An open mic

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

4m07s Try “O indeed” instead of “yeah”

6m04s Rephrase to “too bad her life insurance was so high”

Overall: The last two minutes went much better than the first five

A late night music and comedy mic

1m20s Try the metal rod line before the birthday line

4m22s Should’ve opened with that line

5m36s Try not to laugh during the whispering

8m36s Change the emphasis in that sentence

11m17s Add “nationwide” before “tour”

13m48s Change the ending of this joke

Overall: Decent laughs for most of the set but lost steam doing all new jokes at the end.

A bar show

4m12s Try “my shrink says I should tell people how I feel”

Overall: I got low but steady laughs throughout

Hosting the second half of an open mic

0m03s I decided to try out being brought up as a character name

2m12s Nice job being in the moment

2m24s When a joke gets interrupted, just bail on it

4m07s It should be “large” not “good”

Overall: Average open mic response.

Going last on a bar show

1m39s Say “inflation” in a bit more of a throwaway fashion

3m27s Adding “I felt bad” might help the surprise of the punch line

6m40s It’s nice when an improvised line from a previous night works as material the next night

8m23s The “you’d never date” line should be in my normal voice

10m42s The start of the sentence should be different from “if you don’t laugh” cause I said that earlier, maybe “if you keep staring at me”

Overall: Solid set, and the voice went in and out more or less smoothly.
