5 things comics should avoid on stage

By Creig Ewing

You have your jokes. You have some experience. Here are 5 things newer comics often do that you should work to eliminate.

Asking how everyone is doing

If you’re on a showcase or open mic, you may be one of a dozen or more comics performing. Ten of you are going to ask the audience how they’re doing at the start of your set. Don’t be one of them. It just gets awkward.

If you can get your first laugh in 30 seconds, you can get the audience on your side. If you waste their time, they’ll tune out.

Get right into your material and get a laugh.

Giving it up

In addition to asking how everyone is doing, comics love to ask the audience to give it up for all the comics on the show or the venue or the valet parking attendant.

Let the host worry about that. Get into your material.

This is true

Some comics like to tell a bit and say, “that’s really true.” Or “that’s not true.” Stop. If you are using material about you or your family, the audience is supposed to believe it’s true

Or it’s so outlandish we know it’s not true. Don’t make the audience be fact checkers.

Asking the audience questions

Comics love to get into jokes by asking the audience questions like, “Who here is familiar with the New International Version of the Bible?”

If no one responds, will that keep you from telling the Bible joke? I hope so. If not, don’t ask and get into your joke.

We had one open mic with a pretty big but very unresponsive audience. They just kept quiet, but comic after comic asked things like, “Who here is married?” “Who has kids?” “Who smells like weed?”

The audience never responded, even though everyone in the audience was married, had kids, smelled like weed or at least understood those concepts.

If you have a joke that requires verifying with the audience whether or not they are familiar with the subject matter, good luck with that. If not, just tell your joke.

Asking the audience to repeat what they said

You are doing your material and hear someone in the audience say something. Do not ask the audience member to repeat what they said unless you plan to give them a hard time for talking.

What if what they said was, “This guy sucks.” You want them to repeat it louder? This is no time to be curious.

You are on stage and in charge. Don’t encourage audience members to talk.

Good luck, and give it up for your host.

Things comedians need early in their careers

By Creig Ewing

You started your comedy journey and performed at open mics. Congratulations. Now you want to get booked on other shows. Here is what you’re going to need to reach out and get those spots:

What newer comics need

A decent photo of yourself

If you’re booked my show, I will want to put your photo on a flyer. Don’t make me search through Facebook for the only photo of you in focus and have to crop out the wedding party.

It’s amazing how many comics don’t have a decent photo of themselves.

A video of yourself performing

If I don’t know you, I will want to see a video of you on stage. So make sure you have a video that represents you well.

I get lots of emails from comics telling me how funny they are. Sorry, that don’t cut it. Send a video.

If your video was taken from your phone in the back of the room where I can hear audience members talking while you are performing, that’s not good. If I can’t hear the audience laughing, that’s also not good.

A pair of pants

If you’re going to be on a paid show, don’t show up in shorts or sweatpants. C’mon.

A good email address

You may need to email bookers to ask about being on shows. When I get emails from SusanSmith@hotmail.com and your name is Bob Jones, I get confused.

Or if your email is fantasysportschamp#1@aol.com, maybe change it to something more professional and easier to find.

Many times I have tried to email Bob Jones back to put him on a show and can’t find his email. Make it easy.

Ability to remember your jokes

You may have the greatest jokes in the world, so commit them to memory. Don’t expect to get booked if you have to read material from your phone on stage.

At least a solid 5 minutes of material

I know you are eager to get your career in gear, but you should have at least 5 minutes of solid material before you ask for even a guest spot on a show.

This means people are laughing where they are supposed to laugh at your jokes. If you don’t know where they are supposed to laugh or think they should be laughing at everything, you aren’t there yet.

A bit of stage presence

You should be somewhat comfortable and confident on stage — or appear so. You should remember to put the microphone behind you and look at the audience.

This gets easier the more experience you have.

What newer comics DON’T need

A stage name

Sure, lots of successful comics have stage names, but you don’t need one. If at some point you decide you want to be Reuben Sandwich The Comedian, you can always change.

