Comedy Night Produces Laughter
From 8-10 p.m. at The Southern Cafe and Music Hall on a Monday night in September, an open mic comedy night was hosted by Keith to entertain the crowd of spectators. Before the stand up comedy started, Keith gave the crowd his appreciation for coming in tonight. The crowd was smaller in comparison to other comedy nights. As Keith explained, “The comedy nights usually get bigger crowds in comparison to this one.” The audience consisted of three couples, me, and another lady. Some returning comedians came to test out some new material they came up with to see if it would be a hit with the crowd. Each person making jokes had their own style ranging from shock/edgy humor, stories from their life, sex jokes, political jokes, and improv.
Many of the jokes got a chuckle out of the audience while a certain few caused the room to erupt in laughter, like one joke in regard to someone’s hair. The crowd always gave a round of applause to each comedian as many of the jokes seem to have given them an enjoyable experience for the night. However, as the jokes went by, the time for them to end at 10 p.m. came swiftly. Keith asked if anyone in the crowd wanted to do any stand up comedy before they finished up but no one was interested in joining in. Keith then gave the audience his appreciation as he considered the audience a great crowd for its size.
If anyone in The Southern Cafe wanted to come back to attempt or watch stand up in the future, Keith explained that comedy nights happen every Monday at the same time.
