MCing my Queens show for five or six people

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DlQKnXPxgI

0m08s Make them clap again

1m03s Try “oh sorry John”

1m58s Kill that tag

2m11s Add in “elementary school students”

2m35s Should’ve connected the drug pushing with the Barry Bonds look a like

4m57s I should’ve named another Caribbean island and then added Brooklyn afterwards, like, “are you from Barbados, Brooklyn”

6m20s Say “some pokemon cards” instead of “a pokemon card”

6m45s Add “and we live in three different boroughs”

8m32s Turn in another direction and make it like I’m explaining it to one person before saying “cause she’s instant play”

Overall: The crowd work was okay but my energy was much lower than I should have as an MC. I should also have made them clap at the start to show I was in control.

Doing a spot two plus hours into the show

2m06s The save line here wasn’t necessary at all

2m18s Cut the “important things” part

2m55s Cut the “yes we can” tag

3m02s It’s called satire, not sarcasm

3m53s I should find a girl and be like, “she’s giving me a look like, I’ll prove you wrong”

5m01s More emphasis on “never”

Overall: Mediocre. I was overly focused on the new voting joke and wasn’t too in the moment or having enough fun. The voting jokes needs to be tightened, but it has potential.

Hosting the writers mic

1m17s Say “way more” instead of “more” and pause after each item I list

1m45s First have her name the position, then the kid name it something else

4m21s Say modern day not normal day

6m37s Be clearer and say “so the mom smiles at me”

Overall: Working out some jokes, the “we’re not friends” seems to have the most potential but I butchered the delivery and punch lines on some of the other ones.

Two hours into a bar show for four or five people

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wV-gKnS3J8w

3m45s Always nice to get an applause break from three people, but it’s even better to do shows with more than three people

4m45s I messed up the wording, it should be “you’re much better off getting me the food network video game… soufflé hero”

5m27s Try smiling throughout this joke

7m09s Try switching hands for the microphone before doing “perfect”

7m25s More emphasis on “never”

Overall: Decent. I got them to pay attention two hours in and worked out some newer stuff in the middle.

The 8pm Show

3m24s Good job addressing the situation

5m26s Don’t stumble on the punch line

5m29s Pause for an extra second before “neuro war profiteering”

5m59s Stepped on a laugh

Overall: My A material got big laughs and I mumbled a closing punch line on one newer joke and then the voting joke delivery isn’t right yet.
