There are no Open Mikes in my area. How do I get stage time?

The alt.comedy.standup FAQ
Well you could move, but consider starting your own Open Mike. Go to a local bar, or club, or even shopping mall and pitch it to them. Tell them you are going to run a comedy night once a week or so. If you don't have, or can't afford equipment, a bar, or anyplace bands play are usually a good venues. The point is, make things happen for yourself. If you depend upon others for your success, you'll often end up getting screwed politically, financially, or creatively, but seldom physically.

How many Open Mikes do I have to do to become a star, actual3?

The alt.comedy.standup FAQ
It frequently amazes me how many people want - even expect - some kind of instant stardom. As someone who frequents open mics, I think it's important that people understand that the value you get out of them is not some diamond lane to superstardom but the opportunity to try different things in front of an audience and develop a comfort level that allows you to get better.

What else can you tell me about these Open Mikes, actual3?

The alt.comedy.standup FAQ
I consider open mics to be a hobby like fencing or building model railroads or refinishing furniture. You put in time and effort, you achieve a certain level of expertise, but the odds that you'll get back any of the time or money you invest are very small. It becomes a matter of deciding what you're going to do with your life. So what am I going to do with the time I have left here on Earth? I can entertain people who are as bored as I am.

What are open mikes like?

Judy Carter's Comedy Workshop
Some open mikes are pretty weird. You get there and they say, "Come sign in about six o'clock and stand in line. And you'll go on somewhere between nine o'clock and two a.m. And you get to do your little five-minute set at some point. And we're not sure there's going to be anybody left in the audience when you go on, OK?"

Are there other ways besides open mikes?

Judy Carter's Comedy Workshop
I had an idea for one comedian. She was a greeter at Banana Republic, and I said, "Why don't you call your boss and ask if you can do your five-minute set at the next company meeting?" Well, she did it, and they wanted her to do more. Now she's traveling around to Banana Republic stores nationwide, and from there, she gets more jobs.

Can I take it one stage at a time?

Fiona Stephenson Design ::
Absolutely, many people choose to stage the development of the garden either to spread the cost or to allow a slower development of the overall style and use of the garden. One factor worth considering is that plants generally need more "looking after" during the first year or more after planting to establish successfully. It can be useful in larger gardens, to concentrate on separate areas of planting year on year, to spread the necessary maintenance levels.

Stage of cancer refers to the approximate size of a tumor. Prostate cancer staging is based primarily on DRE. Most men with prostate cancer have normal prostate examinations. This is referred to as stage T1c disease. A small abnormal area on DRE known as a prostate nodule is classified as T2a, a larger nodule as T2b. Patients with large nodules felt to represent tumor that has grown beyond the confines of the prostate or beyond the capsule have stage T3 disease.

What I do on my leechur time? You mean when I am not on the stage?

Margarita Pracatan
The first thing is I have a shower and my espresso. And I like to know what is on the news. I like to go to the park and to do my exercise at the gym. I love New York and so I go out everyday to see what is going on - like a tourist – even after so many years. I love happy hour because I don’t like to cook so I have appetizers and drinks, two for one. I also like to practice my piano and play my music very loud.
