The 8pm show

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8D81nhgapk

1m45s Address the crossed arms sooner, or get a laugh before going back into material

4m08s I got a little more annoyed than needed, and I should’ve pointed out “like the rest of the audience doesn’t know that’s bad”

7m24s No need to keep going back to it, although it worked out this time

9m18s Change the neuro examples

Part 2

1m08s I should’ve called them out, “what you guys don’t like the internet?”

Overall: Good but not great. I should be more playful about getting interrupted the first time and not get visibly annoyed right away.

2m22s That’s funny

5m05s Cut “taking their time”

Part 2

1m24s Better response “my skit was going great until you called it a skit”

5m40s That was a good call back

7m55s Sell the “that’s so cutting edge” more

Part 3

Overall: Not great but it was 2am and I had fun BSing and doing a couple of jokes, and the “Kodak graveyard” improvised line is going in as a permanent tag.

A bar show for 6 people

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5athAUs1KE

1m17s React more positively to the philosophy major or talk to her about it a little

3m33s I should put more emphasis on “passion” to make them sound worse

5m42s Decent improvised line

Overall: I bombed and didn’t connect with the audience. If someone “wooooos” on a topic, I should talk to them about it a little bit.

A mic in a bar

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1hiQIrNO20

1m59s Maybe try milking the act out of pulling down a chart and turning on a projector for longer

3m00s Try “unemployment benefits”

4m30s Try adding “and my new best friend”

Overall: Working out newer jokes, they need work

The worst mic in the city

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

1m39s Instead of “worth it” say “if it’s for something important”

2m44s Sell the heart attack

2m56s Say the line more confidently

5m08s I usually do this round of “writing jokes” when I’m at home with a microphone

6m25s Doing my closer just proved it was a dead room

Overall: No response (which is usual at this mic) but I found a way to have fun: trying my half written ideas out loud and just hearing it myself
