What do you think about my first Stand Up Comedy Open Mic in Singapore?
Here is the second one. Have Fun!
In Vegas and most comedy clubs that are NOT filming for TV, the lights are up more. If you have a diva singing, you want it dark so the audience is silent and focuses on the diva. For comedy, they turn the house lights up. Why? So people can see faces. It’s hard to laugh if you can’t see other people’s faces. The laugh gets ‘stuck’ at the lips.
If the lights are dim at a comedy club, it’s to make people drinking feel more relaxed and drink more. NOT for the benefit of the comic.
When the shoot a TV show like The Tonight Show and Leno or Connan are doing their stand-up, the lights are full on. When someone is singing, the lighting drops and is more ‘dramatic.
Not to mention, small hard lights are unflattering on most people, since they show more texure of the skin.
