A music and comedy mic
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnsHYjmPK0w
2m48s Stopping my statement was funny cause he was a tough looking dude
3m41s This line is a keeper in the rewrite
4m21s Get rid of the whole castration topic
6m20s Pause slightly longer before “war profiteering”
Part 2

0m49s More bass in my voice for “Tuesday”
Overall: Decent but not great.
A writer’s mic
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0zCBWJE-SE
0m09s Don’t comment on the MC messing up the intro, especially if it’s a mic. (Unless it’s really funny.)
3m21s Don’t repeat “stay loyal” twice
4m28s Shake the hips a little more
4m55s Cut the genetic line
Overall: Weak response even for a mic. The dogs joke needs more rewriting.
Going last at a music and comedy mic
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_e30DwloR8
6m56s Don’t say “it’s not a real thing”
8m29s Change “know what I’m talking about” to “know what I mean” because I said the former ten seconds ago
Part 2
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRz5IdxUkgo
0m52s Change the lines after “my grandma”
1m49s Change “impatient” to “tired of waiting”
Overall: Good for six people being there. I got consistent (but light) laughs throughout.
An open mic
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nauqYa7bXl0
1m14s More emphasis on “that’s”
1m22s Stop treating “it’s really hard to raise a, dog” as a punchline
1m39s End sentence at “in a basement” no need for “for a couple of hours”
3m19s Better delivery on “that’s totally understandable”
3m31s It should be “comedian” not “cop”
4m57s End the joke on “grandma” or change the next twenty seconds
6m14s Try moving my whole arm and not bending at the elbow
Overall: Reworking some stuff, some of it needs work, a lot of it needs cutting.
MCing my Astoria show
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_M3TAcXWIc
1m02s Add “you can actually share your food and we can all get full”
3m14s Try “there was no point to that except for that I wanted to stretch my hand”
6m51s Good job reading the audience
8m18s Try “that’s a shady thing for HER to say”
8m31s Add in “no wonder she doesn’t want to admit to dating you”
Part 2
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xK85BRjMmwI
0m49s I could add in “you’re like, “I can’t laugh because I’m still too shocked that I’m not in a relationship, but I approve”
Overall: Decent hosting. My whole “inept psychic” crowd work bit really hit today. I should try to push that and do it for longer at a time when I’m hosting.
