Scouted out a small but ok open mic venue. And have been going through my set in my mind.

Might record it, not sure.

It's been since pre covid since I last went up.

I won't write them out here because text is death for standup, but if I had to title the segments it would be something like:

Covid intro, being a nerd/depression, netflix thumbnails.

It'll be like 3-5 minutes.

Would you share with CE if you record it? Another user posted some of his stand up a few years back and wasn't bad.

You were smart enough to realize stand up comedy in text doesn't translate. But then you gave vague descriptions that will also make you look unoriginal lol. It's how you go about those subjects. But anyway, good luck. Hope you succeed. If you don't, just remember, even successful comedians have their stories of not landing. Those are actually some my favorite stories to hear them reminisce about.

A lot of comics do completely write out the material, but the real skill is improvising with it. Not just changing the words or acts, but playing off the crowd and altering the presentation on the fly given the vibe

I do not receive notifications, so using the @ feature will not do anything. I might see your post and respond though if I have already been in the topic.

It's kinda not up to me if I am funny, but generally people who have seen my open mics (even people here) say I do alright.

I've been going through the bit in my head today, it still feels a bit bloated and slow to get going. Plus it's been a little while since I last went up, so I am somewhat nervous.

Hopefully the audience will be not too small, anything under 20 people kinda sucks. 25+ would be good.
