About Last Night

[ericcoleman]

I went to the Funny Bone open mike last night. There were 19 comics signed up so we all got 5 minutes.

I did Crank Generation complete with patter and stops and starts and got a lot of laughs. I ended up running just under 4 minutes (I think) and the amazed MC had to come running from the other room.

I might have been able to get away with another song, but I didn't want to run over, it being my first time there.

All in all a good evening.

I've found a lot of stand up comics don't plan to do a certain amount of time. This really surprised me. They just go up there and start telling jokes until the little light comes on then they wrap it up.

I'm used to getting a certain amount of time to perform, figuring out which songs I can do in that time, and doing it, as I'm sure you are. Stand up comics usually don't plan much out, especially for shorter sets.
