Jobbing stand-ups may perform sets at two or more venues on the same day.

Open mic

Clubs and small venues often run open mic events; these slots may be booked in advance or left for walk-ins. Comedians use open mics to work on material or to show off their skills to get an opener slot. Open mics are often bringer shows but not all bringer shows are open mics. "Bringer shows" are shows that require amateur performers to bring a specified number of paying guests with them to receive stage time.
