Tonight's Lineup
Twenty-three acts took the stage, but four carry the bill. The meter is applause per name — and just like the comedy channel, the biggest act isn't the best-reviewed.
The Top of the Charts
The names that brought the house down, ranked by reactions. Emoji shown are the real crowd response.
Anatomy of a Band Name
Every name is a one-off — there's no formula. But the two-word punch is the house style, and a small lexicon keeps showing up: king, hot, horse, milk, death.
Name Length
// word count of every submission
The Lexicon
// recurring words (meta-chatter stripped)
The Crowd
A famously generous room — names land a reaction 1 in 6 tries, nearly triple the comedy channel's rate. But the pit isn't always kind: a handful got booed off.
How They Cheer
// reaction emoji, real counts
Booed Off Stage 👎
// names that drew a thumbs-down
The Residency
When the Pit Opens
Doors are busiest Friday, and the room runs late — times in UTC, with a heavy after-dark shift.
By Hour
