When You Arrive

Walk through the main entrance and tell the Front Desk you are performing, and give them your name. Have your ID ready just in case they ask for it.

3PM ShowCheck-in2:00 – 2:30 PM
5:30PM ShowCheck-in4:30 – 5:00 PM
8PM ShowCheck-in6:30 – 7:00 PM
Check in with a Cool Beans Producer (Corey, Bryan, or Lennon) on the patio or in the VIP room. Other shows are going on, so please keep your voices down in the hallways.

Finding Your Show Order

Show orders will be posted in two spots:

  • The entrance to the Legendary Room, inside the VIP room
  • The "Crush It" Hallway as you head to the stage

Cool Beans Producers will help you stay on top of your show order. Wait on the patio, out of the walkways, until the showcase before you has let out before heading into the VIP room, so we avoid crowding.

The Green Room (VIP Room)

Once inside, please remain in the VIP room for the rest of the show unless you need the restroom or to step outside. Keep your voices down, we are in show mode.

Performers only. No one else is allowed in the VIP room, including:

  • Past Cool Beans students
  • Family & friends
  • Parents
They must buy a ticket and sit in the audience. You can join them after the show on the patio. Please clean up after yourself, keep your things organized, and stay professional and quiet while you wait.

When It's Your Turn

  • Wait in the VIP room until it is your turn
  • When you are on deck, sit in the chair next to the stage
  • When the comic before you finishes, take the stage immediately
  • Watch for the red light above the Tech Booth. It appears at 4 minutes, which means 1 minute left
  • Wrap up on time. Going over cuts into your fellow comics' stage time
  • After your set, head directly back to the VIP room quietly so the next comic can start

Leaving Early & Meeting Family

Keep walkways clear. Stay out of the servers' pathways in the hallways, it gets congested.

  • Watching from the audience and need to leave early? Tell Front of House or a CBC staff member so we can seat you out of the camera zone
  • If you must leave, leave in between sets. Wait for the performer to finish and go during the transition, for filming purposes
Meet friends and family before and after the show for pictures at the step and repeat, on the patio, or at the bar. Ask your family to meet you on the patio, at the bar, or in the lobby, never in the walkways.

Keep Spreading the Word

The more friends you bring, the warmer your audience will be. Keep inviting and keep posting, every seat filled makes the room electric. The Ice House expects us to fill the house, so let's pack it.

Most Importantly

Stay in the moment Be confident Have fun Give it your all

Everyone has put in amazing work on their sets, and we cannot wait for your friends and family to see you shine on the Legendary Stage.
