It's time once again for Stand-up comedy, otaku style(hard to believe it's been four years since the first one). We're gonna get ready to make Fanime rofl.
Just waiting for staff approval before we can start dancing in joy(at least I will XD ). We are approved and good to go. ;)
UPDATE: 05/05/2012Our scheduled time is Saturday May 26th, from 7pm to 9pm in Panels 3. (Same room as last year)
Please show up at least 15 minutes before the show starts.
Here's the order of the performances:
Glitch(me)
Dr. Scientist
Registered Trademark
PassLion
Gaspar
Fazio
Johan Miranda
Soap
James Smith
Dennis Pham
Sanosukesama
Trung Truong
G.
If you have any questions or concerns about the list message me.
Update: 04/24/2012Fanime is really close.(boy that was fast) Here's what's going on.
Each comedian gets 8 minutes. Waiting list people get five minutes.
I further explain this in the email I sent to everyone.
Respond on this thread or email me to let me know you are still interested in performing at Fanime.
UPDATE: 03/27/2012Just a quick note I should have mentioned a while ago. This panel is 16+. You do plenty of dirty jokes, but just don't go into graphic detail about bodily fluids and other gag reflex inducing humor. XD
Also, you can still sign up. If there is time left over at the end of the panel, I'll let an extra person perform.
UPDATE: 03/15/2012And we have our time and location. It is Saturday from 7pm to 9pm in Panels 3. The same room as last year. We are two hours this time.(the last time this happened was in 2009)
Even though we are in a waiting list, don't be afraid to apply. Things happen and we never know if somebody will drop out. so far, nobody on the waiting list yet.
UPDATE: 03/05/2012Good Cthulhu, did a lot of new people sign up!
For now, new sign ups are on a waiting list. Don't worry if you wanted to sign up, you may still have your chance. so don't be discouraged.
You're on the waiting list if you received an email very explicitly saying so.
UPDATE: 02/21/2012So here it is ladies and gentlemen. How to apply. Newbies and experienced comedians are all welcome.
Send an email with the following info.
Actual name (yes, it'll be kept private upon request):
Email: phone number I can reach you during the convention:How you want to be introduced before your performance(otherwise I just say your name):Email to
[email protected]. Make sure to put "COMEDY CLUB" in the subject line(any questions you have can also be sent to this address).
People who have performed in previous years at the comedy club get guaranteed spots.
And also be ready to memorize and time your sets, and make sure it is comedy relating to anything geeky(that's kind of a given but just to clear all bases).
I'm interested in giving it a go, again.
I wanna be in it. What's the process to enter?

Got your email.
It's pretty much first come,first serve for spots. I am pretty confident that everybody that applies will be in the show. Since we're two hours this year, we have a comfy amount of time.
Is this for experienced comedians or do you accommodate newbies? :)

It's for anybody who wants to try. A huge chunk of our performers started out as newbies when they first did this panel(that includes me). As long as you think you got the desire to tell jokes and not get stage fright, you're good.
In case anybody was wondering, there is no audition process.
Why hello there Fanime comedy club, you will always be my favorite spot to perform at.
E-mail sent (Name: James). I've been working on my set for a while now, and I'll try to adjust for time once the line-up is confirmed.
Bump, new update.
Bump, we got our time confirmation!
sign me up.... name... dboy thank you

Oh good, now the problem is having too long a set than too short.
...how many minutes should we be aiming for?
I'm wondering about the time also. Instead of adding an extra person, why not allow extra time? I mean, within reason.

Totally agree. How much time do we get anyway?
oops
Bump, I updated the info. I answer all you guys asking about time.
I wonder, if people go over the time limit, do you have a gong of a guy dressed in black who plays a trumpet like on Sabado Gigante?
Replied to the email, but stating here again just in case; I'm in.
Oh snap, did I posted that for all to see?
I replied to the email as well
Everybody is confirmed. so no worries people.

We tried getting him, but we're going with a guy that plays a tuba instead.
...plus I'm the only one aloud to wear a mask.
Great performance guys. As always, the comedians deliver. I was so stoked when saw that the seats were full even toward the end of the show. If there were a way to get a bigger room, we would definitely deserve it.
Everything went great but I got some not so good news involving the recording of it(which I hope doesn't lead to you guys skinning me alive).
My camera was having problems. pretty much everybody who performed before Soap didn't get recorded(soap and people after him have their sets recorded and intact).
I do remember seeing like two of the audience members recording, and I think Gaspar had his camera going in the back.
So if anybody can help us out, please do so. We would really appreciate it:]
I really enjoyed the Comedy Club, this was my first year attending and it was hilarious. I was skeptical prior to attending but every single comedian made me laugh authentically hard. Not just that, "heh, that was funny" kind of chuckle but really laugh. To every participant and the staff that ran it, thank you. Good times, gentlemen.
To let you guys know, I am still gonna upload the little bit of footage that was captured, but give me a week. I'm editing like three videos at once for the site I write for.
I'm still hoping some good citizen recorded the first half of the show. :]

That's because we've had years to sharpen our material. With every year, the comedians(myself included have gotten better)
Thank you.
I had a blast performing, (I'm James, the guy from Canada) hoping it comes back next year. It was my first time doing stand-up ever so I'm just happy I got laughs. Woulda hung around to chat with teh fellow comedians a bit more, but I had to jet with some friends.
Here are the videos for the performances(at least half of them due to my crappy camera).

I believe Johan and Gaspar recorded their own footage. And Registered Trademark also had his own footage. So we're just missing me, PassLion ,and Fazio. Still waiting for an upstanding citizen who might have caught most of that footage. ^_^;
3 views, I'm famous!
Thanks for getting this up Glitch, now to work on the stuff for next year.
