5 Year Retrospective: The Escape From Open Mic (FREE DOWNLOAD)
February 21st, 2013
“The Escape from Open Mic,” a 100 disc short-run release, entered the world in February 2008, five years ago this month. It was equal parts comedy compilation and audio documentary, which followed the lives of ten aspiring comics at the very beginning of their careers. In retrospect, hearing this concept now, I wonder who would want to listen to a crop of brand new performers talk about a craft they’d yet to master or their mundane lives.
They wouldn’t have any perspective on what they’re talking about. They wouldn’t have found their voice. They wouldn’t have been hardened by the crowds or the industry. After realizing all of this, I’ve come to the conclusion that this is precisely the reason to listen to this album now.
I started recording this piece in 2007, six months into performing at open mics. Six months is nothing, but in 2007 I couldn’t imagine doing this through the year. This album was supposed to be something I could look upon fondly when I was old, something to help me remember all the talented people I’d met that year and the friendships I’d made. Now seeing where the comics on this disc have gone and how far Oklahoma City/Norman comedy has come as far as a scene, I feel really thankful to have documented this era and captured it’s innocence. Here’s a list of the people who made this album special and what they’ve been up to in the last five years. This is the Escape from Open Mic, for real.
