I'm a comedian, but work nights and it's killing my open mic opportunities...?

Question

...not to mention the few booking that I had. Any suggestions on how to get some bookings?

Answer 1

Yeah, one, you can work days, then go to open mics. Two, you can do what I've heard others do: look into companies hiring comedians for conferences, and do a few conferences a month. They're a great excuse for a three day weekend and, if you choose wisely, you can see many places for free. Finally, do some weekend bookings. Look into events like Bar/Bat Mitzvahs as a side performer or something of the sort.

All of these suggestions should help. Good luck!

Answer 2

You shouldn't have given up your day job. (ka-boom)
