Where?   
Memphis on Main

55 E. Main St.

Champaign, IL 61820

217-398-1097

Who can perform?
Anyone with the nerve to  get up on stage.   Original material only!  We don’t care how good you do Dane Cook’s or Larry the Cable Guy’s material.

Can I do “Blue” material?
Within reason! Be funny if you’re blue. “Crude” alone won’t get you much stage time.  Ethnic jokes must be delivered tastefully.  “No Michael Richards rants!

Can I do “Props”?
Absolutely, but you have to clean up and get off the stage quickly after  performing.

How much time will I get?
This, of course, depends on how many comics we have, the audience response to your stuff, and how often you perform at  Memphis on Main.  Initially, though, you will get 3-7 minutes which may grow from there.

How do I sign up? 
 Two ways!
1) Simply sign up one hour before the show on show nights  (Remember, space is limited, and it's first-come, first served.)
2) Reserve your  spot via the PayPal link below.  Reserved spots take precedence over walk-ins, and there is a limited number of reserve spots per night.

How do the website-reserved spots work?
Log into PayPal via the link below pay $20 (refundable). A live human being (your humble Webmistress) will receive the notification the next time she logs into her email and will send a friendly response acknowledging your payment and confirming your date. This guarantees a spot in our show.  You must sign up at least  three days before you plan to perform.  Yes, you can sign up for multiple nights, but you must pay $20 for each night you reserve.

Why am I paying $20?  
The $20 is designed to help out-of-town comedians reserve a spot without driving a long distance. Some clubs require you show up weeks in advance just to sign-up for future shows. We want to make it easier to reserve a spot, in order to encourage comics traveling longer distances to show up. It also guarantees a spot on a night that fits the comedian’s schedule. As long as you show up and perform on the night you reserved a spot,  you will be refunded the $20.  You must bring your PayPal receipt with you, which will be verified through our website the night of your performance. Your spot will be held until that night’s show begins, after which, your time slot will be reassigned. If you fail to show up for your scheduled performance the $20 will be forfeited to the bar.  

I have other questions...
Please e-mail Rick Omundson at  rickomundson@yahoo.com  
Please place “Comedy night” in the subject line.

Just click that little button to the left there, and it should take you to PayPal. Please note that your Webmistress is still relatively new to accepting PayPal payments, so I haven't yet figured out how to instruct PayPal to automatically indicate date. So please add a note while making your payment which night you plan to perform, along with any other information you think would be useful to us!
