I haven't tried it, but I've heard what it can be like.
Some tips: - Grow a thick skin
- Don't take things personally--if you bomb, it's not that they don't find you funny; it's that they don't find your material funny.
- Don't give up after your first night; it's something you work at, and something you develop, just like any other talent.
