Going last on a 10pm show for 8-10 people

0m35s I need a joke before the alibi joke to have something that I’m explaining

1m33s Good job fixing a blunder without breaking character

3m48s It should be “prefer” instead of “like”

4m41s I should mimic the audience’s laugh more often

5m18s Always nice if I can get laughs without talking for this long

7m38s Figure out a shorter term for “life insurance policy” maybe “too bad I knew how much she was leaving me in her will”

12m39s It should be “perfect” not “right”

Overall: Really solid set. I’m working on making the character more playful instead of just straight up psychopathic.

Going up 2.5+ hours into a show

0m15s Always good to get laughs before I start talking

2m51s Tighten this sentence to “that psycho thing kinda turned me on”

4m20s If one save line that threatens the audience doesn’t work, a second one threatening the audience right after that won’t usually work

Overall: Another rough set. I started stronger than I ended, and the start wasn’t even that strong. I need to find the balance between insane and playful.

An open mic

1m38s This is the first time someone actually replied to that question, good to know I can improvise a response

4m02s It should be “I’ve got leftovers” instead of “there’s leftovers”

Overall: Standard weak mic response

Doing a check spot

3m04s This line doesn’t make sense after the choking line

4m27s First somewhat laugh, that should happen 4+ minutes earlier

6m02s The random flower line doesn’t make sense

Overall: I bombed even for a check spot. I feel the joke order hurt me.

The 8pm show

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvxRXisAfN8

0m14s Put on the glove slower

1m13s Give “that could be kinda fun” a girl voice

1m36s Sound slightly more playful

2m26s I forgot to do the whole “I remember her” part of the joke, and that part takes the character so over the line that it becomes obvious it’s a character

4m36s Pause for an extra half second after “if you lock your kid in the basement”

Overall: I bombed. The first couple of jokes didn’t hit and then I got the order of the rest of my jokes jumbled which didn’t help as this character needs to setup certain thing towards the start of the act.
