As someone who's been putting off going literally down the road to a gig for months now, I respect that. Long term (actually not that long term, just get a PA and a space), it might be a whole lot more viable to set up your own space. There's bound to be people around who want to give it a try, and you'll get plenty of stage time as MC. Just find a bar that's quiet on a certain night, go in and say, "hello, sir! I notice that you are quiet on [sampleday]. Could we talk about hosting an Open Mic night?" They get more people through the door, you get your night. I seem to remember there being lots of good guides on how to do it - for the UK, at least. Same queen same rules. That is how everything works. Also, your sixth set is really good for a sixth set.

Question Mark Mound posted:standard that I want to live up to, Out of interest, have you been to any open mic nights just to watch yet? If you have, you'll see the most comforting-yet-terrifying sight there is: there are some really bad people out there. And it didn't stop them! So yeah, you won't rock it on your first attempt. But you're not supposed to...
