Saturday afternoon open mic
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LS6b92yTPlQ
0m41s Hold the shocked face for another two seconds
1m15s Pause for another second after, “that didn’t really happen”
1m33s The 401k wording is slightly awkward
2m40s An applause break at an open mic, that’s rare
3m17s Do better object work for each of the motions I perform
Overall: Decent. I worked out jokes that I’ve been doing but still need some work.
Friday night show

1m02s Move my head straight across, don’t dip it down
2m25s First good laugh of the set
4m29s Pause for another half second
4m37s Bad restart to the joke, but it still worked
4m49s I should’ve talked to the pregnant woman after “my mom didn’t pretend”
5m20s I’m looking down too much
5m52s I should be doing this joke more often
6m15s I forgot the “can’t share the spotlight” part of the joke
Overall: Decent set but not amazing. I got consistent laughs but only big laughs in 3 or 4 places. I need to pause for another second for the “ladies, ever pretend you’re pregnant?” question. And if someone answers, I need to either ignore it and deliver my punch line, or go back to setting up the joke again.
A Thursday Open Mic
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqWc6tnKYKk
0m43s Better response “I need to get a price plus card”
1m22s Always good when the set gets derailed by the MC
1m40s Better to say “babies are harmful” or “babies are dangerous”
2m47s Good pause length so that everyone catches up
3m07s I should do this smiling and jumping around more
4m10s Try moving my hand from down to up instead of up to down
4m37s Start scrolling slow then speed it up
Overall: I’m working out newer but usable jokes and it wasn’t terrible for an open mic. I need to change some words and hand motions, but most of these jokes are ready for real shows.
Me MCing a Queens Bar Show for six people who are sometimes paying attention

3m20s I should’ve asked the guy in sunglasses some questions, instead of just commenting
5m53s Make more jokes about the phone ringing
7m24s There’s a couple on a date, and they don’t realize the background noise, this is the funniest thing of the night
7m54s I should’ve kept doing the fake conversation
Part 2

1m40s I should slow down my delivery, even if it’s getting loud
3m15s The comic ended his set in his underwear, that got someone to listen at least
4m13s I really need to try this joke with a crowd of predominantly women, I think it’ll kill
Part 3 – This is other stuff in between comics
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkTk5m9E94A
1m28s I really should host my own talk show
2m23s Not a bad idea for a talk show: Start marital spouts by accident
3m38s At least someone is listening now
3m56s I should’ve “yes and-ed” the guys statement instead of just agreeing with it
6m16s The rule of “23” at work (if you say something enough times, it becomes funny again)
6m49s It’s always fun to misinterpret what someone says
Overall: This was 25 minutes of stage time. I addressed the crowd at times and did my jokes at other times. It’s tough to do comedy when people are half listening at best, but it makes you tougher. The mystery science theatre 3000 of commenting about people who aren’t listening was pretty entertaining.
The Sunday writer’s mic

1m29s This was funnier when I did it in an improv monologue
2m11s This needs a rewrite
3m11s Grammar jokes are not my friend
Overall: The first minute was jokes I’d been working on and they worked, the next three and a half minutes were half baked jokes, and none of them will be kept in their current form.
