Wait, what?
Oh neat SA has a standup comedy thread. I'm an NYC based comic that's been doing it for a few years. I was curious if any other Goons did comedy. I'll read through the thread but is anyone here based in NYC?

I live in NYC and have been thinking about giving it a shot. I don't have a set yet, so it wouldn't be for a little while if I do, but I see a fair amount of shows.

Well dude, I've gone to mics with a few really new dudes to help peer pressure them on stage so if you need that person I would be more than happy to go with you. Just PM me.

Best way to get a set ready is to sign up for an open mic and tell your friends. You'll have no choice but to come up with material or else you'll look silly backing out.

This is a good idea, or if you want to feel like a rockstar sign up for a bringer show and tell all of your friends. Bringer shows are make believe standup shows that really mean nothing but they can help build confidence and give you the nerve you need to really start hitting the open mics which will improve ability to stand on a stage and talk into a mic which will eventually improve your ability to write jokes.
