Open Mic Comedy Austin - "The Profile" - WEDNESDAYS

Open Mic Comedy - Austin, TX:  Roughcut Comedy is launching a new open mic in on Wednesday Night's in Austin, Texas.

Hosted by me (Thom Singer).  

What?  Yes, I agreed to be the EmCee of the new weekly event.  I like comedy, and this adventure into stand up has had a positive impact on my work and life. 


  • Each comic have a five minute set (why 5 minutes? Because I like longer sets, three minutes just goes too fast).  


  • Capped at 20 comics (why capped? Because I am old and want to be in bed by midnight).  
  • Every week we will feature a "Profiled Comic" who gets a ten minute set (why? because I want to make it more than just an open mic, but give it a "show" feel).  
  • List at 8:00.  Show at 8:30.  The list will be reordered.  
  • Location - Stereotype. (510 Rio Grande St.  West 6th St Area).


Open Mic Comedy Austin

I began doing comedy a year ago. I am a long way from being "really good", but I have had fun and learned a lot. Plus, the local comedy scene has some amazing people doing comedy.  I want to support them by trying to build a show that is more than a few comics in the audience. 

Thus, I am seeking people to make their Wednesday Night Austin fun time out to include ""the Profile" open mic.  

We are launching the show on July 10, 2019.  I figure it will take 4-6 weeks to get the comedians and the audience to find the show.  But my goal is to make this a little different and a lot of fun for everyone. 

Open mic comedy - Austin has a new face..... "The Profile".  Check it out.

Leadership Keynote Speakers


Having presented nearly 1000 times at live events (and hosted over 470 episodes of my entrepreneur podcast, Cool Things Entrepreneurs Do), I am fascinated by what makes an audience lean into a speech.

Check out my thoughts on a post about Leadership Keynote Speakers on my website.
