An open mic

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXyFh-uaGTk

1m57s It’s not clear I’m flipping through a photo album

4m08s Watching the tape it feels like nobody is listening to me, and I should’ve called it out by now

Overall: One of “those” open mics.

Doing a regular set at my Queens show

2m05s This transition makes no sense after the previous interaction which I didn’t finish off, so it makes full sense that the joke failed

2m59s The hotel interior should be part of her voice

7m03s No need for the second “I know”

8m09s I should’ve gone into my “if only one person laughs, we’ve found the real serial killer” line after that low reaction

9m37s Mean but funny

Part 2

Overall: I tried out a bunch of unpolished jokes up front and some went better than others. Not a great set, but I gotta do unfinished jokes somewhere.

Late night after the show has been going for 2.5+ hours

0m20s I look really fat from the side, work on my posture

1m33s Take longer pauses between each phrase

2m02s I’m flying through my mom’s act outs, which is why the laughs aren’t there

5m46s Smile a little bit while saying that

Overall: Decent especially considering how long they’d been there, but the suicide joke hasn’t been hitting as hard lately.

A Sunday night bar show

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

0m40s I seem pissed off, don’t

2m42s Stop after each of those lines, I’m going too fast

4m38s My third favorite response after laughter and applause is someone choking on their drink/food

6m10s Completely unnecessary sidebar, but it’s funny to me

6m49s Make the diagram much bigger and do each part with a different hand

7m18s Add a couple of more thoughts after “Do we want him to follow us home?” like “That could be fun” and “We’ve always wanted a New York adventure”

7m58s Say “Mom before daughter”, not “Mom and daughter”

Part 2

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQDKnRy9z_k

1m32s I need to figure out how to get people on board with that joke

Overall: Ehh. I got laughs but they weren’t that loud. The mobile adoption center joke still doesn’t work, so I shouldn’t end on it.

The Sunday writer’s mic

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0719iME_6Q

0m43s Deliver the scratched line more playfully

1m25s Say it more playfully, don’t deadpan

2m43s Try changing “TiVo” to “DVR”

Overall: I tried to change the ending of an old joke and added a callback to it, and then tried out a new joke that needs work
