Try Before You Gig
Before you book a spot, go and watch a night at the room. You will learn the crowd, the vibe, how the MC runs it and what material lands — so when you do get up, you are not guessing. Comedians who scout a venue first bomb less and get asked back more.

Regarding a performer: 'Mark Pellington is difficult to review. He was the winner, he added life to the night, demonstrated some stage craft and for a new act, did extremely well. You could be forgiven for thinking that he has a future in comedy.'
