Performance Critique: December 11

This is back down in DC at All Stars, crowd of about fifteen people

0m11s I’ve left the MC’s intro in here because it’s “unique” and I responded to it to start my set

0m40s Haven’t heard I look like the Brady Bunch before, that’s pretty funny

1m10s Impressive that the intro took over a minute

1m22s Before I was brought up the MC was talking about Skull Vodka for a good five minutes

1m38s A woman had hair similar to mine

2m58s I didn’t even think that was a funny response

3m51s After “are you in an abusive relationship?” I should’ve gone with “I can rescue you”

6m35s Two great improvised lines in a row here, “You can molest me” and “I’ve never been molested… on stage”. I should remember to bring those back for other shows

7m25s Fix the order of the words in the premise

7m40s One too many hand gestures

7m58s This family stuff isn’t hitting as well as the previous

8m43s I was able to bring the crowd back

9m48s Best random audience story I’ve ever heard. I should have gone more into it.

Part 2

0m12s I should’ve pushed the CD’s thing, like “don’t talk to him about us anymore, we’re over”

1m24s Good improvisation and transition into a joke

2m18s I should’ve gone back to hitting on the girl and asking if she likes the rhythm method here

2m38s I forced this joke in here and shouldn’t have

3m17s I love how I went for the third part of the joke after I said I was right on the line

3m57s The licking of the lips is really making this joke work

4m13s This was where I would’ve wanted to get off stage, but I didn’t get the light yet so I kept going

4m56s The last punch line of neuroeconomics is new and worked well

5m15s This is where I couldn’t think of a next joke to do

6m10s I’m rather impressed with myself that I didn’t have material for over a minute and still seem comfortable

6m32s My transition was so random that an audience member yelled out “what?” I need to work on my transitions.

Overall: The first 14 minutes were pretty good. I was comfortable on stage, switching between talking to the crowd and doing material pretty  seamlessly. A few jokes didn’t hit but I was able to bring the crowd back without losing anyone. The last three minutes weren’t as strong mainly because I hadn’t planned on being on stage that long, although I was still able to get laughs and improvise. I need to practice my whole set more often so it takes me longer to run out of material.
