anyway.
If you know of a dead or changed up mic, let me know. i will try to update it as soon as i can.
and for those of you spreading word of mouth about how i suck, you are darlings.
Love always,
Gigglechick...

comments: This mic is different because the comics give each other constructive feedback and work as a team to try to help each other become funnier! Comics are advised that you must stay for at least fifty minutes and pay attention to the other comics with the idea of trying to help each other. It is a fun, supportive, and productive atmosphere designed for established and newer comics who want to develop an original and hilarious act.
