Going up at like 1am at a music and comedy mic

4m38s Finish the joke, or cut the line

5m21s If I can figure out a way to make the last 20 seconds funny, it’ll be really good and unique

6m43s He said “he treats the light like a 3 year old boy” and it took me way too long to get it

8m20s That’s a funny improvised line, might wanna keep it for other shows

10m27s Don’t bumble the line

10m44s More commitment on “that’s the American way!”

11m12s Weird buzzer motion, smooth that out

Overall: Decent for 1am and I might’ve improvised a line or two that are keepers.

Going towards the end of an 8pm show

1m05s He probably said “I’m not a republican”, I should just assume if someone responds, that’s they’re response

5m08s Say “oh” instead of “yeah”, makes it more conversational

6m35s Weird forced place for this line, consider closing on it instead

Overall: Solid set with consistent laughs although there was a slightly awkward interaction towards the start.

Going towards the end of a 7pm show

0m14s Go off on the riff more or don’t acknowledge it

5m01s The lines after the threesome championship aren’t as strong as the rest of the act

Overall: Really strong set, but I need to figure out why the second half of the contract joke isn’t hitting as hard as everything else

The 8pm show

0m55s Decent job pausing and acknowledging, could’ve had a stronger interaction though

4m08s Pause at the top of the circle

4m28s Great job milking it, that’s how I should do it every time

6m05s Emphasize “lifetime”

7m13s That’s funny and wrong

7m42s Good job working the phone ring in

9m00s Adjust before the bit mic stand so I don’t have to crouch THAT low

Overall: Great set, I was in the moment and material hit. Checks got dropped 6-7 minutes in, but I was able to keep most of the crowd’s attention anyway.

A 4pm show

httpv://youtu.be/-2GQDKpl_3g

3m37s Pause at the top of the circle

3m53s I could’ve milked the face for even longer

Overall: Strong set, although a couple of tags missed here and there. And I should come up with a stock response for when I mistake siblings for dating.
