Most amateur comedy is the worst.
Open mics, bringer shows, whatever. They're bad. It's also how comics become GOOD - having to do shows like that. If you can come out of that and develop an act, you're going to be okay.
Now with a lot of that said - many shows that target a certain demographic of comics (IE black night, Latino night, women, gay, whatever) aren't great either. Rather than producing a show with great comics, they're targeting comics based on race/sex/orientation and not content.
