<p><strong>3m05s </strong>Good to start laughing on “didn’t make it” makes it less harsh</p>
<p><strong>3m15s </strong>Great improvised bit</p>
<p><strong>3m57s</strong> Nice call back to improvised stuff</p>
<p><strong>5m26s</strong> Good job “reacting” to the one audible “hmm”</p>
<p><strong>7m48s</strong> Not a bad line to put in, “now that we’re all friends, let’s do some therapy”</p>
<p><strong>10m07s </strong>More emphasis on “real”</p>
<p><strong>10m56s</strong> Stepped on the laugh a little, but I was trying to finish before all the checks get dropped</p>
<p><strong>Overall: Great set. My material hit really strong and I improvised and played with the crowd. The birthday stuff at the end was a little too heavy/sad at times, I should play with way to make it funnier and less sad.</strong></p>

<p><strong>0m22s </strong>Nice going straight into crowd work</p>
<p><strong>3m58s </strong>I did four straight minutes before going into material, I feel that’s a new record for me</p>
<p><strong>4m44s </strong>Look up higher and don’t tilt head down while doing the confused face</p>
<p><strong>5m34s</strong> Could’ve made fun of the guys lack of answer after his friend gave a good answer instead</p>
<p><strong>6m20s</strong> Could’ve asked more info about the late people</p>
<p><strong>7m10s</strong> Could’ve made up some stuff about what he was texting</p>
<p><strong>10m19s</strong> Give it another half beat after “they’re not all drunks”</p>
<p><strong>11m44s</strong> Go into the need therapy in a funnier way, or keep asking her about the most messed up cases</p>
<p><strong>13m24s </strong>Don’t say “that one’s for me” 3 times in one set</p>
<p><strong>14m22s</strong> Try to rephrase “then I turns into, oh I wanna be independent, but together”</p>
<p>Doing time between comics</p>

<p><strong>0m20s</strong> Pause between each of her words as it’s supposed to be a little kid</p>
<p><strong>0m52s</strong> Sell the “oh it’s okay” stronger</p>
<p><strong>1m34s</strong> Say “I can’t get married either” first or something, it’s weird where I went into the joke</p>
<p><strong>3m24s</strong> Don’t stumble on the words, but at least I acknowledged it</p>
<p><strong>5m23s </strong>Hit “emergency” more sarcastically</p>
<p><strong>Overall: Great job with the crowd work up front and not forcing material. The response to material was up and down but I did a good job as host getting to know the audience, being friendly, high energy and interacting with them.</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>1m30s </strong>Good misinterpretation on her “excuse me”</p>
<p><strong>1m51s </strong>Milk the circle motion for longer if it’s getting laughs</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>5m45s </strong>Funny how they called me nerdy before I got to it</p>
<p><strong>7m07s</strong> Doing this joke without doing mom act outs first is weird</p>

<p><strong>Overall: Eh. I did my smarter material on purpose and it got laughs but not huge laughs.</strong></p>

<p><strong>2m59s </strong>Instead of “it’s gonna get sadder” could’ve gone “no, it’s okay because I was actually happy about it…”</p>
<p><strong>3m32s </strong>Make one of the voices masculine</p>
<p><strong>4m53s </strong>Don’t put hand over face</p>
<p><strong>6m52s </strong>Good that I’m trying to write on stage, even if it’s not funny</p>
<p><strong>8m05s </strong>Add “I’m like” first</p>
<p><strong>Overall: Mediocre set but I did a good job rolling with the punches and trying to write on stage.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Overall: Mediocre. The first two minutes went fine then I spent 4 minutes talking about why marriages are stupid. Maybe I shouldn’t start with that material two minutes into a set.</strong></p>
