Ugh. I was really hoping this thread was gonna blow up last night, I love stand-up.

Heard Anthony Jeselnik's Shakespeare last night. Hilarious. It's interesting how he builds a persona in 40 minutes that the audience trusts to say anything...without actually revealing anything of himself.

Let's share stories of our first open mic experiences instead of rapetalk!

-Was lucky in a few ways
-Exact same in terms of not telling a soul
-probably 80 people in the audience
-Told MC not to tell the audience it was my first time until after I was done
-Did decently (of course looking back on it now, my material was absolute garbage)
-MC announces my com-ginity, get a cheer
-MC announces we have a drop-in from a Comedian in town
-Norm McDonald comes on stage
-Says "It was that guy's first time? He was, like supernaturally calm"

Loved the story so much I didn't try stand-up again (for fear of it being a fluke) for two years.

Apparently it's an open mic invitation to do an impression of your favorite dead comedian. So... yeah.

I think it's weird a comedy club would have a theme night. I thought the theme was comedy?

No way they're charging 20$ for an open mic competition.
