Would you say your act will be prop heavy or just moderate?

While I wasnt scared, I did freeze for a few seconds when he turns the lights on, totally blinding you. Even though he warns you.


Try playing music in front of people...I could barely play the first few times, plus I was singing at the time. Shaking like a terrified squirrel.
After about 3 shows or so the nervous energy morphs into adrenaline.
Any type of "public" speaking requires a bit of practice. i.e. You don't have the recent college grad run the contract negotiations.

Nothing like a 100W white light 5 feet from your head....except maybe a yellow one.

I'm pretty certain I could do it....if I had anything funny to say.

I hear that the 2nd time is the true test, when you friends/family aren't there and it's just a roomful of drunk strangers.

I appreciate all these responses. At the moment I'm stuck in the boonies and don't have the disposable income to take a class so I am sort of leaning on an open mic as my only opportunity out here.

Additionally, from what I can gather from this tread and reading the board in general is that half of you seem to be comedians and the other half lawers. Weird.

I do my thing in front of hostile crowds all the time so it usually doesn't bother me much. One night I had to do it at the Music Box and it was a completely different situation. It took me off my game.

It is not just a matter of telling jokes. You need to develop stage presence.

Wait a second. You're saying you regularly perform as a standup comedian? When and where is your next gig?
