Comedy Clinic Student Books a Week in Ohio

It’s always a pleasure to share in the success my students. That’s what I’m going to blog about today. One of my students, Jason London, went out to Toledo, Ohio to visit his girlfriend’s family. If that wasn’t courageous enough, he called the Funny Bone in Toledo to ask for a guest spot. And in taking my suggestion, he told the manager of the Funny Bone that he plays regularly at the Comedy Store. They loved the idea of having a comedian who plays at the world famous Comedy Store, so they gave him an audition booking. He went out there and did his thing putting on a show that was so good, the booker booked him at the club for a week!

That’s a very impressive start for someone who’s only been doing stand up for 24 weeks. He’s already getting paid bookings in an A-Club in the midwest. this is big news for any comic. How did it happen? Well, first of all Jason works hard at writing his material. Despite having a job that keeps him busy, sometimes for 12 hour days, he musters up the energy to write his material. Then he comes to class religiously at the Stand Up Comedy Clinic and gets notes on his routines and incorporates them. He makes sure his material has structure because it’s the structure that get the laughs.

And without belaboring the point, let me just say Congratulations to Jason London for booking his first week-long gig at an A-Club! Let’s keep this up and get more bookings!
