  1. This open mic is not only a good place to work shit out, its also FUN. I went for the first time last Monday (Nov 19) and I've never had a better time at an open mic. The host was funny and accommodating, the people who worked there were fantastic, and the dj was another comedian who played hilarious music in between acts. Some of the other comedians even jumped on stage towards the end of the mic and carried the host of stage and introduced the last performer themselves, all completely unscripted. There isn't a better open mic around LA

  2. I love this mic. It's a very fun and supportive room in a neighborhood that only looks terrifying. It's first come first served, so get there early, goofus!

  3. This mic is without a doubt the best open mic. Supportive, great drinks, sometimes the host does skits, it's amazing. If this were an ebay review I'd say "Great Buyer, fast payment A++++++++"

  7. This mic is hands down the best one in LA. In every measurable way. If this is not on your agenda every week, you miss out. Jay and Ryan are amazing for making this mic the most enjoyable place to be for a comedian on a Monday night.

  8. A great mic. Hollywood hotel is consistently a fantastic place to work out your "chops." The "chops" I've gotten from the hollywood hotel make me feel like I can take on any room in the country! Also very helpful to remember to "do your time" it will really help you in cultivating your "chops"

  9. Pretty awesome night- suer fun, interactive crowd- everyone is supportive and drinks are cheap! bring friends and fill out the crowd but otherwise it's a super fun room o comics.

    No judgements, only lols.

  10. ECHOES UNDER SUNSET

    Echoes Under Sunset is quite an unorthodox medium, with a contrasting demographics and multiple polarized performers all encapsulated in the overall dichotomic whole of humor.

    Ironically I find the juxtaposition of a rooms incongruence to be quite an unpredictable ambience, A state of ambivalence in the core of an experiential ambiguity is quite a discomforting comfort, an oxymoronic notion I embrace irrationally. 

    A gigantic protruding projector and myriads of miscellaneous aesthetics awaiting to be extrapolated by the abstract cerebral observer. Such latent phenomenons oblivious in absurdity craving abstract resolution.

    May I ponder on my dissatisfaction to demystify the enigmas of spontaneity, a paradoxical contention that will indeed obliterate one to demystify the other.  Isn't that ironic? A quest to resolve the consequences of the very said unpredictability you enjoy. The quintessential of human curiosity makes him a victim of his own discretion.

    This open mic is partitioned in all aspect, and the Host deviates in multiple successions beyond the parameters of anticipation, unanticipated verbal and physical intervals, and protruding the audience into a state of perpetual ambivalence. 
    Quite the luxurious rudiments of what humor is contingent on.

    (Echoes Under Sunset) is syntactically ambiguous, one being the literal terminology and the other being the metaphorical non literal interpretations, maybe it has idiomatic potentials, A syntactical denotation that evolves into a contemporary cliche connotation. 

    Nevertheless, My experience here defies description, and I hope this rooms aura doesn't wither into the cold desert air, Because a dull moment here is not a luxury you can afford. Missing this Open Mic would be a perpetual travesty, that will wither you into the cold desert air. My review is without a sense of irony...!

  11. Went here last week for the first time. Very cool spot. Fair lottery, when your name is pulled you sign up whatever slot you'd like as long as it isn't already taken. Its a good setup, and you have peoples full attention. Nothing to compete with. If you're funny, they'll laugh. You get three minutes. Great spot.

  12. I owed a guy 5 grand by Friday because I'd picked the Jets +5 and they hadn't covered the spread. I knew that I wouldn't be able to come up with the money, so my kneecaps were a goner. Suddenly, I got real fatalistic and existential about my life. And decided to take up comedy.

    On the advice of a friend, I went on a site called badslava.com (Google it, it's fantastic!), where I saw Jay's open mic. And I went. Did I bomb? Did I get my kneecaps busted? Yes. Do I now trundle around Los Angeles in a walker with tennis balls, like an old lady (I also wear an old dress to complete the effect). Yes. But l WILL be coming back to this open mic!

    *also, could you install a ramp?

    1. I wouldn't call that talking "white", thats just talking "stupid". I've never heard a white person talk like that. Except maybe an open mic in Silverlake.

    3. Dude if you have a problem with me using the phrase "talking stupid" instead of "stupidly" on a fucking open mic review sit you should be furious at your boy Duck Hat the First. Get off his dick.

      Lol @ being called an anonymous douchebag from an anonymous douchebag writing in all caps.

  19. Atelston Fitzgerald holder the first is brilliant, seen him at e Sleepaway camp headlining last week and the man was hilarious, genius. But the dude is a little off in The head, I spoketo hima few times and he seems to be on a different planet all together very very weird and I don't know if he's acting weird on purpose or just fucking nutty, but either way dude keep up your funny shit.

  24. Brotha please....!
    Tonight atelston Fitzgerald holder 1st got on stage in the MAIN ROOM OPEN MIC and complained about not getting booked, It was hilarious and weird at the same time, I guess the bookers dint find it funny and trashed him on stage. WTF is up with this dude man? Flappers need to ban this nutjob, every comic that interacted wit this dude says he's a little off in the head. Spoke to him once and it was the weirdest conversation ever, one of the female comics said he followed her home one night and parked Infront her building texting her nonstop asking her to invite him up, he eventually left when she threatened to call the police. WEIRD SHIT
    I was like 'did you give the dude your number' she was like 'no' then how the F3k he got it then??.
    She said he took his clothes off and stood in the streets in the middle of the night, he does that shit on stage also, weird weird and creepy.
    Another chic told me she found his business card in her bag, I was like 'did the dude gave it to you? She was like 'no' and her bag was closed all the time, I was like WTF.
    Those writing u copied and pasted into badslaa don't mean shit bro.

