A music and comedy mic

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IAvlzht3EY

0m39s Try “now I understand how to apply that expression”

1m37s Say wood chipper at the start of the question

2m20s Good improvising / calling out the situation

3m40s Hard in this room, but be mindful of where the lighting is best

5m57s I can add “hold your applause”

7m45s Nice that the uncomfortable line works again

10m25s Decent double reaction, might be a smoother way to do it

Overall: Ok for a mic. Some stuff did better than others but there were some laughs most of the time.

Going up 2.5+ hours into a show with about 10 audience members left

1m45s Decent improvised save

2m45s “Hula hoop of despair” is good

4m56s At least the save line works

5m17s My air quotes look weird

Overall: Very weak set, but at least couple of new lines got a decent response.

0m28s Try “that finally explains how to make sen of the expression”

2m13s Say “too fast for me”

3m19s Say “here’s a newsflash” with more sarcasm

4m44s Say “upgrade” instead of “new one” and find a less mean way to make this point

6m16s Get the line smoother

Overall: Okay for a mic
