NYC Open Mic
by paulschissler
Go to a comedy club this week. Take a break for some laughter. Whether it’s an actual show or an open mic, grab a few friends and pick out a local club. You can check out http://www.bedslava.com for a list of all the open mics around NYC.
As a comic, going to open mics can suck. Not just suck, but completely knock the wind out of you and make you crumple on stage. The open mic crowds are usually filled with fellow stand ups, so any new and non-comedian in the crowd is welcomed with open arms.
Support your local comics so they can continue to make you laugh! Plus open mics are usually free.
I highly recommend the open mic at Gotham Comedy Club’s “Vintage Room” on Monday nights at 8:00PM. All the times that I’ve been, the crowd has been supportive and warm. It’s a really laid back, fun environment, with a really nice guy hosting– Ben Rosen. It’s so cool doing an open mic in a famous place like Gotham too.
See you at the comedy clubs, NYC!
