Doing the check spot on a 10pm show

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhOPUgKK0t8

0m35s I should be more suave on the “hi”

0m58s Add in the “she’s like, that could be kinda fun”

2m05s Do a “clap it up for your wait staff” here since most people are focused on the check

3m54s Address the “ayyy yo”

5m10s Good job acknowledging the situation and bringing them back a little

7m05s Good improvised response

Part 2

0m20s Great job on this whole interaction

0m42s I wish I heard the guy who said “that’s her sister” that would’ve been even funnier

1m22s Well played

Overall: I ate it from minute 2 to minute 6 while people were focused on the bill then I slowly got it back and had some great crowd interactions based off of my jokes and even got some applause breaks. And I had a fun with their responses.

The 8pm show

0m25s Should’ve played off him saying “fella” that’s funny

1m08s This was the first time I tried this joke with a real crowd and it actually hit well

2m04s Good improvised line

3m59s Good job waiting for the laugh, it took them an extra second

5m36s Change it from “beatings tripled” to “neglect tripled”

6m59s Add in a “bring it”

7m20s The key is to pause for half a beat after “about”

Part 2

0m24s Use the word “suspicious” as well as “weird” in there

1m03s Commit to the “pow pow pow” more

Overall: Real solid set, almost all of the punch lines on the new jokes worked

0m32s Add “this would make for a great opium den”

3m04s Cut out this part of the joke and end it on “modern day Russia”

4m09s Add “how do” before “they know so young”

4m48s Playing off of what a comic said before

Overall: Weak. I need to try to bring the energy up when it’s low and not go lower energy than I already am.

Opening for a headliner at a college, about 60 in the audience

1m43s Do a little more crowd work there, or say another off the cuff line

2m18s Say the “maybe” angrier

3m48s Interesting that this laugh is bigger than “I remember being on the plane”

4m25s Think for an extra second before saying anything

7m11s Add a “no no no” before “I wasn’t gonna buy anything”

9m01s Could’ve done that a little earlier in the set

Part 2

1m07s I need a bombing save line there and I knew not to do the second half of the Netflix joke but then I got greedy

Overall: Very solid set especially considering I went up first without an MC. The second half of the Netflix joke and the voting joke both missed but the other 12 minutes hit real well. I need to work on those two jokes.

0m43s Maybe don’t say “stupid things” just focus on hating to wait in lines

1m22s Leave it as a one liner

1m48s Act more surprised to see him

1m59s Cut the MC Hammer stuff

2m51s Leave the joke after “modern day Russia”

3m45s Say the setup much clearer

Overall: Working out newer jokes, the yoga joke needs a lot more work while the others are getting closer
