just to add my two cents...

I think that the open mic hosts are doing you a favor when they introduce you as "Jim" or "Jimmy" (they're hoping you realize that it should stick). "James" is just way too serious-sounding for a comedian. think about it... there's A REASON that most comics with the given name "James" go by a different first name (Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Jim Carrey, Jim Breuer, Jim Norton, etc.).
