Honestly, this app is meant to be a labor of love.

I found the Comedy Bureau Website late 2019 and found it an immensely useful resource to leaping into the vibrant comedy scene in Los Angeles. However, I was shocked this rich resource was so limited in its features. Many comedy venues rely on either analog pen-and-paper tools or third-party web solutions to handle open-mic sign ups. With the Comedy Buereau already established as a rich data resource, my hopes is that upgrading the resource with functionalities to handle open-mic sign ups could spark unprecedented shifts in the way the comedy scene engages with its performers.

• Trello Board
• Heroku Link

React, Express, Node.js, MongoDB Atlas, Mongoose

• The open mic comedy relies on a disjointed set of services for both promotions and operations
• A rich resource already that already exists, The Comedy Bureau, is severely underutilized in its potential

• A single-source app that documents all open mic events and handles sign-ups puts more power back into the people who make comedy their living
• Standardaizing a web tech solution that doesn't yet exist in this niche market will offer unseen opportunities for growth and user engagement

• Users will be able to see the list of venues offering open mic events (to add later, API exists, have not incorporated)
• Users will be able to see the details of those open mic events and slot themselves in.
• Admin users will be able to manage events on their end (feature not yet implemented)

• Fully adapting the original website, which is currently hosted on Wordpress, to run as a full-stack web and mobile application
