The crowd and the lack of space in the Great Basin seem to be a challenge for the servers who run around refilling beers and taking dinner orders. Angie Kirk, a three-year employee at the Great Basin, has never had a problem with the crowd and has seen more people come this year for comedy. He's an aspiring comic who said he hopes to go professional someday. The Great Basin is a place for him to feel relaxed in front of the audience. It has a family atmosphere, making my act more relaxed.
People can perform on stage if they have at least two minutes worth of material.
1. Have at least two-minutes of material you want to say and, 2. Come more than once. You don't become funny in only one night. Open-mic comedy at the Great Basin is at 9 p.m. every Thursday night. Comedy night will move to Wednesday nights starting May 30.
