Month: March 2012

Going first on the 8pm show

httpv://youtu.be/jSdr_8U23Go

1m21s Don’t keep the improvised “brings everyone together” line but it made me laugh in the moment

2m15s Deliver “mom” more annoyed and with a pause after

2m50s Good job incorporating the phone going off

3m22s Pause at the top of the circle

4m50s Emphasize “lifetime”

5m56s Figure this out before starting the set so I don’t waste 30 seconds on repetitive crowd work and ruin flow

7m27s Work on the flinch motion

9m02s Do a save line, two straight jokes missed

9m23s Smile more with the dad character

10m12s Pause after dumpster

10m24s Rephrase to “comes home from the hospital”

Overall: Started out strong for the first 6-7 minutes, then really slowed down the last 3 minutes. Be more proactive with save lines and going back to crowd work.

The 9pm show

0m34s Pause for an extra quarter second before “bake”

1m32s Weird that “maybe” didn’t get a response

3m38s Be ready for delayed laughs on that

4m38s Hit these lines harder, don’t go up at all at the end

5m58s Might need to find something funnier than “dad’s nursing home”

7m17s Slower on “then”

7m19s It should be “the birthday song” not “the song”

7m50s The “hope is lost” was off key

9m15s Good job ending on a big laugh

Overall: Decent set but not a single bit had EVERY line hit.

Doing a check spot on the 10pm show

0m27s It was already loud so I decided to acknowledge checks up front

3m21s Always nice to hear an audience member saying “shhh” cause they wanna listen during checks

4m52s Hold the eye roll for later

Overall: Decent for checks.

The 8pm show

httpv://youtu.be/89fNnVr2kDY

2m04s I like the emphasis on “once”

6m34s Weirdest answer I’ve ever heard, good job rolling with it and still making the bit work

Overall: Great set. Huge laughs throughout and I improvised a couple of little things that worked.

3m22s Commit to doing the kissy face for a five count every time

4m42s Good job calling back to something the MC said

5m00s I like when the crowd gets where I’m going with that, but can’t figure out how to make it happen consistently

5m22s Horny should be last, not phone at the office

8m11s Good job acknowledging it

8m46s It should be “rich and successful” and not “middle class path to success”

Overall: Consistent but small laughs, although I gained momentum towards the end.
