Open mic[edit]
Main article: Open mic
Many smaller venues hold open mic events, where anyone can take the stage and perform for the audience. This offers an opportunity for amateur performers to hone their craft and perhaps to break into the profession, or for established professionals to work on their material.[29] Industry scouts will sometimes go to watch open mics.[30] Breaking into the business requires «10 minute[s]» of «A» material. Roadhouses (remote clubs) start booking people for «20 minutes of ‘A’ material».[27] «A» material means getting a big laugh at least «75% of the time».[31]
