A mic

1m16s I look miserable

1m45s Say “I’ve found” before “the three keys to…”

3m39s Think of a funnier third thing for the list

4m15s Keep my hands apart for longer

Overall: Eh, standard low response for an open mic. I need to learn to look like I’m having fun and enjoying myself at all times.

A show for 10-15 people

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_57SFk5UUJk

1m23s Good improvisation

1m39s Get a better poking motion

3m07s Reword to “They’re dicks, right?”

4m52s Keep the hands open for longer

5m28s I need something better than neuro athlete

6m29s Good job acknowledging and pushing it

Overall: Good set. My two newer jokes about shoes and being nerdy worked fairly well, although a couple of the lines need fixing. I did a good job acknowledging the “oohs” and moving past them.

Doing a set for five audience members at my Queens show

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7dq66u0gw4

0m26s The woman I’m talking to was at least 70

1m23s Good job attempting crowd work after a bit missed

2m59s I’m trying “airplane” instead of “plane” to give people more time to get it, I’m not sure that it’s helping

4m35s Maybe try adding “there were two people in front of me just taking their time”

5m13s Try not saying “or whatever”

6m32s Play with the audience member more, don’t go back into material that quickly

7m27s Do the “pow” more confidently

Part 2

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFWcKAr9ReM

1m00s Figure out a different and faster way to get from x games to ford focus

2m25s Move the hands multiple times

7m52s Say “slogan on the box”

Part 3

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=550t6_s4qt4

0m22s More emphasis on “which usually means”

Overall: Weak set. I plowed through it and practiced material when I should’ve just worked on my crowd work.

An open mic

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wI6CQ71MerQ

0m48s Get rid of “hundred dollar”

1m11s I’m in stand up voice and not conversational voice

1m18s Smoke pot should be first in the list

3m01s Try “early inheritance”

5m22s That’s a new tag, I don’t know if I wanna keep it if it’s gonna get a groan as this joke is already on the line

Overall: The new jokes need work and the normal jokes didn’t hit that hard, that’s why it’s an open mic

A bar show

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6CaO-2di2E

3m37s I should’ve gone away from mom jokes after the first one didn’t hit that well

6m16s Try talking to them instead of doing  more jokes at this point

7m17s Say “sell them”

Overall: I need to learn to get out of a string of jokes if the first one doesn’t hit in that subject area, especially during a shorter set. I also need to go into crowd work quicker when jokes aren’t hitting.
