Open mikeOpen mic – This move request was previously rejected based on just two editors 'oppose' votes. 'Open mic' is the more accepted spelling in comedy, music, news, and more prevalent in Google searches. -- Wikipedical (talk) 23:13, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Stand-up comedy as a leisure activity

[edit]

I propose that this applies directly to stand-up comedy (and this page) and should be used as a guide in forming the ethnographic narrative of the leisure-activity practitioner (applies to both amateurs and experts).

Stebbins, Robert A. (2011). "The Semiotic Self and Serious Leisure". The American Sociologist. 42 (2/3): 238–248. JSTOR 41485707. Retrieved 3 June 2021. Personal Rewards
1. Personal enrichment (cherished experiences)
2. Self-actualization (developing skills, abilities, knowledge)
3. Self-expression (expressing skills, abilities, knowledge already developed)
4. Self-image (known to others as a particular kind of serious leisure participant)
5. Self-gratification (combination of superficial enjoyment and deep fulfillment)
6. Re-creation (regeneration) of oneself through serious leisure after a day's work
7. Financial return (from a serious leisure activity)
Social Rewards
8. Social attraction (associating with other serious leisure participants, with clients as a volunteer, participating in the social world of the activity)
9. Group accomplishment (group effort in accomplishing a serious leisure project; sense of helping, being needed, being altruistic)
10. Contribution to the maintenance and development of the group (including senses of helping, being needed, being altruistic in making the contribution)
