I booked my open mic stand up comedy slot - Page 3

So, is your comedy like conservative comedy? Like, Larry the Cable Guy stuff?

Also do you discuss pegging in your routine

Anyone ever see the standup of Tim Heidecker (of Tom Goes to the Mayor and Tim & Eric Awesome Show fame)? He did a few sets adopting a painfully unfunny and amateurish style that was, somehow, ultimately hilarious. One might call it Kaufmanesque but it's not even that sophisticated, it's just a straight up caricature of a wannabe standup failing really, really hard

I assume this has come and gone,
did you crash and burn
or did you win?
have you booked a second night?

vixnix · 01-21-2016, 11:08 PM

Oh no, I booked for the 5th March. I'm going in with a friend a couple of weeks earlier, to check out the other talent and try and get an idea of what the audience might be like.

fuzzyroes · 01-21-2016, 11:40 PM

What kinda stuff are you covering in your set?

Usually, I derive some schadenfreude from bombing comedians, but this just made me feel awful.

T&T · 01-22-2016, 02:05 AM

march?

what tiny town do you live in where there's so few comedy nights you book 3 months in advance.

vixnix · 01-22-2016, 02:28 AM

It could have been sooner, I mean it could have been this weekend if I wanted it to be. But they allow bookings that far ahead so I choose to give myself time to check out the setup and develop my material.

Just general observational stuff. I thought about having some kind of more pronounced shtick, but it's a lot of work for me to write that way, and a lot harder for me to deliver it. I'll find it much easier to just be myself, and that's the kind of comedy I most enjoy.

the worst part was him whispering "keep your shit together" to himself, and yet into the mic at the same time :/

I'd consider chipping in on airfare for ****** to heckle from the audience.

vixnix · 01-23-2016, 05:57 AM

She'd need accommodation, too. Unless she wants to camp down at Central Station with the tent people.

I see a lot of fully-figured women interested in 50s pin-up culture.

Betty Page? More like Betty Novel.

ilikeplanets · 10-14-2017, 11:19 PM

so did you actually do the stand up?

also, i used to have a crush on tom green. ew

vixnix · 10-15-2017, 12:48 AM

I did, about 7 mum-friends came with me and they made up half the audience. I think there were 8 stand ups altogether and I was probably 2nd worst. It went about as badly as I expected - with so many friends coming I became cowardly and wrote a routine based on rbg's one liner about ferrets just being weasels with better PR.

I posted the routine here afterwards. It was terrible, bland and unfunny. It's buried in a chat thread somewhere. One of my friends recorded it but I don't know where the recording is. I sound nervous and high pitched and slightly upset.

I'll have another go someday.

ilikeplanets · 10-15-2017, 08:30 AM

ah, i was on hiatus during this then. too bad! i like your voice
