Late Night Mic Booked Spots
If you are hoping to get a booked spot on the open mic, you will hear from me directly. If you do not hear from me directly, then check the list. Everyone who signs up online gets a spot, but I only reach out privately to talk to the people who I want to book for the opening 5 minute spots.
Details and FAQs
FAQs
Q. Is there money for booked spots?
A. No, this is still an open mic.
My theory is that working comedians who don't have a gig booked on a Friday night will appreciate the stage time in front of a hot crowd.
Q. Who are the working comedians?
A. Basically, comedians who are already getting booked on showcases (or better).
As a rule of thumb, if you have not advanced to the level of getting paid yet, then you are not ready.
Q. Isn't this booking thing unfair to all the other amateur comedians?
A. Nope. This makes the show better for everyone.
The crowd will have a better time and will stay longer, leaving more people in the seats for all the other comics later in the night.
Q. How long are booked sets?
A. Minimum 5 minutes, maximum 10 minutes.
Established, local headliners can expect to do 7-10 minutes. Established features can expect to do 5-7 minutes.
Q. How many booked spots are you doing per show?
A. At least three.
More spots may be on a case-by-case basis.
