I would recommend that you have max confidence in your act before you go after this gig. You don’t get a second chance at a first impression.

That is truly relieving how you take the time to analyze someone’s feedback and reply to it- swiftly for that matter! A lot of sites seem not to care about feedback, only sales. You genuinely mean to help people better themselves Steve. That is rare these days in any walk. That said, I have my own question. Last Fall, I had a friend visit , I live in New York so naturally he expected me to plan all activities. ( since everyone in New York knows what’s going on 24/7.) My friend is my old college roommate and is a thirtysomething so he didn’t care about the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building etc. He wanted a memorable trip nonetheless. I needed an event for Sunday night and asked a friend who works in the city for an idea. He said ” take him to the comedy club, they practically give away admission on the weekends and I know how you love standup. No- brainer” I took him up on it and brought my friend to Rodney Dangerfield’s. That night’s lineup was okay, but not unforgettable. He had a blast. Afterward I asked the emcee if there was an open Mic night. He told me there was, and after I explained how much I have put into my routine, he told me I had an open invitation and that every week there were talent scouts among the crowd. My question is this. Would you advise someone to attempt this kind of venue early on? I feel confident in my act, but to bomb there could send all I’ve worked for into a tailspin. Your thoughts?
