On Tuesday evenings, Jacob Roper hosts Kentucky Fried Comedy’s open mic at 7 p.m., followed by top SoCal Roast Battle competitor Los Digits’ popular show “No Llores,” a head-to-head competition focused on developing joke-writing skills and confidence.

Coincidentally, Cooper also had met Berger separately at an open mic at the Cahuenga General Store.

Of course, Stephen Miller is about as funny as a hack comic on open mic night.

At a recent open mic, with a close group of comedian friends, she tried out a bit of new material: “My six-year-old nephew fell down the stairs. Now he’s afraid to go down stairs … if I’m standing behind him.”

Adine Porino found this freedom close to home when a flyer advertising an open mic in her apartment complex, Park La Brea, stopped her in her tracks: “Stand Up Comedy Open Mic Night Every Sunday 6:30 p.m.”
