How Long Is A Set?

Different clubs have different standards for lengths of material.

Some open mic nights have as little as 1 minute for a performance. 5 or 10 minutes is more common.

Generally a comedian should have 3 five minute sets prepared. These sets should be able to be performed back-to-back to make a 10 or 15 minute set.

20 or 30 minute sets are for more experienced stand-up comedians. Of course, if you have that experience, you probably aren't asking this question.
