I remember why I hate open mics. It strikes me that they are only good for mining a phrase here, and an idea there. There's not much in the way of useful crowd response, so it's not like you can really test a joke.

Nothing says "stand up" quite like a big empty room, (if you discount the Koreans munching on chicken wings in the back) It's not a place to learn your craft. It's a place to learn humility. That's it. There is nothing more to gain from it.

It is most likely that if you kill at an open mic, then you are probably the funniest guy in your office.

I have nothing else to offer this evening…
