Mic Whore

About This Movie

So, 'Mic Whore' is a curious little gem from 2014 that explores the ups and downs of stand-up comedy addiction. It has this raw, almost chaotic vibe, as you follow the main character diving deeper into her obsession with getting on stage. The pacing feels like a rollercoaster—sometimes it lulls you into reflection, then suddenly thrusts you into this manic energy of open mics and awkward crowds. The performances really stand out; they capture the desperation and determination of someone chasing that next laugh. The themes of ambition and the toll it takes, both personally and socially, are pretty well woven in. It’s not your typical comedy-drama, which is what makes it distinctive, I think.

Interesting take on the comedy scene.Pacing shifts between reflective and frenetic.Strong character performances capture desperation.
