0m34s Change “sex partner” to “lay”
1m12s Cut this tag
1m59s Face the same person who I said “I like your shoes” for the start of the joke
3m30s Change “masters” to “college”
5m09s Make a joke about it after saying “I wasn’t gonna be a dick and make a joke about it”
Overall: Nothing special, working out rewritten jokes
A bar show for three audience members
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jrm0RBaHz-8
0m56s Change “masters degree” back to “college diploma”
4m14s Funny cause he was sitting with his mom
4m55s Pause longer before saying anything
6m23s Say “so it’s worth it” in a more matter of fact way
Overall: Not great not terrible and I got to listen to some background music while watching this tape.
An open mic

0m59s No need for the “it’s not it’s intended purpose” line
1m23s Change my left hand motion to make it like she’s knocking me away from her mid section
2m00s Pause after “www”
2m38s Pick either “drunk” or “high” no need for both
3m10s Cut the bar graph of rates line
4m52s Kill the porn star plumber example
Overall: I tried out rewritten versions of old jokes, and while the room was kinda dead, it still helps to watch it and see what parts don’t sound right
Another bar show

0m24s Ask a little more politely
1m05s Cut “use it as a phone” and “it’s a lousy baseball”
2m45s Say “challenged” instead
3m01s Don’t talk over it, acknowledge it and say “that’s not even the funny part”
4m35s Great improvised lines
5m12s I should’ve have forced my way back into this joke after the interruption
6m45s That’s funny
9m28s This part is much weaker than the first part of the Yelp joke
Part 2

0m48s I’m stepping on laughs, slow down on this joke
Overall: Good set and good job messing around with the audience. The second part of the Yelp joke needs work.
A bar show, the camera and audio is about 40 feet away from the stage

3m03s Good job to keep hitting the improvised joke
3m45s Good job going back to the mom joke by mumbling about her for a few seconds like I was remembering what I was saying. That’s much better than going straight back into a joke. Of course, it’s better to just bail out of it completely.
5m29s Keep swinging my hips the whole time I do this character
7m08s Good job responding to his “I’ll give you twenty bucks”
Part 2
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Vm2GiMaJME
Overall: Great set and great job playing off of what the crowd was saying and getting a lot of laughs each time I was interrupted
