The Comedy Grab Bag is open to professional comedians, amateur comedians, that person who wants to try stand up comedy for their first time, or maybe has been
"dared" by their friends.. While it is open to all in the sense of comedic ability we still reserve the right to decline participation for any reason, the most common being bad
attitude, not following rules, negative referrals etc...

To sign up for the open mic you must be on our approved open mic list.
If you ARE NOT on our approved list send us an e-mail. In the subject line put "open mic list request". In the body of the e-mail give us your name, phone #, websites
and any links to video if you have (it's not required that you do, but if you do it's nice to know) and then tell us a little bit about yourself. Most of the time we will add you
to the list and notify you within 48 hours at the latest. If you haven't heard back from us within that time feel free to e-mail us.
If you ARE on our approved list go to www.bunjoscomedy.com/openmicsignup.html You can bookmark this site for future sign ups.
Every Sunday a new sign up sheet will be posted for the comingThursday Open Mic.
If the list is full you are always welcome to come to the open mic in case we have any last minute cancellations or no shows.
If you sign up for a spot and can't make it you must go back to the list and delete yourself. Do not just send us an e-mail saying you need to cancel.
If you cancel within 24 hours of the open mic or are a no show we may remove you from our approved list. We realize that sometimes emergencies come up and we are
willing to be flexible, but just remember when you cancel with little notice you are possibly preventing someone else from performing.
HOW TO SIGN UP FOR OUR OPEN MIC
|
- All open mic participants are required to pay the $5 cover charge. You will get a drink ticket good for one non-alcoholic drink.
- While this is not necessarily a clean room we do ask that you use common sense when it comes to content of your material. An "F" bomb or dick joke here or there
is okay, but is this is all your act is than you will not be asked back.
- The show starts at 7:30 pm. You must check in by 7:15 pm or you risk losing your spot. Everyone gets a 5 minute set unless told otherwise.
- You will be given a "light" from the back of the room when you have one minute remaining in your set. You may be given the light early or late based on our
discretion.
- When you get the light try to acknowledge that you have seen it. This can with a little nod, wave, wink etc... Do not say things like "Well it looks like I have to get
out of here" or "I just got the light so I have to go" etc... This is very amateurish and can also bait the audience into applauding for you to stay longer. This puts us in
a bad position and is not fair to the other comedians.
- If the joke you end on falls flat your time is still up. Do not try to do another quick joke that you think will make up for it.
- When your time is up if you have not left the stage music will start playing and you are expected to leave the stage immediately.
- TIP THE WAIT STAFF. This is just common courtesy and just because you are in the show does not mean your are exempt from tipping.
- Any comic that does not follow these rules will not be asked back to the open mic.
