This was an open mic with 6 to 8 people in the audience.
0m53s I pointed to a specific couple when I said “whipped”. Not sure if that’s a good idea to do, but it seemed to get a laugh here.
1m55s I’m a fan of saying “I’ll pander to the crowd, I don’t give a shit.”
3m02s I thought I had five minutes, but got the light after three. At open mics, I’m not great with reacting when I don’t think I’m getting the amount of time I should be. It later turned out that this guy gives two minute warnings (for reasons unknown).
Overall: I enjoyed telling my pot joke. And I need to learn to not react when I get the light earlier (or later) than I’m expecting.

I liked the Myspace bit, it’s stronger than the Buddhist line.
Thanks Charlie. Lately I haven’t been writing as much new material as I have been trying to polish up and tighten my existing material.
I like the Buddhist line, but I think there’s a combination of the joke taking a while to get and my delivery not being top notch yet that was causing the joke to fail more often than not.
