Opening The Saturday Night Show

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Apbrc265qyw

1m48s Not sure why the jdate joke missed, I did it with the usual delivery

2m23s This is working better with a list of three

6m41s I love the audible gasps and the “jesus”

Overall: Great set overall and I went first. The only negative was the jdate joke missing. I lost the crowd a little at the last part of the suicide joke but it still made me laugh on the inside. I’m a huge fan of the “that KILLS at planned parenthood” tag.

A Saturday afternoon open mic

0m22s I decided to open with a new joke

1m06s No need to say “take your time”

2m10s Before listing the three, I should say “just off the top of my head we got…”

2m30s No need for that comment

2m59s Turn more to the left when saying the remembering faces line

3m17s I did that joke before I memorized the whole joke

5m06s That’s a new tag on the joke

Overall: I started with a minute and a half of new jokes that worked well, and then I did other newer stuff. I need to work on not commenting on a joke or two not hitting, especially at an open mic. I also need to finish up my remembering names and faces joke. The new version of the pot buddy joke seems to be working.

The Friday night show

0m26s Doing a female voice for the line works well

2m33s I tried doing three examples instead of two

5m01s Commit to the hand motion more if I’m gonna repeat it three times

6m18s Pause for longer and wait for laughter to die down before saying “by that guy”

Overall: Very solid set but the “Professor Ben” line didn’t hit and I need to commit to my hand motion harder on “businessman”

A bar show with 3 audience members. I need to figure out a way to film better video in such places

0m13s The room looks funny so I have to call it out

2m10s There’s a reason I stopped trying this line a while ago

6m15s Weird couple of seconds of interaction

7m01s Don’t do the spanking motion til after I say the line

9m08s Try saying “I see a lot of you got uncomfortable, I was upset too…”

Part 2

1m07s No need to address what kind of joke that is

2m47s I should do it as “He got high again, and then said, “alright, I’ll tell you””

3m38s This is me thinking about what joke to do next

Overall: Mediocre set but it was fifteen minutes of stage time, I powered through the dead spaces and got some laughs.

The Sunday Writer’s Mic

0m43s Try saying I don’t have health insurance before saying the vet line

1m27s The comic started talking so I went into a mini rant about his material, probably shouldn’t do that

2m58s This joke seems better when the character is whispering and conspiratorial

3m49s This is a new joke, the first part worked better than the next two

Overall: I did mostly new jokes and parts of each of the new jokes worked which doesn’t always happen. Of course, other parts need rewriting. Also, the pot buddy joke seems to be more effective when the pot friend is a distinct character.
