Addressing strangers can be even more awkward than I originally thought

Posted on October 16, 2012 by Matt Aromando

I’m going to try to cover a lot of ground with this post. I’m going to try to drop some truth and acknowledge how I am ignorant to certain ideas. I was recently at an open mic that was running … Continue reading →

Standing up isn’t easy

Posted on September 12, 2012 by Matt Aromando

Stand-up comedy isn’t an easy thing to get into. I mean, not if someone wants to make anything out of it. If someone wants to be a stand-up comedian, they spend years practicing and getting on stage as much as … Continue reading →

The Sunshine Open Mic Podcast

Posted on May 22, 2012 by Matt Aromando

I’m on two podcasts in two weeks? That’s a new record, with the old record being one (unless you count the short-lived, Cookies and Cakes, which I don’t). The other day I recorded The Sunshine Open Mic Podcast with fellow blogger … Continue reading →

NYC Trip: Day 2 & 3

Posted on September 21, 2011 by Matt Aromando

Monday was my first day of improv classes and they went much better than expected. The whole class was really into it, excited, and funny. I’m not sure why I expected less, it was people taking a class that no … Continue reading →

NYC Trip: Day 1

Posted on September 19, 2011 by Matt Aromando

Today was my first day in the big city. Most of today was spent getting here, but I arrived at my friend Jeanine’s apartment (where I’m staying for most of the week) around 5:30 and unpacked. The only open mic … Continue reading →

Open Mic at Pearl New York Lounge

Posted on May 9, 2011 by Matt Aromando

This past Saturday I was in New York City (with fellow blogger Laura Miner, at whose blog you can read about the ridiculous lunch we had). While I was there I performed for my first time in New York at … Continue reading →

First Time at Grandma’s Basement

Posted on March 4, 2011 by Matt Aromando

I’ve been to many of the venues for open mics in (and around) Boston, but I feel like every time I do a show I hear of at least one place I haven’t been yet. About a month ago I … Continue reading →
