How bad of a decision is this, CE? Ive never tried an open mic, but Im heavily interested in it.

Ive been saving bits and set material on my phone for the past 5 years.

You need to do it before you get to the point you'll always regret not doing it. Also I feel like you can always go back to teaching....

This is true. I guess I could always do both for a while...teach during the day then go to open mics at night

How did the first one go?

I follow a LOT of stand up stuff online, and fully understand that theres an entire process of bombing for years before getting decent at it. And Im at peace with that, honestly.

It was terrible, but the whole room was dead so I didn't take it personally. The second time was more lively, I got some laughs and even a boo. I spent maybe 2 hours on the jokes and just did my best to remember them.

Quitting before even trying comedy would be a laughably poor choice.

Go to open mic night and if you're actually decent, then is probably when you should even begin to think about leaving your day job


Well duh. Im realistic and not an idiot haha

Hell yeah, love Joe Rogan! He talks a ton about failing at standup and how to develop material.

Also a huge Louis CK fan. Both his standup and show. Seeing the process of where to start is super important to me.

I know someone who went to college for electrical engineering, excelled, and decided he didn't want to work in that field anymore and quit his job to become a stand-up comedian.

He's probably not making as much as he would if he'd continued his career in engineering, but he loves his work and has quite a following now.


Hell yeah. Thats awesome to he ar! Im actually a music teacher/percussionist, and love performing. Standup just kind of seems like a natural extension of that.
