I went to an open mic and did it. I haven't been to many open mics so I wasn't acquainted with the fact that almost everyone bombs horribly. I got a few laughs, but there was only one comedian in the lineup that I would consider competent.

Other comedians are complete freaks though. Really sad stuff like people trying to "make it" in their late forties.

Seems you like you need to be good at crowd work to wake up the crowd a little at one of these things. The one guy who did that was finally able to get laughs after 5-6 comedians got literally no laughs at all.

Not sure when I'll go back or when I'll go back at all, but I had a good time. If I do go back, I'm going to try and work on crowd work lines because LJL that stunk.

back when i lived in mfh, there was some bar on houston that made its back room available to open-mic stand-ups to workshop their material, etc.

I used to love going, because all the half-thought-out jokes and bits were 100x better than polished routines. Its a 180 experience to see amateurs just giving weird perspectives on things.

i wish there were a youtube channel or something for nobodies to do 3 minutes

There were some borderline experimental shit happening. I tried to be generous with courtesy laughs, but it did start becoming hilarious after awhile. One dude ended his set by pretending to die dramatically on stage, he fully committed, and nobody fucking laughed. Which made it hilarious to me.

CR. I would just watch open mic streams for fun if there were any.

nature of comedy, imo, is encountering wacky and strange thoughts and perspectives. its just people talking.

im sure seeing a celeb HBO comic do his act for the 90th time on tour could be cool. He's been tested and has proven entertainment ability.

But seeing some complete weirdo give a strange "take" for 3 or 5 minutes - a succession of weirdos actually -- in a small room with a lot of audience interaction is super fun.

Its a lot like IRL posting on xo. Pro comedy is like a newspaper editorial

Have you ever watched the HBO show "Crashing"? It was exactly like that. There was a woman in her mid-40s still trying to "make it" telling masturbation jokes at the bar.

The open mic scene is a bunch of people that do jokes to no laughs for years in the hope that *maybe* a club promoter or network exec will see them and want to hire them for something. In my understanding, you have to love open mics and have no expectations for any of it to not kill yourself.

Haven't seen it, maybe I'll check it out.

I have a hard time understanding the whole scene. I personally fucking hate karaoke because I can't stand listening to people sing poorly. I would never intentionally subject myself to subpar performances unless it was a children's theater or something.

Why people turn out to sit in the audience and not laugh is beyond me. I understand the person on stage. They may be delusional and retarded, but if you're gonna do it, it's gonna have to be up on stage.

Comedy is a weird thing. It's having a resurgence right now, but nobody is fucking funny. And the people who are into it and attend all think they're also funny, and it couldn't be farther from the truth.

80% of the audience was other comedians waiting for their turn on stage. They're just way too in their heads to laugh at other comics. Audiences where people actually want to be there to see comedy laugh more.

It's funny. All you really need to get famous in stand up is to have a tik tok account that posts your best bits. It tricks people into thinking you're consistently funny. Rogan's friends are all awful at comedy

comedy seems like the hardest thing to break into. you need to cultivate a following before you can get your foot in the door, but getting your foot in the door is about cultivating a following. it's a chicken and the egg thing.

it's one of those careers where the most important thing is likely networking rather than raw skill. you need to stay after shows and hobnob with other comedians so someone will take you on as their opener.

It feels like it would almost be easier to go viral on Tik Tok and then leverage that into a stand up career than it would be to make it as a stand up on your own.

cr.

before screens people would go to comedy clubs as a night out thing without knowing who was performing. people don't do that anymore, they go to see headliners. it's a shame. i love live performances of all kinds and would love to hang out at a comedy club for some drinks. that experience really only exists in MFH, LA, and (now) Austin. and even those places people are going to see headliners way more.

all the biggest new comedians got their start with a podcast or social media. when is the last time there's been a chappelle, seinfeld, etc. that got their start from their stand-up? you gotta either be matt rife or shane gillis. cultivate a following a then do comedy, you can't cultivate a following just doing comedy clubs.

i disagree with the "easier" part. most people like to listen to music passively. if you go somewhere with a big music scene there are live bands everywhere. there are tons of opportunities to get your name out there. tons of people have made it as sound cloud artists. people listen to music way, way more than they listen to stand up comedy.

