“Headlining” the 8pm show

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5a-usUKU2Yk

0m40s The microphone is having issues

1m39s That’s a funny from the crowd and I played with it well

4m08s Good job going into the crowd work here

4m44s Good job improvising a response

4m53s And a great improvised call back

9m15s Weird pause in that sentence

9m41s I said “three inch” twice by mistake

Part 2

1m36s On the bright I got this joke down to under 100 seconds, but there were only three solid laughs in that time, I need to make it funnier or shorter

2m39s I could’ve added, “let me know if you need another four and half inches”

5m09s Commit to the song more

Overall: I had a solid 18 minute set with some good improvised lines throughout.

The 6PM Show

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

2m36s I threw myself off and missed the “tell joke to drunks” part of the joke when I acknowledged the people

5m20s At least I’m going to crowd work after a bunch of jokes ate it in a row

5m59s Play with that more, if they have someone, I should ask them how they plan on killing themselves

Overall: I bombed. The first 45 seconds of crowd work went fine, then none of my material was hitting, and the additional crowd work missed too. The bright side is that I knew to go back to crowd work after the jokes weren’t working.

“Headlining” the 8pm show

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJ9jJClSt8Q

0m37s People were taking forever to pay their checks so I had to call it out

5m26s Put my hand on the back wall too

8m55s Good unplanned call back

Part 2

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL-bQMtzkdk

0m24s The waitress brought in a piece of cake with a candle because it was my birthday

1m09s I could’ve added “now that I’ve made everyone hate me by not feeding them, let’s do more jokes…”

2m11s Do a more obvious delivery on “so it’s worth it”

3m32s Say the “www” faster

Overall: Great set, and I was able to get the crowd back after the birthday song momentum killer

A 6:30 show with a light crowd

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WgicmI8kFw

0m09s Slow down a little between thank you and spotting the girls

3m15s Good acknowledgement

4m52s This doesn’t sound off the cuff enough

5m39s Rethink the neurocommute and neuroathlete tags

6m59s Make “republican” the last word of the sentence

Overall: Not great not horrible. I should’ve tried to do a little crowd work in there as it didn’t seem conversational enough.

Doing a 45 minute feature set for mostly musicians

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

1m45s I didn’t need to address the crossed arms there, cause I had just gotten a good laugh

3m44s Good job addressing the situation, I could’ve gotten a couple extra laughs on “If you guys could just keeping smiling and not laughing the whole time, it would mean the world to me” or something

4m26s Instead of “What? You guys have morality” make it a statement as “I learned you have a morality”

4m42s Milk the poses for longer

6m37s Pause for longer between the first and second position

8m36s Don’t do this joke so early on, as it’s one of my weaker jokes and I need to build more momentum first

Part 2

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

0m52s Don’t say “here we go” twice, find different words before “sand”

1m12s Get more laughs before this

1m30s Deliver this with more confidence

2m39s Do one more round of “pow pow”

2m56s Pause for laughs

5m15s Kill the draft room line

5m47s I don’t need “to drive”

7m57s It should be “impress her friends with” instead of “brag to her friends about”

8m13s I should address the person doing the “whooos” instead of laughing

9m01s It should be “great COMEDY class”

Part 3

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

0m25s I should’ve added, “Maybe I’ll try out those moves at the Greenwich festival”

0m42s Overly aggressive to the guy for no reason, I should get a laugh off of him instead of just getting mad

1m22s Only say “nobody believes me” until it gets a laugh, I should’ve done it once in this set

5m05s Sell the fist pump more, and address the “whooo”

5m19s Someone just walked in the room and I’m addressing it

6m26s More emphasis on “WHOLE”

6m55s Pause longer after “got your nose”

7m11s Ask more about how you meet at Yoga school

7m37s It should be “felt familiar” not “looked familiar”

8m55s Make a more natural dropping motion

Part 4

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzMr_4nVeNU

0m10s Pause longer for it to actually get uncomfortable if I’m gonna acknowledge that

1m29s Good job mentioning the slogan again after it went off track a little

6m48s Don’t point to myself when saying “for her”

7m23s I should say “YOU’RE my netflix plan” instead of “it’s”

Part 5

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

2m59s Say “inefficient” more clearly

9m10s Sell the heart attack better

Part 6

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GlEoAUW_L0

Overall: I did 49 minutes without notes, which is good. But I was overly concerned about remembering all my jokes that I didn’t do much crowd work and the places where I interacted with the crowd I seemed annoyed. If you want to hear 97% of my jokes, this is the post to watch.
