hey what up good to see you guys are doing well, im also improving in my game and slightly improving my status in the city, i got an offer to run my own monthly show at a local comedy theater starting in about a week http://do512.com/events/2014/9/15/free-beer-sam-harter-s-comedy-challenge-free-beer

Nice! I have found that being a local comic only at this level, running shows is where the money is hiding. I've made more in the last couple months than I have on all the shows I've been on combined. Emceeing/Booking is a fun challenge too. The grind of trying to get people out to the shows though. Ugh.

Once you get some regulars that spend money, though .

hardest part is i gotta fill up this place at 9pm on a monday for $7 (i didnt get to choose the day or price, most good comedy showcases in town are only $5)

 

[NonPareil]

Making moves. I'm running a monthly, a weekly open mic and working on opening a couple other shows at venues. Comedy isnt paying the bills yet, but its definitely filling my gas tank at least lol

Best of Contest next month.

This week I'm going down to NC on vacation and gonna hit a couple mics in Chapel Hill/Raleigh

 

[True Blue Moon]

Keep grinding breh. I got a goal to get passed at this spot that does a weekly show by next month. Gotta hit open mics hard and get my best 5 minute sets on video.

That's a tip that helped mentally. Open mics suck sometimes, so it's always good to have a concrete goal check off. I found myself being less motivated with just randomly writing jokes, as opposed to building toward something.

Went to the comedy store for the first time last night. Had a great time hanging out. Saw a dude get carried out on a stretcher and a bum gave ME a dollar.

Breh, any good open mic spots in Vegas tomorrow? I'm going to be out there for the night and might try to hit one.

• Blind Tiger – 6295 S Pecos Rd – Sign up with Angie Krum at 8pm, Show at 9pm.

I'll probably be here as well. This is just about the only good one we've got going on wednesdays that I know of. Pros and amatuers. It normally fills up fast but we're really good about putting up visitors. If you want I can inbox you my numbers or add me on facebook (Randall Thompson - my picture is a pic of a spam can). I also run one on thursdays if you get stranded for an extra day. Here's the whole open mic list for you or anybody else that happens to be in town.

Bruh, definitely shoot me your info and I'll also add you on Facebook. Not sure what time I'll be in Vegas, but I'll def try to catch this mic. This'll be my third time in Vegas this year, so it'll be good to get familiar with the scene and work out some jokes any time I'm out there. And this way we can link up whenever you're in LA too.

Hit my first mic in NC last night. I went up and followed Rory Scovel who did like 25 mins. Half the place walked out when he got off LOL
