This article provides an entertaining glimpse into the world of stand-up comedy and open mic nights in particular. It focuses specifically on Seattle, and in profiling the open mic experience at different locations, examines the joys and perils that confront people who aspire to be stand-up comedians. A friend who attends many open mics and performs comedy shows in town was interviewed (although not quoted) for this piece. While the article itself takes on a very specific starting point, it uses that as a lens by which to view stand-up comedy more broadly.
Happy Friday!
