I found out about this jazz/comedy club nearby that hosts open mics on tuesdays. Ive been thinking about doing stand up for a while and i have a bit of material. Im thinking about going a few times and just watching before i decide to go up Anyone else ever tried it?
My uncle used to and was actually kind of known in the St.Louis area. But iv'e never personally tried it. I think that if i took time i might have a slight chance i'm pretty funny at time's.
Takes some balls to get up there. Wish I could give it a shot. Just practice it out a few times so you know what you are going to say and when to deliver it.
If you want to be a successful comedian, you have to tell the jokes nonchalantly like you don't give a fuck what anybody thinks. If people think you're trying too hard, they'll pick up on it very quickly. Good luck to you sir.
I love watching stand up and I would absolutely love to try it sometime. But all of the clubs won't let me til I'm 21 due to local laws. I have the balls to get up there as well, can't wait to try that shit
Definately go a couple times and check it out- see how the place works and it will probably be fun even if you don't get up and you'll meet new people. We have an open mic near me wher I go all the tiome its mostly musicians and a few poets (what I do) and on rare occasions we get a comedian - though it often doesn't go over well as they usually are used to a bar crowd and the coffee shop can has kids there and like to keep it PG13 at least. It took me 3 months to get up the nerve to read and don't do it often...but I always enjoy going
Whoooa i forgot about this thread man. Update Im gonna check it out Tuesday. I have a little money to buy some drinks and chill there for a bit. I saw a couple youtube videos that the club posted and the 2 comedians I saw werent that great. I have about 20 minutes worth of material. But im not gonna tell you guys any jokes, becuase im worried about Mencias on GC. haha
