I am still pretty new to the open mic scene and I would like to know which places other performers can recommend, I know they can be a bit hit and miss in regards to having a "real" audience (as opposed to just other comedians) as you may go one week and its packed and the next no one turns up.
Is there any places that more often than not have a receptive audience and good atmosphere?
I will start by saying my favourite gig so far was at the Electric mouse, Big Ben it had a great atmosphere, a nice audience and was well run and organised, but I have only performed here once so I cannot say whether or not it is so good each week.
