Overheard Backstage peers behind the curtain (or brick wall) into the offstage area where comics gossip, bicker, and make each other laugh. Overheard @ Giggles Comedy Club:

She wants you, Mike

“Are you really going to open with your singing again? Seriously, you’re still doing that?”

“I have to.”

“Why don’t you try starting with a punchline. You know, open with a joke.”

“I can’t! My material sucks! If I don’t open by singing BeyoncĂ©, THEY WON’T LIKE ME!!

The latter was yelled by the very funny Mike Corning, who went on to have a fantastic set. They love you, Mike!
