I don't know if you can call the open mic night at Stitches in Boston legendary, but it is where Louis C.K., Sarah Silverman, Adam Sandler and many other aspiring comics got on stage for the very first time in the 80s. Amateurs were given five minutes. Louis C.K. bombed and left the stage after a minute and half, but Sarah Silverman has said her set the first time up 'was pretty successful.'
The comedy club used to be located in the front room (currently the Paradise Lounge) of the Paradise Rock Club.
