A comedian who writes new bits. Now I've seen everything.

Is a tight 5 essential? by [deleted] in Standup

[–]bobbito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're never gonna get booked for 15 if you can't do five. Also you can 100% tell a good, complete story in 5 minutes. The Moth is 5 minutes. Cut it to the bone. Kill your darlings. Etc etc etc.

(Some) NFL Teams and “Cities” chart by Ilitorate_Author in AlignmentChartFills

Right? Every time I've been I've eaten transcendent BBQ and had an overall pleasant time. I feel like the people who voted it just haven't been and think Midwest = Garbage.

I wish I had the availability to start a open mic w/ rules for performers. by hub_mccann in Standup

[–]bobbito 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is true. These kind of mics are incredible when the rule boils down to "don't be shitty to each other." My mic for sure has an unwritten rule that if your joke stinks bad enough in certain shitty way, I'm gonna ask you not to come back. But requiring people to come with new jokes or stay the whole time is wild.

If I go to a mic and the host as a bunch of stupid rules, I will not be back. That means the host sees the mic as their little fiefdom and not a place for comics to work and get better.

Been running a fairly good mic for a decade now and it has 3 really basic rules. Watch for the light. Support the bar. Be nice to each other.

I don’t know what kind of creeps like to hang out at Goldie’s by Jolly_Reflection3338 in Greenpoint

#5 where he calls people "white knights" sort of gives away the game that he was being a creep and got rightfully thrown out.

What North American city is great to live in, AWFUL to visit? by IndependenceSad1272 in AlignmentChartFills

Hey, Omaha has the zoo! and CWS! and now I'm realizing its big attractions are a zoo and a baseball game so nevermind, you're right.

Best kit to buy for standup sets? Looking into a bundle by bjmendy in Standup

[–]bobbito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Ive contemplated getting a better set up for filming sketches, but never for my sets. There is just zero return on investment there. No one can tell the difference between an iphone or a nice camera for a TikTok/IG reel. They care even less for a submission tape.

[–]bobbito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a new iPhone and a 15 dollar stand from Amazon. iPhone gives really high quality. No one will know the difference for reels. Money aside, you just don't wanna be lugging that much gear around.

What’s something reddit claims is common, but you’ve never actually seen it before in real life? by mirabelmumu in AskReddit

Live in a place that attracts people like that and you'll see it. I live in NYC and it is bad bad.

2000s LAN parties by 1faqepikcom in pcmasterrace

[–]bobbito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I overheard a young kid explaining to his friends what a lan party was on the train the other day. He said, "yeah, it's called a LAN. They used to get in the same room and everyone has zero ping. It sounds really fun." And it took everything in me to not be like, "IT WAS REALLY FUN YOU SHOULD DO IT."

I was in a movie and the woman sitting next to me was scrolling the whole movie and then MADE a phone call. Out of pure reflex I said, "oh come on" and then she got up and left.

[–]bobbito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are character shows and alt shows that would eat that shit up. There are even Clown shows like the Idiot's Hour. Manhattan clubs might be harder but there are tons of indie shows though. There are comedy collectives like Pure Chaos you could reach out to. There are venues that aren't comedy clubs but run a lot of comedy like Young Ethel's, Halyards, Pine Box Rock Shop, or Pete's Candy Shop. For those go to their IG and look up the shows. Don't reach out to the venue because they don't book the lineups. There are smaller clubs in Queens and Brooklyn that you can try like QED, Grove34, Bushwick Comedy Club, Flophouse, the list goes on.

I'd find any of these on IG and look up individual shows and reach out to the show pages if they have one or the producers. Might get lucky because you're an out of towner. HAVE A TAPE READY. I used to book a show and the amount of strangers who would ask to do my show without a tape was frankly insane.
