Headlining a bar show in Staten Island for 12-15 people

2m20s Kill the monocle joke
4m23s Good reaction to the interruption, and good job continuing the joke, although I could’ve gone into my “hitting on the audience” material…
4m37s That echo is killing me
5m40s It’s not the strongest punch line, kill it, or deliver it very differently
8m29s Nice improvised one liner
9m29s More emphasis on “know it isn’t”

5m43s That one liner didn’t work at all, but I still enjoyed it
6m44s I can move my hand like rubbing my stomach to make myself look fatter while delivering this
8m18s This line can sound more conversational
8m50s After “if anyone needs a fake diagnosis” I should look at a female audience member and say, “We should play doctor”
9m42s Change “Planned Parenthood” to “abortion clinic” to make it more general

3m24s Hit the punch line of “can’t play tennis drunk” harder
4m41s Nice long pause before this line and great delivery
6m09s Instead of “when” say “while”
6m45s They may have pointed at each other, but I misinterpreted to make it funnier
7m27s Not sure I need this joke, it didn’t help that it got interrupted on the setup
8m43s Funny that I didn’t acknowledge the mess up at all

1m01s It should be “pervert” not “peed”
1m34s That’s a great line and a really good way of getting out of stuff when I cross the line
1m55s The guy had a Phillies shirt on
3m02s This was a charity show
3m30s First time I checked my set list, that’s 32 minutes without looking at notes, I’m happy
4m08s I need to develop the organic baby joke, it always gets a good response
5m28s Banter with the audience while looking at my list
Overall: I did 35 minutes and went 32 minutes without looking at my notes. Some jokes got bigger laughs than others, but this set was about being able to do thirty minutes in a row, remembering everything (I was only scheduled to do 30 minutes so I checked notes after 32 minutes, that’s a good lesson, prepare ten extra minutes of jokes) and having nobody walk out during my set (which is really easy when it’s at a bar show).
