Creating a Comic

Bombing, killing, and other occupational hazards

Welcome!

I'm your host, CJ Alexander.
This is my blog about breaking into stand-up comedy.

In the very near future1, Giggles Comedy Club will come under new ownership. Unfortunately, signs point to the club being either closed or turned into an entirely different kind of establishment — which means my April 2nd and April 3rd shows in the Giggles Laugh-Off Competition could be your last chance to see me perform there.

It’s also your chance to help earn my undying gratitude and devotion, because:

  • The audience does the voting! Everyone who comes can vote for their three favorite comics, so my fate is directly in your hands.

  • I’m using the weekend to record my ten minute demo video, and a friendly audience would be a huge help.

There are nine comics competing that weekend, and several of them are comedy powerhouses who’ve been doing stand-up for many years. I have no delusions about my chances to win my weekend — I have no chance — but a strong score against seasoned competition could really give my comedy career a boost. I would really love to come in the top five. I think this is achievable, with a little help from my friends.

Giggles Comedy Club
The future of Giggles is very uncertain.
Don’t miss this chance to go!

I’ve been writing this blog for nearly a year now, and in all that time I have mentioned a few of my upcoming shows, but never begged for a crowd. Well, my Internet friends, I am now begging. There are four shows to choose from at 8pm and 10pm on both Friday, April 2nd and Saturday, April 3rd. Please choose one of those four shows, and come help me make my last weekend at my home club a memorable one!
