I love Sal's. All those that go can catch me every Tuesday and Sunday with my puppets. (I do ventriloquism). I also love the Lantern, love NYCC, Gotham is awesome (Jessica Kirsen is an absolute class act. I got a mug outta the deal), and I love Teabag. I also love Don't Tell Mama. Hell, I love anywhere that puts a chubby babydoll like me and her puppets up op: :up: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

NYCC and Teabag sloppy seconds show does because you get a kickback off of all the tickets you sell. The pro shows at Sal's do. Right now I am a fool for my art and doing comedy for free. Where do you peform jester?

What's the name of the show that you produce? I have done both Parkside Lounge and the Lantern. Also, do you ever feature ventriloquists acts in the show you produce. Here is my website, www.aprilbrucker.com
Also, I hardly get paid for any work I do. Is the colition the place for me? Do I have to pay to join

The show I produce is the Mindreading and Improv show. you can email me for a slot at firecoins@aol.com.

The coalition is not quite for you and does really nothing for me immedately. Basically stand up comics who are getting paid by major stand up clubs wanted more money. It seems to be working for them.
