Early evening open mic with five comics

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEot4GDtUXA

0m32s Change “you’ve” to “you”

5m19s No need to say “I wanted you to know”

6m23s Don’t switch it up, if I planned to do all my new mom jokes, I should stick with it

7m11s Sound more dreamy about the statistics, like they’re amazing

8m48s Kill the cycle part of the joke

Part 2

0m46s Do some record scratching sounds before yelling out “remix”

Overall: The netflix joke seems to be ready for a real audience, and some of the other jokes need more tweaking.

A restaurant basement show for 10-12 people

2m02s This version of the “cancel relationship” joke isn’t working as well as the previous version

2m26s Instead of “I have a confession to make” it should be “you should know”

6m27s My lips look rather awkward while I’m tap dancing, try smiling

7m37s I’m glad this semi call-back worked

8m44s Change “women” to “sexual partners”

Overall: I had consistent (albeit small) laughs throughout. The newer Russian mom stuff seems to be working in front of real crowds.

An open mic

1m02s Change “this great bit” to “this gem”

1m52s Change “no chess prodigy” to “not chess prodigy”

3m29s No need for the “with or” part of the punch line

5m54s Don’t say “and” on the second example

Overall: Working out newer stuff, all of it still needs adjustments but none of it needs to be completely forgotten…

MCing my weekly bar show

1m03s Do the Igor likes this face stronger

1m53s Welcome and acknowledge the people that just walked in

5m36s I could apply the concept of “psychology plant” to any white color job for future crowd work

8m20s Only took 8 minutes to get people to slightly quiet down

9m12s Sneezes can ruin momentum and timing

Part 2

0m30s I need to be more high energy and excited when saying “It’s gonna be a fun show”

0m52s This is a terrible joke to do before brining up a comic, even if it’s my favorite joke

Overall: I did a mediocre hosting job. I should’ve gotten the audience to clap it up a second time right at the start to take better control of the room and I need to force myself to do more and better crowd work, even if the first part of crowd work doesn’t hit. I also need to be higher energy when hosting.

Opening a restaurant show for three audience members

1m28s Have a better reaction, no need for the music

2m14s Material isn’t hitting, I should’ve gone into crowd work

5m02s At least the new “chess prodigy” line got an almost laugh

5m48s Took way too long to get to crowd work

7m31s Stumble stumble, try not to mumble

Part 2

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

1m02s Better response would’ve been “go to his house”

1m39s Reword to “that’s a first ballot hall of famed”

3m03s At least the suicide joke sorta worked

Overall: This went about as bad as a set can go, but my two new bits of chess prodigy and going to the gym did comparatively well. If the entire first joke misses, I need to learn to jump out of material for a bit and just do some crowd work, and not just one little crowd work but like a minute in a row.
