This is the 8:30 show

0m03s I didn’t ask for the intro as I’ve stopped doing it

0m15s But I had to go with it and do the joke

2m05s I had a big hickey on my neck, some girl in the audience commented on it

5m42s I love how the girl up front has ADD and keeps asking “what?”

Overall: Not a pretty set. I started strong and then went nowhere. I think I lost them when I didn’t respond to the “loving tennis” comment from the crowd. If I wasn’t dedicated to uploading and critiquing all of my sets, this would be one that would never see the light of day

This is me on the midnight show

0m11s The previous comic took the camera of the girl sitting right up front and left the room with it, it was a really funny closer, but sucked for me because now the front center of the room is worrying about their camera and not fully listening to me

0m50s She was talking a lot so I had to address it

2m43s I love how that gets the big laugh

2m59s I didn’t do the Amazon voice the right way

3m41s No reason to say “over drinks”

4m25s Two big laughs in four and a half minutes… not good

Overall: This set got a couple of big laughs but it was mostly crickets. I think the camera being taken right before me messed up the vibe of the room a bit. This was a rough night of comedy. None of my four sets did particularly well but at least it was stage time…

This is the 10:30 show, a small crowd and I’m MCing

0m52s My best laugh of the set

3m21s I’m waiting for someone to answer “anything you want”

3m52s I shouldn’t talk to more than two sets of people before doing a joke

4m55s This crowd is giving me nothing

5m26s That could’ve been delivered with more anger (not that it would’ve mattered with this set)

6m08s At least I acknowledged the situation

6m20s This was going so poorly that I didn’t even bother to close with a joke

Overall: I bombed. Even for an MC when you don’t get many strong laughs, this was bad. The energy of the room was low to begin with and I didn’t do much to bring it up.

0m18s There were 6 people in the audience and 5 of them were foreign, which is why I started with greeting them in foreign languages

0m29s I love the coordinated “why”

2m15s This is me realizing my jokes rely on advanced English words like “fallopian tubes” that foreign people probably won’t know

2m55s I went with the most “act out” joke that doesn’t really on words that I had

3m15s And it didn’t really work, so I stopped doing jokes

4m05s I had to try a joke once more

4m33s At least I’m having fun

5m49s No idea why I decided this was the joke to tell

6m18s I need to emphasize “YOU”

Overall: Once I realized I wouldn’t be getting laughs because the audience’s English was limited, I had fun just talking to the audience

This is me back in New York for good (I’m only doing shows in New York for all of June and July) – it’s a small crowd and 7PM

0m22s I decided to try this joke out as my opener, it doesn’t work

1m21s This seems to be a dead crowd, or I pissed them off really early

3m49s The person in the audience replied “he was the pizza boy”

5m20s I can make my statement of “you guys like to smoke the drugs” more dramatic if I pause, took a careful look into the audience, and then say it

6m42s Say “everyone in New York” before looking around

Overall: I did all my jokes the regular way but it didn’t get many laughs. I’m not sure if it’s because I tried a different opener or I just didn’t vibe with the crowd.
