Ramirez states that one of these examples is local comic Ivan Batista, who specializes in Spanish language comedy. And now a lot of those comics, which is now like two years later, are actually traveling now.” We actually have comics that have done comedy for their first time and haven’t really ever done it before and have done it really well. “He heard about the open mic that happens here, and he went up there and was the first comic there and he killed it,” Ramirez said. The latter came in the form of a comedian who arrived in Laredo to work and heard about the event.


He said that in recent events, comedians from Corpus Christi, Carrizo Springs, San Antonio and even New Zealand have participated. Ramirez said that during the open mic events, people from all over the state, country and even out of the country have attended to be a part of the event or just to watch. It has really grown into a very special open mic, and our showcases are being recognized by other cities and other comedy groups from out of town as a place to be.” "So we opted for doing that, and we stood out and made sure the Mic Drop was a way that we could cover all things locally, which is like the art, the music and the comedy. “There was a lot of conversation at that time when we started the open mics about what we could do to it to make it more inclusive, bring in more comics and just grow the scene," Ramirez said. People can also participate if they just write about five minutes of jokes to present.
