Nora Boyle replied to Parker Edward Postyeni's discussion Suggestion for first open mic."Well, my experience is that you should have a set of jokes, related or not, but importantly, remember them...
that way, if they are out of order, then it doesn't seem obvious... practice, practice, practice."
PAT GAGLIARDI replied to Parker Edward Postyeni's discussion Suggestion for first open mic."HOW much time are you going to get at the open mic?

I have at least 30 minutes of untested material and was wondering if I should stick to a central theme with my jokes or just take what I feel to be the cream of the crop. The theme I would go for is the difficulty I have meeting woman (I feel that is a relate able subject.)
