Inside the Comedy Institute

"Tom Simes"

Ep 4

Tom Simes, owner and booker for the Stir Crazy Comedy Club in Glendale, AZ (Phoenix) gives us the truth about what it really takes to break a new club on the road.

Like a lot of road clubs, Tom is a former comic who decided to open his own club. But his motivations were surprisingly different than most.  And his creation is a near perfect comedy environment.

Here he discusses the way we communicate with clubs and the way clubs communicate with each other.

And how you can actually get booked on the road.

Some of what I thought was true. Some was eye-opening to say the least. He tells us,

·  The best recommendation you can get

·  The best ways to get seen by the club

·  What to include in an email to the booker

·  What NOT to do when communicating with a club

·  What bookers discuss with each other

And so much more.  Enjoy!
