Hopefully booked a "Stand up" spot

[simon the viking]

A local venue has an open mike tomorrow featuring Stand up comedy, Poetry, prose etc and a while ago I wrote a routine and never had the nerve to search for an outlet for it but tomorrow if a space is available.....

If people find it hilarious, its stand up, if they don't laugh its an amusing prose piece.....

Wish me luck!

Good luck, it takes bravado to do that. Cheers.

I did a 5 minute stand up some years ago at the open mike in our local, longest 5 minutes of my life, a fantastic buzz even though I was booed off.

Take your time and enjoy yourself simon, after all if they don't enjoy it too it's their loss not yours!

Good luck.

Some extra material to keep up your sleeve...

I'm not saying my mother in law's fat, but she has her own postcode


btw, hope it goes well and that you enjoy it. I regularly address rooms of anywhere between 20 to 200 people, and I'm fine singing on a stage, but not brave enough to do stand up. Hats off to you.

Good luck, i admire anyone who has the courage to try stand up.

I used to run a karaoke/disco so fine singing with a mike but when in the past I've had to deliver a power point training presentation for a previous job I was as nervous as hell.......

What offence do you have to commit to get taken to a courtroom big enough to hold 200 people?

I actually like standing up in front of large audiences, I do it a fair bit as part of my job, largest was an hours presentation to a 300+ crowd in Shanghai with a translator.. that was fun.

Didn't @Moon bunny do something similar? You could get some tips from her.