stand up requires people to actually sit there and pay attention to you. it's more like breaking into being a fiction writer. not only do you have to be good, you have to convince people to read/listen to your shit. and 99% of amateur's stuff is terrible, so even finding people willing to consider a new writer or comedian is difficult. that's exactly why MASE's open mic was full of comedians.

the music industry is worth $17b a year

the comedy industry is less than a $1b and that's after an explosion in popularity

https://www.axios.com/2024/05/10/comedy-industry-boom-growth-revenue-netflix

how many concerts occur in a city a year? how many comedy shows? how many music venues does an average city have? how many comedy venues? how often does a stadium host a comedian? how often do they host a musicians?

this is just objectively wrong. you just have it in your head that "music is dead" because your favorite music is unpopular these days.

sabrina carpenter and shane gillis are probably the two biggest recent break out artists in music and comedy. who do you think sells more tickets?

ok, then you choose a break out comedian who matches sabrina carpenter. or dup lipa, or chappell roan, or doja cat, or bad bunny.

that's exactly my point dude. they don't exist. even biggest comedians aren't nipping the heels of musicians.

way, way, way more music is consumed than comedy. and there's an appetite for more artists too.

we were discussing what the reality of today *is*. not what i'd like it to be, or not whether it's worthwhile to changing it.

people consume a shit ton of music. the fact you don't like popular music or why it's popular doesn't change the fact that it is popular.

i've considered it but after 20 years of comedy podcasts/radio and hearing so many open mic stories i could only see myself doing it as a box check thing.

from what i've heard most open mic shows are filled with aspiring comedians who won't laugh/pay attention and guests of open micers who are only there for them. if people like shane gillis struggle to get a laugh at an open mic after years it seems very unlikely an amateur would, even if you had the potential to be the greatest comedian ever.

although sometimes i do think about greg giraldo giving up THE LAW to be a comedian before drugging himself to death. that sounds 180.

There are two kinds of comics IMO

1.) The naturally funny kind you're talking about that doesn't have to work that hard on their material. They just "have" "it".

2.) The striver workaholic type that isn't very funny, but just slaves over making the tightest set they can possibly make. I think Louie is one of those people, he is just not funny in interviews or outside of his standup. But he's one of the GOATUS POTUS anyway.

The best comics are a marriage of the two, but these open mic guys don't have either.

Clearly he does. He's amazing at what he does. I'm just saying I've seen Shane Gillis and Lucas cut up with people on podcasts before. Not all comics do that.

I do have take back my CK comment though, because I just remembered his legendary O&A bits

"Conversely if you have it you rise straight to the top. Not saying it's going to be an easy path or anything. It might take a lot of suffering and networking and putting yourself out there constantly hoping for a break."

this just isn't true. some of the best comedians languished for decades. i've heard so many comedians talk about how the funniest comedians they knew never caught a break.

i see that you're saying it "isn't easy" and "requires networking", but that's incompatible with "if you have it you rise straight to the top." and also incompatible with everything i've heard from actual comedians. i haven't heard a single professional comedian say what you're saying. i have no direct experience obviously, i'm just relaying what literally every comedian that has talked about breaking into stand-up has said about it.

99% of comedy podcasts is comedians shooting the shit which includes of a lot of talk about the comedy business. find me a clip of a comedian who supports your POV. what are you basing your opinions on?

"if you have it you rise straight to the top" = sufficient without qualification.

also, even if that is the argument, it's simply not true. i've heard countless comedians talk about talented people that never made it. i haven't heard a single one say "well if you're talented success is inevitable with hard work." it's not.

I go to this kickass free comedy night every week, where the first hour and a half are established local (sometimes out of town) "professionals" doing 10-15 minute sets to basically try out material. Same people I see at the paid professional local comedy nights.

Then they have a 2 minute each "lightning" round open mic, where literally anyone can get up there. Often its the quasi pros getting up there to try material and then amateurs doing their first try

Its really awesome. Hit or miss but when it hits it is really good.

Its often not funny among the amateurs but no one really cares.
