MCing my show for five people

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NEEQRLju88

1m35s Don’t be quiet for THAT long

2m21s Good improvisation

3m45s Good job not doing a joke for nearly four minutes, I need to get more comfortable with bullshitting and improvising for laughs

5m52s Go back to just “plane”

7m48s Good job going back to crowd work after a few jokes

Part 2

0m55s True story

3m15s He walked two people (from a seven person show), so I had to talk about it for a bit

6m45s Do more of an act out on the cop line

7m20s Make it seem like a real heart attack, not a caricature

Overall: Good job hosting. The laughs weren’t huge but I kept the crowd engaged. I didn’t do material for the first four minutes and half of my upfront set was crowd work. And I kept it positive.

Two and half hours into the show

1m05s Strong laugh for this late into a show and with most of the audience gone

3m03s Go into it more, like do an impression of the audience member not laughing or something

4m08s I should’ve capped that off with my “how would you like nine inches”

5m38s We were passing the mic to increase the odds the audience stays

Overall: Really strong set, especially given how long into the show this was

The writers mic, not hosting it for the first time in a while

1m22s Add in a “by the way” first

2m07s Pause before democracy

3m26s Try “EARLY inheritance”

3m30s Sell the heart attack better

Overall: The three new jokes need work but have potential. The millionaire joke could be worded better.

“Headlining” the 8pm show

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.
