max4me posted:Anyway I plan to go for one joke a day, and reading this thread made me realize I need to get out. So I will be hitting up the open mics up in LA (Live in O.C.) Not gonna go up there I am gonna go see what others are doing and get a better sense of what stand up is. I am gonna shoot for 2 open mics a night for a week and see what insights that can provide me. Hey, good luck! It's great to hear you're going to get into stand-up in LA. There's a lot of great comics and mics out here, it's probably second only to NYC in places to do this.

Senor Tron posted:So my girlfriend has wanted to try out standup for a while, and decided on a lark to do her first try at a Raw Comedy heat. Yeah just tell her that everything she does is funny and you'll be fine. If you have any ideas for additional jokes or punchlines, give them. Don't rewrite her punchlines or premises or anything - you're pretty much there to just be 100% positive. She can get constructive criticism from other comedians. She can get notes from them. You're there to be her biggest fan! Oh and if she bombs, tell her that she did awesome and find a way to make it sound convincing. Specificity helps - e.g., "That new joke about [whatever] was my favorite part."

RandomPauI posted:I wound up canceling my first am/pro thing at Flappers in Burbank. I couldn't get people interested in going and didn't feel like my material was solid enough. That frees me up for another open mic in Ventura though. Yay for silver linings! There's a really good show I used to do in Ventura at Hypno Comics. If you want, PM me your info and I can pass your clips along to the booker.

RandomPauI posted:I don't have clips yet and probably won't for a while. I'd love to hear more about the show though. It's called "Hypno Comedy" and the next show's Saturday, February 21at 8:30pm. I'm on the east coast these days so I won't be there, but I used to do it every other month and the comics are amazing. The crowd's super hot too.

RandomPauI posted:This is a long shot, but is anyone here familiar with the scene in Ventura county? I know we have more open mics than the glory hole on weds. I don't know much about the open mic scene, but I know there's a hell of a great comedy show every month at Hypno Comics. Maybe you can go there and ask around?
