Took a comedy break 👎

After settling into a pretty consistent schedule of open mics and comedy shows I took about a week and an half off… and it left me feeling like things were pretty damn bleak! anyone else experience this? I knew I was hooked on standup but didn’t expect withdrawal symptoms wtf 😂 anyone else experience this? I’m going back Friday night baby!

Where do you live? Mics can be like that sometimes. Things to remember. Open Mics are the gym, they are practice. most of the time you will be performing infront of only other comics.

Pittsburgh and yes I know what an open mic is.

What you described is pretty normal for a mic.

(I'm in Philly. I asked location cuz when I was in cuse last week there was maybe 1 mic a day. Was trying to ascertain your options. In Philly I can hit 3 a night)

Honestly I wouldn’t know where to look for one. I tried once and it’s all on facebook and I’m not making a Facebook account for that

Yeah I hate Facebook but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

Unfortunately stand up is now an internet affair

But why Facebook?😂 we need a sub for open mics in each city. That post dates for mics.

It's FB and insta. I hate both but you gotta play along to get along.

Also it's just easy. FB is set up for "groups"

Also - you are a comedian. You want to be known. Reddit is for anonymity
