smart comedy,
open flame.

Stand-up held outdoors, around a real fire. We book the lineup carefully and cultivate the crowd with the same care.

so far.

The whole backyard from the back of the room: a full audience on folding chairs under strings of warm bulbs, watching a comic standing on the grass beneath the trees.

A comic in a beanie leaning out of his stance to point at someone off camera, the brick firepit burning in the foreground and empty chairs behind him.

A comic in a bright patterned shirt mid-punchline on the mic, framed by leaves and hanging bulbs, with the front row watching below him.

The front row seen across the brick firepit, a dozen people packed shoulder to shoulder and laughing at the same moment.

The full room from the side: the ring of chairs, the fire, and a comic on the mic under a canopy of string lights.

A comic mid-sentence with a hand raised, seen past a tall flame standing up out of the brick ring in the foreground.

Rows of the audience under the string lights, faces turned the same way and half of them mid-laugh.

A comic in a red cap on the mic, seen over the heads and shoulders of a packed audience, with lit trees and a speaker behind him.

A block of the audience leaning together on folding chairs, drinks in hand, all laughing at once under the bulbs.

An audience member turning back toward the camera, grinning, while the comic keeps working behind him and the fire burns between the chairs.

A comic with an arm thrown out mid-bit, the silhouetted heads of the front row and the low fire in the foreground.

A comic standing quietly on the mic in the dark, head down, the firepit burning at his feet and bare bulbs above him.
