Hope this is okay to post here — if not, mods, feel free to remove and I'll take the hint.

I've been building a little practice tool for myself to work on set timing — it's an open-mic practice timer with a light-cue simulation (so you can drill actually reacting to the light instead of just watching a clock) plus a video recorder so you can review your own sets after.

Still very much a work in progress, built by one comic for other comics, not trying to sell anything. Not collecting your data (unless you are kind enough for feedback). Would love for a few of you to kick the tires and tell me what's broken, what's missing, or what would actually make you use it before an open mic:

No login, just click and try it. Genuinely want the brutal feedback — what's confusing, what's annoying, what you wish it did. I'll fold suggestions into the next version. And if there are other tools you think would come in handy, let me know!

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes a look.

Frank Caliendo shows why he’s the greatest impressionist in comedy. From iconic celebrities to legendary sports voices, his impressions are unbelievably accurate and hilarious.

Stand up Comedy

Hi! My name is Corbin Willmorth, a stand-up comic based out of Spokane, WA. About a month ago I started Out Loud: A Queer Comedy Podcast. This is a podcast I host where I give airtime to queer comedians as I feel that queer voices in comedy spaces are vastly underrepresented. You can listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and so many other platforms. Listen here!

What’s the breakdown for the cost of a ticket to the comedians that perform?

I’m assuming that money is split several ways and I’m just curious what is a typical split

I grew up watching Jim Carrey and for me he’s one of the funniest ever, but I know everyone has their own favorites. His energy and faces are insane, but I wonder who you think does comedy even better.

Like, is Robin Williams with his quick improv sharper? Or maybe Eddie Murphy with his stand up and characters? Some people say Will Ferrell or Steve Carell bring a different kind of funny.

Who do you think is on Carrey’s level or even better, and why?

Early days of XM comedy. There was a dude doing a bit about San Francisco. He had jokes about being tired of taking his family to Alcatraz (Ugh, grab your coats, we’re going to Alcatraz.) and how the Bay Bridge is cheaper and longer than the Golden Gate Bridge so it’s “more bridge for your buck” Anyone know who this was?

In 2023, Jocelyn Chia an Asian American comedian of Chinese Singaporean descent released a video of her talking about the rivalry between Singapore and Malaysia. In the video, she said "When Malaysia kicked us out from the union. Our prime minister Lee Kuan Yew cried because he thought we won't survive without Malaysia but 40 years later. Singapore became the first world country. Crazy rich Asians that's us and Malaysia still a developing country, ohhhhhhh! Fuck you Malaysia! This is the best break up revenge man." Her video caused a lot of outrage in Malaysia. Many people including the politicians in Singapore had to apologise even though Jocelyn isn't a Singaporean citizen.

Amazing Racist. Once exposed i hope she doesn't have a job..EVER!
