I see you too have stuck around after the end of an open mic night. The comedy scene is chock-o-block full of people who have experienced this, regardless of whether or not they are good comics. I've never seen anybody else talk about this before, but I get my friends from, among other places, the people who just bombed a set. I feel wrong even saying this online, it's way too personal and secret, those people are not entertainment. But if you are the sort who makes friends with misfits, go to pretty much any clown show. "Running away to join the circus" is still a very real phenomenon.
Most comedy clubs have an apartment or a guest house for the acts. It's actually a great scene most times, minus the bickering over who gets to be the headliner which means who gets the best bed. But the people who get left out of that have a scene too, and that's who I'm talking about.
