Started doing stand-up in Michigan, did it for over a year and then moved to NYC. Took a little break & getting back into it. Discovering that there's a lot of differences between open mics in Michigan & NYC. In Michigan, almost all open mics were in front of a real audience, but in NYC it consists entirely of comedians. Whether it's a comedy club, bar, or coffee shop, it's only comedians there. Is this a common occurrence in other comedy hotspots like LA? Naturally, prefer performing in front of real people. It's much more difficult to see what material needs work, when only going in front of comedians. Comedians, we don't laugh (Yeah, I realize I'm whining about comedians not laughing at my material). Any NYC goons know of good open mics where you're in front of people? Outside of *shudder* bringer shows. I use nycomedylist.com to find shows. Anybody tried barking before? It sounds awful, but I'm interested in doing it. You get paid & stage time apparently, just want to hear first-hand experience to see if it's worth it.

Greek Tragedy posted:We have a decent population (over 200000) but there are nights when there are literally just the 7 comics performing that night in attendance. Of course the This still happens all the time at open mics in NYC. My only advice is plug, plug, plug your show to everyone.
