An open mic with six comics in the room

1m05s I managed to do a minute that isn’t actual material that got steady laughs, I should try to always do that to start a set
3m59s It’s not one call back too many, just embrace the punch line more
4m54s Always nice when a new tag works
5m10s Cut the clapping part of the joke
6m38s The “sleep with myself” bit is a little forced in this situation
Overall: Good for an open mic. The New Years joke needs work.
Late night music and comedy mic

1m08s Good job waiting to get everyone on board before starting
5m45s It’s actually 5 applause breaks and 1 groan, but that was a decent approximation

0m35s Decent job going along with the audience member’s question/interruption
Overall: It took me a minute to get everyone to focus and they got distracted again towards the end but I had a solid seven minutes in between where I got six applause breaks. That’s respectable for a ten minute set.

1m49s It should be “only on Fox” not “only to Fox”
3m18s That’s a great punch line that acknowledges the crowds most common reaction
5m08s Good job “yes and-ing” his objection
7m22s Nice random side laugh
8m01s Change “like to be” to “are into”
Part 2

Overall: Solid job, especially since I went up 2.5 hours into the show. Interacting with the crowd and bending their responses to my liking helped this go well.
A bar show with 6-8 audience members

2m55s Pause after “security didn’t like that answer as much as you guys did”
5m02s No need to say “you fucks”
6m48s Say “I was happy about it” before “twice the toys and…”
7m05s Change “positive side” to “upside”
Overall: I remember this going a lot better in person than it sounds on the tape. There are consistent laughs but they’re not that loud.

3m01s The pause should be after “in”
3m23s Change “latchkey” to “neglect”
3m27s Say “the legos tripled” happier
3m59s Cut everything after “neuro divorce” until here
4m47s More emphasis on “If I REALLY like you”
Overall: Decent for a mic. Some parts need to be cut out.
