Stand-up comic forum?

January 28, 2009 3:27 PM

How can I find out if a stand-up comedian is currently performing a routine that's different from material on their two recorded albums?

I'd really like to go see Mitch Fatel, but not with a long drive in the car, a big cover and a two drink minimum if he just poots out the same material as his last two albums. Is there a good web forum for comics and stand-up where I might research this?

In the past I've rung up the venue and they have given me the number of one of the show assistants or PR's who have been able to help me out.

looks like you can contact his bookers, too.

or maybe try asking him on myspace? maybe just send a nice message asking if he'll be doing new material (leaving out the "poot" part?).

I did a quick youtube search and found a bunch of live performances. Are any of these recent enough to help?

A Special Thing sounds like the forum you're asking for.
