HOW IT WORKS

1. Sign Up

When you arrive, there will be a line of comics signing up on a clipboard. Put your name in.

2. Wait

Either wait out in front or go next door to Shakespeare's or Sunset Strip until 6:15pm.

3. Check the List

At 6:15pm, the list will be posted on a printed out sheet.

4. Check In (If You Made It)

Check in as soon as you can. You can bring your phone in to record your audio, but do not take pictures.

5. Perform

Line up in order at the back of Little Boy. Do your 3 minute set, then you'll be asked to leave immediately (you do not stay for the entire mic).

πŸ’‘ DIDN'T MAKE THE LIST?

If you didn't make the list, you can stand out in front in the "standby line." Sometimes someone misses their spot and they'll pick from standby to fill it.

It's not guaranteed, but it happens. Stay patient and ready.
