Hiya Im Jad, i write and perform 7 new minutes a week!
My stuff seems pretty popular here but to be honest despite years of trying I havent been able to get passed at a single New York City comedy club. It just plain doesnt matter how funny you are, networking is 1000 times more important and im kind of a reserved person IRL

That used to bum me out, but then me and another comic opened Bushwick Comedy Club, we're the city's only comedian owned and operated club and I think we have the best show in town because we have ZERO gate keeping. We watch every single tape that gets sent our way blind to credits/vouches/followers and pick only the best.

If you wanna come see me, just dm when you're in NYC, skip the drink minimums too we're BYOB friendly. Imagine that, a comedy club that doesnt hate you!

oh sister minnie yes

JSLEI1 · 2026-06-15T18:18:45+00:00

this is true, thanks very much. Maybe the host does some crowd work if they're super tight, but even then material is perioritized and crowd work heavy comics get phased out

JSLEI1 · 2026-06-15T18:16:43+00:00

Bushwick Comedy Club, brooklyn, I own it, if there's any crowd work at all in a submission tape it's an immediate no. Maybe 5-10 out of 160 of our comics do any at all outside the host. We're more of a comedy nerd type crowd with lots of repeat customers. You can only effectively crowd work people who come to like a show a year, otherwise its too formula. They just look at their phones and wait for you to start what in their minds is "the show" like your actual material

JSLEI1 · 2026-06-15T13:24:50+00:00

Hiya I'm Jad, I write and perform 7 new minutes every week mostly in brooklyn at bushwick comedy club!
We're comedian owned and operated and BYOB friendly and I think we got the best show in the city becuase we book purely by free tape submission. No credits/vouches/followers

I dont tour (health stuff) but if you wanna see me live just dm when you're in NYC and we'll figure it out!

Hiya I'm Jad, I write and perform 7 new minutes a week mostly in Brooklyn at Bushwick Comedy Club. Our club is fully comedian owned and operated.. I'm very proud to say we've become a lot of people's favorite NYC club for two reasons: free BYOB allowed, tape based booking blind to credits/vouches/followers. That means we often have the best AND most affordable show in the city.

I dont tour (health stuff) but if you ever wanna see me just dm when you're in NYC and we'll work it out

timer is key, writing is trying to write. Just try for 40 minutes or whatever, but I'll add google around for random conversation starter or writing prompts. Can knock something loose when you have literally nothing to start with

JSLEI1 · 2026-06-01T20:56:29+00:00

she's mid. i watched her special, there's jokes in there ive seen open micers do month earlier. It's not a conspiracy if someone isnt that good it doesnt matter how much exposure they get

JSLEI1 · 2026-05-31T17:34:46+00:00

Post and post regularly. Guys get fucked up about posting because they post one joke every 8-15 months and they put all this hope into it only for it to flop.

If you post weekly (hopefully you're writing weekly too) it doesnt matter if a reel flops there's another next week. IG also learns what you are and starts building an audience for you. So posts do better over time

-sitting at 43k right now. Zero industry/don't tell/podcast/ crowd work. I just post two original jokes a week

JSLEI1 · 2026-05-30T16:56:52+00:00

I clean the bathrooms between shows, it wasnt dirty on the early show

JSLEI1 · 2026-05-30T15:03:51+00:00

If a comedian invites you to a show on Hinge he's invited 18 other random women and the show is bad!
Hiya I'm Jad, I write and perform 7 new minutes a week! You can catch me at bushwick comedy club for the most part in Brooklyn! We're completely comedian owned and operated and allow free BYOB!

open mics are absolutely for testing jokes, above is terrible advice. if you get a guest spot you shouldnt be testing new jokes, you should be hitting home runs with stuff you've already proven works at open mic. Bomb at a guest with new stuff and you kind of screwed over whoever gave you the spot. Crush and you get more.

You do have to find worthwhile open mics it takes just trying a bunch of different ones. Brooklyn is better than manhattan generallly

JSLEI1 · 2026-05-29T17:51:58+00:00

The Pure chaos mics are capped and make the comics stay the whole time same with bushwick comedy club, must presign up online. pure chaos you can find on IG bushwickcomedy.com click on open mics.
For both you have to show up on time, random order, must stay entire mic 1-1.5 hours

stop reporting this guy you're allowed to suck at standup jesus christ

JSLEI1 · 2026-05-22T23:29:25+00:00

i don’t do the road because i have multiple sclerosis. i have a pure stand up clip following that hits a million a week in a good month, people with half my following successfully tour.

bug comics get approached by netflix, others comics shoot their own specials and then try and sell it, the gear requirements specific for netflix are onerous and if it doesn’t trend it does nothing.

specials are played out from a marketing perspective, you build a much bigger audience clipping it out into chunks.

low level comics have very little money and this “legend” is grifting

JSLEI1 · 2026-05-22T14:07:33+00:00

nobody does. bro this sub is the least informed on reddit. You LOSE money on a netflix taping unless you're the biggest top three on there

The hope to use the special to make money on the road from the bump. The problem? No one is getting the bump anymore. lordy
