whole set was designed for this room, even though you wrote it in your kitchen. That illusion is built out of attention management: callbacks that make earlier jokes pay interest, pacing that keeps the audience leaning forward, and the calm to turn interruptions into material.