  25. So the guy post a positive feedback about the open mic and becomes a target of racism? How small minded are you people? Okay his writing is a little wordy, so what's the big deal? Geez get a life people.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Target of Racism?? He's a fucking weirdo plain and simple and I'm a black guy from Detroit. I wouldn't be surprised if he opened his polyester jacket one day and had a bomb under it or some shit. Just being real he should stick to trying to make Viral Videos or maybe try improv but no one will ever fill up a venue to see this guy perform standup. He should quit.

    1. Well actually I disagree, I think he's a genius and I'm white, and I don't find him weird at all, maybe a little eccentric, but isn't all geniuses?
      The man has millions of YouTube views, a website, a musician and a huge social network, not the mention all the networks he's been on, links are on his site.
      He popped up in LA a few months ago and everyone knows him and he's not hiding under anonymous like you. The real unknown loser is you 'Anonymous'
      TO: 'Anonymous' 'Target Of Racism' Where have you been? The more I read these reviews is the more I feel as if you all are jealous of the guy, because I read his reviews and there's absolutely nothing offensive about the post, infact If he wrote that about my open mic I'd be flattered. You all are just jealous.

  35. atelston most likely has a brain disorder that makes him obsessively and incorrectly use uncommon words. there's a brain disorder that does that, but i can't remember the name of it. he does both, so i figure he's got that shit.

    i like him i guess, but he's no genius. after all, if his purpose in writing is to communicate ideas, then he isn't within miles of achieving that goal. but mostly, his writing makes little/no sense and betrays a poor understanding of usage. unimpressed.

    i'm more interested in what his dayjob is or if he lives on the streets.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Atelston fitsroy or whatever the fuck his long as name is, the dude is wacked in the head. I used to study psychology before pursing standup unfortunately, and after chatting with him a few times I knew he's autistic.

    I heard Tom Arnold grabbed him from the comedy store open mic and used him in his reality show project he's pitching for a network.

    Tom told his producers the dudes a genius but weird to deal with, they used a few comics from the store.

    I don't think he's funny but Tom arnold did and that all that matters at the end of the day. So the dude post a comment and gets everyone attention?

  37. EVERYONE AND I MEAN EVERY COMIC WHO SPOKE TO THAT BROTHER SAID HES WEIRD AS FUCK, HE IS BLACK WITH AN ACCENT AND TALKS VERY FUCKING COMPLICATED WITH A LONGGGG FUCKING NAME, WTF THAT BROTHER IS ON A DIFFERENT PLANET, NOTHING ABOUT HIS BROTHER IS BLACK SO YOU WHITE PEOPLE CAN HAVE HIM PERMANENTELY

  38. Actually here's some inside info; atelston Fitzgerald holder the lol 1st was incarcerated, kid you not, inside info from a laugh factory source. He wrote a blog on his site about the factory and Jamie sued him for defamation of character and copyright infringement on intellectual property etc. The fucking moron photoshopped laugh factory logos and used Jamie Masada photos without the factory approval. What got him arrested was the email he sent Jamie threatening to knock-him-out in public, because Jamie didn't pass him in the audition. Jamie staff forwarded the email to local authorities and he was arrested the same week.

    So no he's not a GENIUS, because a genius has MORE SENSE THAN THAT and no he was not on tom Arnold project, you gullible anonymous open mic bummers. The nutjob was in jail and been running around like a fucking chicken without a head paying heavy and I mean HEAVY FINES. Atelston Fitzgerald holder lol 1st lmao is really fucking hilarious, anyone ever talked to the dude??? He's not a bad person, HE'S JUST A REALLY REALLY LIKEABLE MORON, "LIKE HILARIOUSLY STUPID" very very eccentric and naive, it's like the dude is egoless and hilarious to the point where he seems incoherent and out of touch reality.

    So I see he's back in town and after getting the inside info I approached him and was like "dude where you been? It's been like months" he was like "oh I had some errands to run" In my mind I'm like "Legal errands huh? You genius fuck! In the westside comedy theatre and other mics he does the strangest things like have other comics punch him in his stomach before he goes on stage, WTF KIND OF WEIRD SHIT IS THAT. Here's the most hilarious part about this dude, he hires writers from craigslist to write articles on his site and he specifically wants "VERBOSITY WRITERS" he said BIG WORDS would make him look more intelligent. I SAW THE AD ON CRAIGSLIST,
    http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/wrg/4346164179.html

    HOW NAIVE IS THIS DUDE. The only puzzle about this him is how he makes money and I believe it's from his crazy youtube channel walking around in NYC IN PANTIES
    AND BRA.

  39. Fitzgerald 3rd is a genius but not in the way you all are thinking, he's running circles around everyone so people can think he's a crazy for whatever reason. The man is brilliant because no one knows anything about him yet everyone here is talking about him. I would not be surprised if all these comments were written by fitzroy Adelston holder himself, which is clever when you think of it. I think. I got an email saying that he was the one who emailed everyone saying the laugh factory open mic was cancelled but if that was true how did he get the mailing list? How did he get the laugh factory mailing list? Makes no sense, maybe he was arrested for threatening Jamie at the factory. Man this is so confusing I don't know what to believe. So tell us anonymous, where did you get that information?

  41. This open mic started charging $3 and $5, I'll still go because it's a great mic. As for that black dude with the longggggg name, I can't tell if he's brilliantly clever or insanely stupid. I'll stick to crazy and stupid because he's black wih an acent
