Does anybody know if there are any websites etc dedicated to local stand up nights or have info about starting with open mic / local circuit.

After a couple of months of debating whether I have the 'bottle' I think I need to give it a go and decide after my first gig.

*P.S I am sorry if this is in the wrong section

Where are you based?

Do a Google search for comedy clubs in your area, look on Facebook for a list of open mic spots http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=15114049266&ref=ts and have a look on the Chortle comedy forums.

Also there's a great thread here, http://www.manchestercomedyforum.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=19401 about starting your own comedy night.

There is a site which lists all the open mics in my area which I use - but that might not help you.

This site may be of interest, and it covers getting started: http://www.soyouwanna.com/site/syws/standup/standup.html

Closed - append stand-up questions into this thread https://www.comedy.co.uk/forums/thread/16504/
