I was talking to a couple comics from the scene recently. They felt like they had to "perfect" at open mic. There seems to be this idea that open mics are like mini showcases and you have to have to have a perfectly polished five minutes.
This is completely, and utterly, false. Disagree with me? @me about it.
So, I rant about why for 25 minutes.
There is only one part of your "Open Mic Trajectory" that you should feel pressure whatsoever when performing at an open mic. Listen to find out when that is. So you know when you can just do a shot or two and enjoy hanging with your teammates.
As always email me at [email protected] or send me a message on social media. (Let's be honest, if you're reading this or listening to the podcast you probably know how to reach me.)
