    Don't be afraid to do something "too smart" or "too bizarre". I made that mistake near the beginning and of my open-micing and now totally regret it.

    A little tip from me, a veteran, to you, a rookie:

    Near the end of your set, you say "check this out" and then you take out your dick. This way you can tell from who looks away and who doesn't who you could fuck if you wanted. I suggest fucking a dude for power reasons, but thats just me

    Another great show in the bag most of the comedians had way more experience but I held my own, all did 5 min opening for Sean Patton who killed it all in all it was a great show and I cant wait to get up again.

    just remember that what does poorly with one audience could kill in front of another. if they aren't laughing, don't let it get to your head.
