I'm telling you all that I'm going to sign up for an open mic Tuesday night so that I can't back out of signing up for an open mic Tuesday night.

I have told a few of my friends from back home. e: I did just tell the friend who normally talks me into doing uncomfortable things and he wants me to tape the show. How do you all rehearse? I'm currently talking to the stuffed lion who sits on my television. captain platypus fucked around with this message at 01:45 on Aug 26, 2013 |

Apparently my phone only does half-minute video, but I did get up there. I can see why you'd want to film. It's a five(?)-minute period where I was just on autopilot and I don't know how I did. I got some laughs and compliments, though. Funnily enough, my favorite part got almost no laughs, and something that I didn't even consider a punchline did. Thanks for the help!

Question Mark Mound posted:So I've only done three open mics myself at the start of the year and haven't done anything for a long time, does anyone else get stage blindness/deafness - as in you can't really see or hear if you're getting a response - while you're up there? After I listened back to a recording of my first one I got enough laughs, but I really could not tell whatsoever at the time how I did. I could tell whether I was getting a response, but the whole thing---even though I clocked it MANY times at five or more minutes---went by in a flash and didn't allow much time for analysis or self-correction. quote:I'm signing up for local improv course just to get my performing confidence back up again since I haven't done anything for ages Heh, me too. You don't live in Maine, do you?

jumba posted:You could probably get 2 minutes of material out of that alone. Yeah, seriously. I used my accidental three-hour walk from Bangor, ME to Orono as my five-minute bit.

AA is for Quitters posted:Just popping in to this thread to say that the local bar does open mic on the third thursday of every month... That's the best way to think about it. Break a leg! (I didn't even get the free drink.)
