Really nice place. Run well by comedians Jesse and Justin Tuttle. A few "rules"- mainly common sense shit. Set time depends on how many are there, regulars may get a little more.
Usually a crowd of at least 35, but maybe up to 50. The hosts, Jesse and Justin, are really cool and you can email them to get a set secured. The comedians usually bring out funny material. Overall, really fun--if you're out in central Illinois, stop by and check it out.
Jesse and Justin are very professional hosts and have worked very hard to make this a professional show. It's worth noting this is now more of a showcase for comedians who are really working hard to make it in the industry. For anyone looking for a traditional open mic, they also have host Comedy Karaoke at The Clark Bar in Urbana as well. It runs every other Thursday. Check out CU comedy for a contact and more information.
I tried to do their "open mic" but they do sign-ups 3-5 weeks in advance, they don't really do a real open mic. Are there any open mics in that town? I did the Blind Pig open mic with soapbox and that was really fun!
