# Guest spots and auditions: your roadmap

Start the playbook → Your proof

The short answer

A guest spot, a showcase or an audition night puts you in front of the people who book a club’s shows. Build a short set you can repeat, tape it the way each room asks, go in through that room’s own route, and keep the proof of each spot you deliver.

- **18** steps, each with its “done when”
- **3** buyers, in their own words
- **11** places to send it
- **4** notes ready to send

By D.O.C. Editorial · [The Career Atlas](https://disciplesofcomedy.com/stand-up-comedy-career-atlas.html)

## This roadmap, in five parts

Your roadmap

## From here to host and emcee work

Where you are, the tests for the next stop, and the steps between, in the order most comics take them. The steps are the Career Field Manual's; mark each one as you go, and the day goes in your passport.

You’re here if…

### Guest or showcase comic: getting seen

- You have a five you can repeat, tested in several rooms, and you finish on the light.
- You’ve done enough open mics to know your strongest opener and your strongest closer.
- You have a tape, or can get one, of a whole short set with the room’s laughs audible.
- The next thing you want is a spot on a club’s showcase or audition night, in front of the people who book it.

You’re ready to move on when…

### …to [host and emcee work](https://disciplesofcomedy.com/career-atlas-comedy-host-work.html)

These are the tests the next stop’s buyers set in their own published rules. Tick each one when it’s true for you.

You can do a clean set of 10 to 15 minutes: BARK Entertainment asks its paid MCs for a clean 10–15 minute set, no worse than PG-13. [BARK Entertainment ↗](https://www.barkentertainment.com/paid-mc) You can tape 15 minutes that hold a room, in one full, unedited take: the Loony Bin in Tulsa asks for a 15-minute set for MC consideration. [The Loony Bin, Tulsa ↗](https://tulsa.loonybincomedy.com/FreeForm/93aaa712-52ff-47a3-9da5-36acbe85def2/bca30415-8e4e-4ec5-817d-52222ac57427/Comedian_Booking_Info) You’re comfortable working the crowd, keeping the pace and setting the tone. Durango Comedy’s notes say hosting is not the same as doing a set. [Durango Comedy ↗](https://form.jotform.com/252975450600052) A booker would call you easy to work with: BARK looks for MCs who are polite to staff, sober on stage and eager to learn the MC announcements. [BARK Entertainment ↗](https://www.barkentertainment.com/paid-mc) A producer or booker who gave you a spot has asked you back.

### The playbook

18 steps in 4 parts, from the Career Field Manual. Each has its “done when”, a D.O.C. tool for it, and your status, note and target date; star up to twelve for your 90-day plan.

Each week

## Your weekly rhythm here

Habits, not a timetable: the atlas has no stopwatch. Keep these going, and the proof for this stop builds up week by week.

- **Get up and log it** Take the sets you can get, and log each one: the room, the minutes and what landed.
- **Tighten the five** Cut one weak line from your best five, and try the tighter version on your next set.
- **Send one, the room’s way** Send one submission exactly as a room’s own page asks, with dates you can really do.
- **Sign up again** Where a club books from a weekly sign-up, sign up for each week you’re free to perform.
- **Watch a showcase** Watch a full showcase or audition night, and note what the comics who held the room did first.
- **Thank the room** Say hello to the host and the staff, thank them on the way out, and leave on time.

The money here

### Know what the spot is

A guest spot, a showcase or an audition is stage time, and none of the places on this page publishes pay for one. Before you say yes, know what the night asks of you and what getting there costs you.

**Ask before you go**

- Whether the spot is paid, and if it is, what and when
- Your set length, and who gives the light
- When to arrive, and who to check in with
- Whether you’re asked to bring guests or buy a ticket
- The recording rule: whether you may film, and who may use the footage
- What the trip costs you: travel, parking and the night out

Questions to ask before you say yes · [Road Maps: the Math of a Gig, with your own numbers](https://disciplesofcomedy.com/comedy-road-maps.html#math-of-a-gig) · [Get Paid, Get Back: the deal in writing](https://disciplesofcomedy.com/get-paid.html#deal) · [The IRS on gig work ↗](https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/manage-taxes-for-your-gig-work)

**By D.O.C. Editorial.** This is one stop of [the Stand-Up Career Atlas](https://disciplesofcomedy.com/stand-up-comedy-career-atlas.html): club circuit, stop 1 of 5.
