![]() ![]() Once you have been to see a show, know and understand the rules of CMN, and have between three and five original minutes of stand-up comedy material, you’ll be ready to perform on the show. The show is run by stand-up comedians and is heavily attended by the local comedy community, so if it’s not original to you, we’ll know. Make sure that there is nothing in your set that is a street joke (“Two guys walk into a bar…”), a joke you read on the Internet, or a joke that you heard from someone else (especially if it’s another stand-up comedian). It is also very important (kind of an unwritten rule) that the material that you present is of your own creation – because that is what stand-up comedy is making an audience laugh with your punchlines, your thoughts, and your stories. Blaming the audience for failure or insulting them as a group or individually will not be tolerated. That’s OK – you can fix a joke or come up with a new one. If they aren’t laughing – it probably wasn’t funny. Early in your comedy career, it’s never the audience’s fault. If you do anything to hurt that, you’ll just be hurting yourself. We enjoy using Broken City to present our show and want to continue to do so. Mocking or belittling the venue or employees is another great way to never be invited back to perform at Comedy Monday Night. If you think another performer isn’t very good, keep it to yourself. Taking a shot at another performer on stage is a surefire way to alienate yourself from the industry and not be invited back. Don’t try to set the stand-up comedy world on fire (you most likely won’t), just have a good time. ![]()
