A clean set for 4 or 5 audience members

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nofFD3jh4GY

0m49s Add in “so” before “I signed up”

4m25s Sell the “ugh mom” better

4m59s Pause after “and” before the “to see my mother cry”

5m50s I should look in one direction for my entire response to the guy

6m55s “BS” isn’t nearly as funny as “bullshit” because the T is a hard consonant, but it was a clean show

Part 2

0m14s Be overly happy for the whole neglect bit

0m43s Pause for an extra half second before doing the watch check

Overall: Not great but not horrible. I was able to do 12 clean minutes and got some laughs from the tiny audience.

0m48s Do an online dating joke if I’m going to ask them about that

2m17s Pause another half second before “maybe”

5m26s Deliver the line more surprised instead of angry

6m34s I might want to make that part of the joke

6m48s Work with that comment more. Don’t be afraid to jump out of material to mess around.

7m40s Doing the ruin your credit history line before the “cool nerd” bit doesn’t really make sense

8m22s Pick one person to be republican even if everyone laughs

9m12s Don’t stumble on the punch line

Part 2

0m07s Instead of “you’re all…” try “you guys are”… it’s less accusatory

0m44s Don’t point at my head for “neuro”

1m25s Throw in the “twenty dollars” callback

2m14s If I do these two jokes back to back, I should say, “the first time I had sex with this office girl, she was like…”

Overall: Solid set and solid laughs throughout but I should’ve played with the crowd more especially because they were giving me some funny nuggets that I really could’ve run with.

The 8pm show, about 15-20 audience members

4m05s When the woman says “I don’t think so” I should’ve responded, “Give it two drinks”

6m45s Give a little bit more of a smile during this part

7m21s Good job playing off the crowd

7m41s Great callback, I gotta remember to always use it

Overall: Solid set, especially given the small audience size. The only bit that needs work is the second half of the Netflix joke, and it’s a delivery issue: I need to let the audience know I’m not serious.

1m35s Say “twice neglect” happier

2m43s Don’t pause after “bullshit”

3m20s Pause for half a beat after “education” and again after “love”

3m49s Say “glutes” instead of hamstrings

Overall: Working out new jokes and rewrites, there’s potential but they need work

1m41s Rephrase “you don’t wanna know what I’ll do”

2m07s Put the emphasis on the word “AND”

2m30s Weird pause around “ladies” that should be the start of the next sentence, not the end of the sentence

4m40s Pause after “I’m not a sociology expert”

5m19s Don’t acknowledge it’s messed up

5m50s Change this punch line, there’s a lot of potential for this joke

6m22s Maybe I should say “open source for open relationships”

Overall: Working out new stuff at a mic. The “we’re not friends” joke has potential
