You got some funny bones in ya?

Ok – so you’re pretty funny….

Well , it's one thing to make some of your friends laugh at a party. It's a whole other ballgame to get on a stage in front of an audience and do stand-up comedy. That’s for real.

So why not try it? On the second Thursday of every month we offer Amateur Nights. It’s your chance to try some original comedy with a live audience in a club setting. Once you get one or two laughs on stage, we’re pretty sure you'll get hooked.

How to appear on Amateur Night

If you are interested in getting a spot on our Amateur Night Show – here’s how to do it.

  1. First ensure you have prepared 5 minutes of original comedy material, then find a computer and send an email to mwall@blackfootinn.com. In the Subject field type Amateur Night In the body of the email type your name and phone number.
  2. Then check back here for the lineup, to see if you were selected to appear.

Please arrive at the club prior to 7:30 PM the night of the show to confirm your appearance. Upon arrival, check in with Simon. He will notify you of the order of appearance and how much time you will be performing that evening. Typically, your performance should be around five minutes of original material. Please stay within your allotted time; performers who go over their time may not be scheduled again. Please do not call the office to request Thursday night spots. You are responsible to check the website for the lineup after sending your request, if you are added to the lineup and fail to be in attendance, you may not be scheduled again.

***If you have not appeared at the Laugh Shop before, we suggest first coming down to watch an amateur night so you can view our format and introduce yourself to us ***

 

At this time we do not have any amateur nights scheduled. Please feel free to check back here as we will post a new date once we have one confirmed.
