Good open mic. A real stage and awesome sound system. They give you a drink as well. It's a lottery. It does tend to attract many first timers, though.
It is NOT a good stage. They do NOT give you a drink - you have to BUY one to perform, dipshit. It is NOT a lottery, they put up 10 employees first THEN their friends. Fuck this shithole in the ear. The above comment is obviously fake from one of the people who work there. Those losers need new comics to keep showing up so they have someone to fuck over and perform to and steal jokes from.
It's like a cult. The comics that work there are blinded by how horrible Jack treat them and other comics. They drank some cool aid that makes them oblivious to how bad it is and how negative it's effecting their own comedy. Beware the open mic will upset you and don't believe the lies if they ask you to work there.
This is Mr. J. I will not comment on Jack, I think we all have our opinions on him and I don't like to attack nor add anything to the fire. However, I had only been there for the Open Mic. one time and I must say it was enjoyable. The MC Mike, was not only friendly but supportive of the other comics. Sure there is a $5 to perform but you have to support the room plus you get a drink with it and 5 minutes unless your Mr. and Mrs. Moneybags, then you can pay $10 and get 10 minutes. You have the option of paying for recording your set $20 by them or $10 to record yourself. Pretty straight forward. Not bad for a Monday Open Mic. The comics were at least supportive with me and I to them. If you hear a funny joke, let them know... by laughing.
One time, while waiting for my turn, I went outside to put a quarter in the meter. The owner... I think it was the owner (guy with a ponytail?) burst out after me and encouraged me to stay and buy a video of my set. I tried to explain to him that I was just going to put a quarter in the meter, and that I would be right back, but he couldn't seem to hear me (perhaps because people have ducked out on him before??) and kept proceed to pitch me various things I could buy (videos of my performance, tickets to a bringer show, entrance into his comedy contest) ... I had to just cut the guy off and just say LISTEN DUDE I AM JUST GOING TO PUT A QUARTER IN THE METER AND I WILL BE RIGHT BACK TO PERFORM AT YOUR OPEN MIC. I DON'T WANT TO BUY ANYTHING FROM YOU.
But I told myself I would never ever come back here to do a mic.
It just feels like a hustle. But with no shortage of new comics in LA, I'm sure they do just fine, shaking them down one by one.
Came here a while ago and tried to do some jokes, but before I went onstage some man in a robe came up to me and handed me a piece of linen with a weird rune on it. He was mumbling something about old gods? And then nobody in the room would acknowledge that I was there. I went back to my apartment but my roommates claimed that I'd never left.
This open mic and every openmic at this place is horrible.
