Performance Critique: January 9b

A show for 10-12 people

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9tM4WHPplI

0m11s The guy before me used an overhead projector so I opened with this joke

4m22s It should be “you gave me a look like” instead of “you were like”

5m01s Pause before “I brought the pliers”

7m22s Good adjustment

Part 2

3m45s Have a normal face for a half second longer before scrunching it up

Overall: I had light yet consistent laughs throughout the set.

Performance Critique: January 8b

A show at the back of a bar for 8 people while the Jets are making their game winning drive in the wild card round of the playoffs

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NamLeBE5-Ak

2m52s Address the Jets winning for an extra five seconds until the celebrating settles down a little more

3m56s I had fun doing that

5m58s It should be “I talk about this” not “we talk about this”

Overall: I didn’t do great but I had fun considering the situation was stacked against comedy.

Performance Critique: January 8a

MCing the 8PM show

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gew4vwQcAV8

1m39s I can add “that’s my only real psychic power, detecting bullshit”

3m21s Decent improv

5m27s Should’ve addressed this talking earlier

6m45s Good callback

Part 2 (doing time between comics)

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxJ_63gt41c

4m22s Don’t stutter the line

5m01s Decent response

Overall: I didn’t get huge laughs on my material but the comics all did well so I did my job as the host. I did get some good laughs on some of the improvised lines so I should work towards doing more improvising when hosting.

The 8pm show with a crowd of about 20

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd8sOqkvNlw

0m39s Don’t say “like” before “little girl”

1m03s Take a slight pause before saying “we’re not friends”

2m01s Smile a little more during these lines

4m23s This is the funniest line of the dog joke, rewrite this joke around this line

5m50s Try to rephrase to, “I just learned who not to kiss”

7m08s Cut the word “extra”

Overall: There were consistent (but not huge) laughs throughout, except during the dogs joke, which needs a rewrite.
