“Bringer” show
New York City comedy clubs have developed "bringer" shows. A comedian must "bring" two or more paying guests. The more paying guest, the longer time on stage.
This often results in a lot of bad comedy. Hearing bad jokes about someone's parents with those parents in the audience creates awkward situations. Professional comedians hate "bringer" shows.
