open mic.

open mic night at the comedy club

where future comedians begin

everyone gets five minutes

(a tough gig, very brave souls, all)

to try out their material

 win over the audience

including this guy

who sat off to the side

looking like he really enjoyed the set.

than a success in marketing.’

  5. When we saw my stepson at an open mic night, he did really well. But the act that followed died a 5-minute death in silence from the audience. That skeleton would have got more laughs. (Do you know Jimmy Carr over there? He really is an obnoxious, horrible person.)
    Best wishes, Pete.

  13. This is perfectly timed. Last night with some friends, I was telling them about another friend who had to do his five-minute bit of stand-up as an exam to pass his stand-up course. This guy is definitely leaning in!

  18. I’m impressed by anyone with enough courage to get up on stage, even if they can’t sing, dance, act, or do comedy. I never could watch American Idol because it bothered me when they’d show clips of people who had no talent just to ridicule them.
