I don't think it ever hurts your chances to hang around the club, though you may become annoying if you're constantly asking for spots. I hang out at Comix because I like most of the shows that are going up. I hang out at a few other places on nights where I'll really enjoy who's performing or where my routine would fit in well. My point being: hanging out at one place too often might not be expanding your horizons, but if your material does really well at places like UCB, why not get on more shows there? If Comix books comedians like you, you should hang out there until you're performing with those people. <br /><br />It hasn't hurt me in any way to say I work at Comix, though many places don't know. UH-OH! They know now!<br /><br />DanDan Wilburhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06416510323389019992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938448068751972875.post-75978943982959864862009-08-14T14:56:05.912-04:002009-08-14T14:56:05.912-04:00Nicely done Dan Wilbur!Nicely done Dan Wilbur!Jessie Gellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17524974748883676734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938448068751972875.post-12770391712954114042009-08-14T10:17:40.863-04:002009-08-14T10:17:40.863-04:00Thanks for the insight, Dan!

Or that other clubs will view you as a "Comix" representative and not give you a pass?Abbi Crutchfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984255030758291096noreply@blogger.com
