How can a songwriter or performer gauge the effectiveness of their comic song with an adult audience?

Testing the material through live performances (open mics, small shows), recording feedback from trusted friends and colleagues, and monitoring audience reactions online (comments, shares, likes) are all valuable. Analyzing which jokes land and which fall flat helps refine the song's comedic elements and improve its effectiveness with a specific target audience. Also look for specific responses to things like the use of satire or irony.
