A 10pm bar show
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNkagbPuQg0
0m14s Don’t go into material until the room is a little quieter
3m15s Add in “even when they’re mumbled”
4m22s Good job calling out the situation in the room
5m48s Cut the “clap only if” part
Overall: Mediocre. I didn’t get the room under control before doing material and I paid for that by having people keep zoning in and out during my set. The take away is, don’t start doing material until the room is (nearly) silent.
The 8pm show

3m11s Nice improvised line, keep an eye out for someone in glasses for future sets
3m21s Learn to pause after “PhD program”
6m18s Slightly weird transition, give another half second pause
6m48s Don’t start licking my lips until the “hair lip” laugh ends, so I get an extra laugh on the lip licking
Overall: Great set but the New Years joke needs tightening up.
The 8pm show

4m32s That was improvised in the moment but should become part of the joke
4m53s Just hit “neuro couch” harder
6m14s Keep turning my head further like I did for the first answer
Part 2

1m19s I should bail out of this joke when it gets interrupted
1m46s That last tag doesn’t work, or needs a different delivery
Overall: The set was very up and down. There were some big laughs and some lulls. It needs to be more consistent.
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
Part 2

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.
