Frequently asked questions

How long should an open mic set be?

Open mic sets are typically 3–5 minutes. Five minutes gives newer comedians enough time to deliver 3–4 jokes while keeping the show moving. Headliner spots are usually 15–45 minutes.

How do I signal the comedian?

Use the full-screen display facing the stage. The color change and sound alert when a set ends gives a clear signal. Many comedy clubs also use a light signal at the 1-minute warning.

Need more than a template timer?

TimedFlow gives event producers, speakers, and teams professional countdown displays with remote control, multi-screen sync, and backstage coordination.