But if you are starting out in comedy and want people you know to come to your shows and be able to promote them, they may not know you are Fat Guy With Glasses The Comic.

You’re in show business. Not witness protection. If you don’t want anyone you know to see you on stage, why would I want to book you?

A dedicated comedy page or website

Sure, at some point when you are a feature or a headliner, you will want to have your own comedy Facebook page and website, but not after your first open mic.

A podcast

Everyone has one, and you can join the fun at some point. But get some experience first.

Now go out and get a decent photo, video and pair of pants. Pants first.

Tips for getting booked early in your comedy career

By Creig Ewing

You’ve been going to open mics for a while, and you’re ready to be booked on a comedy show. Maybe even for some money. What do you need to do to catch the eye of a booker or club owner to get on a show?

First, you want to be ready. Comedy is not easy. Think of it this way. You wouldn’t expect someone put you in their band if you’ve only had six lessons. So why should someone pay you to be on their show if you’ve only done six open mics?

When your opportunity comes, you want to be ready to impress. Here are some things you can do to be ready and in demand for shows.

Make sure you have at least a strong 5 minutes

It’s not enough to just survive 5 minutes on stage. To get booked, you need to consistently get laughs. Also, you should be able to get through your set without notes — and especially without looking at notes on your phone.

Work on getting your “tight 5.” It may mean refining what you started with. It may mean throwing it all out and starting over.

Learn from audience reactions what is working and what needs to be refined or tossed. Don’t be afraid to get rid of material that isn’t working.

Know where in your set you are expecting people to laugh. Are they? If not, you need to make a change.

If there are no specific places you expect people to laugh because it’s ALL FUNNY, I’m sorry to tell you that probably none of it is funny.

Work on your stage presence

It’s not enough just to tell jokes. As you progress, you should get more confident on stage. Bookers want to see you command the stage and not appear nervous.

Bookers can tell you are really new if you leave the microphone stand in front of you during your set. Or if you look at the ceiling or the floor instead of the audience.

Be confident. Look at the audience. Put the mic stand behind you.

Have solid, unique material

Maybe you’re getting laughs with your jokes about dating apps or airplane food. But bookers have heard similar jokes before hundreds of times, so that material doesn’t bring much to the table, unless you have a new spin on it.

Work on material that is more about you and your experiences and lets us know you.

When we do comedy writing classes it never fails that people are doing material about Donald Trump and you ask a couple questions and find they adopted a one-eyes squirrel with a peg leg and never considering writing material about that.

Look for your own one-eyed peg-leg squirrel and write about her.

Have material that is cleanish

You have more opportunities if you can work clean. Most shows you don’t have to be clean. But newer comics tend to lean on topics like sex, bodily secretions, paying for sex, paying for bodily secretions, etc. It can be a bit much.

You can certainly be very funny with any of that material. But many newer comics assume that just because it’s dirty it’s funny. We’ve heard it all a million times.

Your first show probably won’t be at a comedy club with up-for-anything audiences. Bookers may not want to risk in-your-face new comics saying mother fugger 37 times and turning off the audience who may be at their first comedy show at a brewery with toddlers running around.

It just takes on complaint to the right person that the comics were too dirty or transphobic or racist to get the venue to pull the plug on future shows.

I’d strongly suggest working on material that is cleaner first and then going back and dirty it up later if you want. Maybe with a little added sophistication to your jokes about taking a dump.

Be a draw

If you can get people to come to a show, whether because you haven’t worn out all your friends and family on open mics, your co-workers want to see you in a “real show” or you are TikTok famous, great.

If you can get people in the doors, that’s what bookers want. Let them know you can get people to come see you. But make sure your people show.

Network

Don’t just go to open mics, do your five minutes and smoke outside. Talk to people who run shows and other comics. Let them know you’re available, working hard at comedy and available for shows.

Good luck.
