<p><strong>0m52s </strong>More emphasis on “someone”</p>
<p><strong>1m10s</strong> Get better posture, neck is too far forward</p>
<p><strong>1m25s</strong> I can add “I didn’t even know the internet had other websites”</p>
<p><strong>3m59s</strong> Say “it’s called the contract year” before “imagine how good marriages would be in a contract year.”</p>
<p><strong>4m48s</strong> Add “accidently” before started</p>
<p><strong>5m34s</strong> Change “twelve” to “ten” for less syllables</p>
<p><strong>Overall: Decent for checks</strong></p>

<p><strong>0m14s </strong>Might not need to acknowledge this</p>
<p><strong>0m51s </strong>More emphasis on “someone”</p>
<p><strong>4m49s </strong>Good to pick one or two specific people for the batteries line</p>
<p><strong>6m01s </strong>Good improvised response and good idea to ask about how long someone’s been married to go back into the bit</p>
<p><strong>7m13s </strong>Say someone instead of something</p>
<p><strong>7m51s </strong>I forgot a couple of lines about “if you’re lucky, life, you have a couple good orgasms then you die… Have I depressed everyone yet?” but it still sorta made sense</p>
<p><strong>9m25s </strong>Harsher on “maybe”</p>
<p><strong>14m03s </strong>Hit the UofP harder, like “I guess you went to…”</p>
<p><strong>15m10s </strong>Smile on “basement”</p>
<p><strong>15m55s </strong>Spin the media should be after bribe the jury</p>
<p><strong>18m10s </strong>Weird fun interaction</p>
<p><strong>18m28s </strong>Fun Q&amp;A I guess</p>
<p><strong>19m04s </strong>Compromise should go before flexible</p>
<p><strong>19m27s </strong>Saying “alright” is a funny way to go into safe word</p>
<p><strong>20m31s</strong> Try to have my eyes open wider when doing the grandpa character to differentiate it from the mom</p>
<p><strong>21m17s</strong> Hold the smile after each line until the laughs die down, otherwise I might be stopping the laughs cause they’re waiting for the next line</p>
<p><strong>21m58s </strong>I can cut the candle part</p>
<p><strong>22m46s</strong> Hold for an extra half second</p>
<p><strong>Overall: Great long set. I was relaxed and had fun and the material flowed.</strong></p>

<p><strong>3m57s</strong> State that it’s called a contract year</p>
<p><strong>5m03s</strong> I accidentally did this bit instead of the cell phones like marriages bit, but it actually helps break up the anti-marriage material</p>
<p><strong>6m04s</strong> Have the mic in the stand before doing the one liner</p>
<p><strong>Overall: Solid short set, although you can’t tell from this audio version</strong></p>

<p><strong>0m27s </strong>That’s the worst this joke has done as an opener in a while</p>
<p><strong>5m31s </strong>Do a slower and more purposeful circle. Better if it’s actually circular and not elliptical too.</p>
<p><strong>5m59s </strong>Seem more upset</p>
<p><strong>7m34s </strong>Slow down the setup even more</p>
<p><strong>8m08s</strong> Try reversing the garbage and injury parts</p>
<p><strong>10m33s</strong> Say “he’s singing the birthday song” so it’s clearer</p>
<p><strong>Overall: Mediocre set but the new part about contract years went well.</strong></p>

<p><strong>0m01s </strong>The annoying sound in the background is the heater</p>
<p><strong>4m14s </strong>Pick one specific person</p>
<p><strong>7m54s </strong>Say this setup slower so everyone follows</p>
<p><strong>8m05s </strong>Nice when a new line gets an applause break</p>
<p><strong>8m18s </strong>Change “hurt” to “injured”</p>
<p><strong>8m29s</strong> Cut or rework this last line</p>
<p><strong>Overall: Decent for a small crowd and a loud heater. Nice that the new part about marriages did well.</strong></p>
