Sudbury comedian Cole Leonard said he’d like to increase the profile of the local standup scene
If you’ve ever wanted to try standup comedy, the organizer of a new open mic comedy series encourages you to take part.
Leonard said he’s been into comedy for about a decade himself. He’s always been a funny guy, but suffered from stage fright. Leonard said there’s comedy open mic nights at other Sudbury venues, but with the comedy scene locally being pretty small, he feels there’s room for another. “I'm hoping that people who are not involved already in the scene will see this as an opportunity to become involved … I think there's a lot of funny people here and people with good sense of humor.”He suggests that first-timers take in a show first, and then come back for the next one with prepared material.
