I've heard it takes about 18 months for a new open mic comedy show to get its legs on the ground, gain momentum and start running. Seaton Smith was able to do that at Bossa Lounge in less than a year. This open mic consistently showcases a range of talented comics, all at different points in their careers.
Last night's show was no different, except there were 9 or 10 very talented comics who were not able to perform due to time constraints. The management at Bossa insists that this weekly show end at 10:30pm, even though it often starts around 9:15. They do this because an empty room used for nothing at all, generates more business than an entertained crowd that buys drinks.
Unfortunatly last night may have been the last show in Bossa's 16 month run. Not only is Bossa a great venue to perform, but it also increases awareness for newer rooms like Rendezvous. This is one instance where I believe the right choice is the one which generates the most revenue. Hopefully the management at Bossa will run their business, like a fucking business.
