comedy set
Jokes on stage
A comedy set is a comedian's performance, typically lasting from a few minutes at an open mic to an hour or more for a headliner.
The term distinguishes one performer's material from another's on a shared bill: She did a tight fifteen-minute set.
A set usually consists of prepared bits arranged for flow and timing, though it may include improvisation.
