The 8pm show

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAgNc8-pITE

1m44s The new version of “cancel relationship” isn’t as good as the old version

2m14s This is a good one liner before the suicide joke

3m36s I missed the hard “v” on “what”

4m02s My accent has been better

6m22s I shouldn’t do these one liners unless the j-date joke kills

Overall: This was pretty strong set throughout, but I need to end on a stronger joke than my dating one liners. Also, I should go back to my original version of the “cancel relationship” joke.

A 6pm show, with four audience members

1m30s Pause a little longer after the fist pump

3m35s I should’ve gone into the brother-sister dynamic more

4m33s Say this more “matter of fact” and less angry

5m21s No need for the word “no”

5m56s Instead of “before going back with her” say “before we get down to it”

Overall: My delivery was good and smooth, and I got consistently small laughs from the tiny audience. I could’ve addressed what the audience member said better, but otherwise it was fine.

1m22s Slow down

3m05s I don’t sound conversational

4m56s I need to say this as more matter of fact

6m03s Throw my arm out “tap dancing”

6m32s This is a new line and relatively strong

7m26s At least I ended strong

Overall: I talked too fast and didn’t sound conversational at all for the first five minutes. I need to learn the sweet spot between not smiling and not yelling at the audience.

An open mic with five people in the audience

0m18s Don’t say “I haven’t made this funny yet”

0m35s Rephrase to “How much did you pay her, for chance encounter?”

1m41s Yell out “remix” louder and commit to it more

2m57s Say the photo stuff up front, before doing the old woman act out

3m23s Brand new joke

3m54s It should just be “peach” not “peach schnapps”

5m37s Sound more reminiscent

6m58s Don’t stumble on words

Overall: The netflix joke has worked a couple of times in a row, even at a tiny five person open mic like this, that means I should try it at a real show. The vacation photo joke needs to be a lot shorter.

A mostly musicians open mic, I’m getting brought up to the stage at 3:50 in the morning

0m46s I love that the host actually makes people shut up, like here

2m14s Make record scratching sounds before yelling “remix”

2m52s The better response is “that’s cause we had to go shopping”

7m22s Add on “I might as well make you my manager”

Overall: The fact that I was able to perform at all at 4am is impressive, laughs at this hour are just a bonus
