Welcome to TommyT’s Open Mike Night.
Participants pay a cover charge/entry fee of $5.
Doors open at 6 (the show will start at 7, or when the slots are filled, whichever comes first)
Due to demand we are only able to accept the FIRST 30 COMICS and you must sign yourself in before 7:00 PM. (No exceptions. No one else can sign you in)
All comics must have 4 minutes of written material. The red light is given at a
3 minute timer. You have to get to the end of your set before the 4 minute light goes on.
If you are still onstage after that minute has passed we will flash the red light.
That red light means your time is up. If you stay on stage at this point you will be disqualified.
You will not be penalized for getting off stage early
If you are verbally asked to leave the stage or the volume is turned down and you still don’t leave the stage you will not be eligible to participate in our open mic program.
Please remember that the host is also a judge. If you speak to him/her while a comic is on stage this judge will not be able to pay necessary attention to the performing comedian.
As a courtesy to those around you and the other comedians please turn off cell phones, and remember there is no talking/heckling. You know how hard it is to do new material. Distractions make it that much worse… Be respectful to the other comedians.
**Tommy T’s Open Mic is a privilege, not a right and not a guarantee. We would love to help you build your comedy persona. We encourage you to write your own material down, and bring your notebooks to the club so that you can make notes on your performance. You are also encouraged to tape your set. Content that is too vulgar, too explicit, too offensive or just not funny enough for a paying audience may result in you not being invited to perform again.
