It’s hard enough to book actual working comedians into bars, bowling alleys, and other non-comedy club venues. And even when they do get booked, many times there is simply no interest on the part of the audience in a comedy show. They’re there to have a few drinks and watch the ballgame on TV, or bowl with their pals, not listen to some comic they’ve never heard of and who, frankly, probably isn’t all that funny. The audiences at these kinds of shows usually don’t even listen, but they can and often do go from uninterested to hostile, making for a very unpleasant evening for all concerned. There’s a reason these kinds of shows are known as “hell gigs” among comedians. And if that’s how they treat actual working comedians, you’d better believe it’s going to be ten times worse if they have to sit and listen to a bunch of open mic amateurs, most of whom are not only not funny, they’re downright anti-funny. I can’t imagine any non-comedy venue agreeing to allow an open mic night. If you can somehow convince one to, I doubt if they’ll agree to a second one. But if you think you can pull it off, by all means go for it, and more power to you! Keep us posted!
