I get asked often what a new comic should wear on stage. This is a nebulous, difficult thing to explain. I give my best motherly advice on the subject. Also, I am not only a comedy mom and I am an actual mom. Today is laundry day. You'll probably hear my washer. 

Today, Mom gets preachy! I'm going over the basic rules of open mic comedy, and touch on the semi-pro side as well. We all know rules suck. If you are performing stand up comedy, you are likely a rebel. I get it. This episode will help you get a leg up and keep you out of trouble. At least with me. 

As always: Take your vitamins, take care of yourself, and don't be a dick on stage. 

Episode 1! We are tackling the question everyone asks. How do you get started in stand up? This is how your first open mic (should) go. Learn everything you need to know before hitting the stage for the first time! 

If you are looking for an open mic in Bend, Oregon just go to www.ipockpro.com! The open mics I run are Tuesdays and Wednesdays at Craft Kitchen & Brewery.
