Great job. I been writing jokes and I'm close to ready to go
Thanks for making this. My first open mic is next week and this type of video definitely helps with the nerves
Good luck!!
How did it go?
@@RLaidEPeas really well actually. I was surprised that a room full of comics might be the most supportive, kind group of people I’ve ever met. They had no reason to be but it made a huge difference
@@somedude165 That’s great! Nice job
Right on, bro. Glad it went well.
you got me with the boss joke, didn't expect that one to turn a punch line so violently fast hahahaha
The element of surprise is key to comedy!
Thank u for this help full video
Thanks for watching!
Thanks, Markus, for your help! My biggest concern is getting the chance to try open mic. Patience is my biggest obstacle to my own success for now 😝
Thanks for quick replay
I'm 60 is it to late to do standup. I'm always looking to do new things did my first New York City marathon at 55 took me 6 hrs to complete but I did it.
It's never too late! And the stand-up comedy scene is generally very welcoming to people of different ages. Give it a go!
it is never too late. I did it back in my first college experience my last time was at 2015, just because I graduated from that college and I haven't had the time, but lately I been really tempting in starting it again just need to work on my "rocks" first translation "rocks" Joke ideas that eventually you can mix together which eventually become a set.
@ I agree I did comedy 7 years ago during 4 terms, but I never got the guts to do open mics
Hmmm? You did comedy but not open mics? Improv or sketch comedy then? Theater? 😊
I’m 43 and I used to wonder about that too. I agree with Markus. I think Ron White and Lewis Black had most of their success later in life and they’re still performing as seniors. I hope to try stand-up open mics soon when I think I’m ready. I want to rush out but I want to show respect for the craft and prepare. Several comedians have mentioned that it can take about 10 years of open mic until they get successful enough to make a living off of it.
For an open mic show how much material should you have time wise?
I recommend five minutes. Most open mic spots are around that length. The shortest I've seen was 3 minutes, and at the show I produced last night I gave them 7 minutes. You'll have fun regardless!
Tony Hinchcliffe, as you may know, currently does his ‘Kill Tony’ podcast in Texas (maybe formerly here in CA) and each open-‘mic’er (miker?!) gets only 60 seconds unless they were close to finishing a joke and only needed a little more time to finish. Then he and the other famous comedian guest cohosts interact with the new comedian, compliment and/or insult/roast them and ask for the comedian to introduce him-/herself. Pretty cool 😊
Bro I’m bout to start comedy I know a open mic tonight it’s my first time
Perfect, go get 'em!
Who is a penguins favourite family member answer Aunt Arctica.
Fantastic.
You look like immortal technique if he was a geek
Thanks for watching!
