An open mic with five or six comics

1m02s It’s not clear I was in a car
1m33s Cut down “play with fire” to one word
3m31s Nice job pointing to the craziest looking person in the room
4m59s Smile a little after that
Overall: Worked out some jokes that still need work.
A Sunday night show with 6 or 8 audience members
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTwelq8V9wY
0m12s People were leaving before I got brought up
3m45s Instead of “do that” say “make a website like that”
Overall: Ehhh. I bombed for the first four minutes but then I slowly brought them back. I should start talking to the audience and interacting about the joke more when the material isn’t hitting.
The Sunday Writers Mic

0m28s My lines are choppy, memorize things a little better or just go with inexact flow
2m12s Get rid of “for son”
2m49s Clean up the sentence to have less words in it
Overall: Working out some newer jokes.
The 8pm show
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZNayt9JKbY
1m28s I should call them out for applauding for coke
3m04s Weird that I lost them on the Jehovah’s model joke
3m27s Choppy words on a punch line leads to few laughs
3m46s She needs different lines
5m32s Sell the “what the fuck” look more
5m45s The “awww” through me off a little
Overall: Very up and down. I started strong, lost them on Jesus swallowing, got them back on suicidal dating and missed with the second half of the Facebook joke
A late night prom show
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lc8FuuMenXo
0m16s Awkward start
1m18s No need to say “we found the coke heads” during a high school show
1m44s Try to look a little less miserable and occasionally smile
2m47s Even the bombing save didn’t get a big laugh
4m44s When that gets a groan, I’m in trouble
6m17s Add “cause” before “Jesus would’ve wanted”
6m58s Commit to the joke and figure out the name, don’t bail on an improvised line halfway through
8m29s Terrible ending
Overall: I pretty much bombed. I was working from behind by my awkward opening and never fully dug myself out of the hole. I need to figure out the first thing to say to a crowd when I get up there before I get into material. I think a “Thank you” can suffice, but I can’t go straight into a joke, it’s awkward.
