+1 I used to go to open mics weekly in undergrad (audience, not performing). And hey, it was BYOB in an un-air conditioned attic, for $5.

It was almost more fascinating watching the same person go up week after week, with slight tweaks to their act.

It convinced me that the "talent" for comedy is probably just "attention to detail."

And that the actions required to be successful in comedy were "practice", "perseverance", and ability to use constructive criticism.
