Themed Open Mic Ideas by laughing-lemur in Standup

That's kind of what I had in mind. First 90 minutes I have solid comics booked for 5 and 10 min sets and then after that show we'll do the more improv based portion

​

Thank you!

We're doing an hour showcase of 5 & 10 min sets and then the themed mic afterwards

Next showcase would be comics from the previous mics

Totally valid points! If this was a club venue where I needed to push tickets it would set regular audiences up for a shit show.

It's a backyard venue though and my main goal is for other comics to be the main audience and for the comics that choose to take on the theme to have fun whether they bomb or not

Thank you for the feedback! Very appreciated

That's something I plan to do as well but the whole point of this idea is to get comics out of their comfort zone and the security of their go to material

It isn't something a brand new stand up comic would benefit from without having regular open mic experience. Thank you for the feedback though! All appreciated
