I’m Mcing this show

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9vi_k2oBOM

0m32s The announcer said not to heckle comics so everyone was overly quiet

1m53s If I’m gonna poke fun at Texas, I need to be funnier about it

2m24s I need to say “if you do that” before “then you got huge tubes”

2m49s Crowd work is very hit or miss for me, and this was a miss

3m57s I’m not sure anyone under 35 remembers Columbia House (the in the mail CD club), need a better reference

5m35s Times like this I hate that I put up all my videos online. Tonight it seems that my crowd work couldn’t be less funny if I tried

7m20s Watching this set, I can’t blame the audience for not liking me, I hate myself here too

Overall: This is one of the worst sets I’ve had in a while. The only positive is that I kept doing my material in my usual manner instead of getting defeated about the situation and mailing it in. I need to learn to do crowd work consistently and effectively.

This was advertised as a show but turned out to be a booked open mic

0m13s Since I figured out this was an open mic I decided to do one old joke and then go into the material I wanted to workout

1m01s I need to sound more angry about “well my mom didn’t pretend”

1m25s Not enough distinct pauses after each English word

2m16s That failed in a miserably comical manner

2m47s I need to change physical positions when doing a different character

4m03s And I’ve completely lost the crowd (of comics)

Overall: My new jokes are way too long and don’t have enough punch lines. They need rewrites. Also the rock, paper, coat hangar joke may need to be dropped.

0m11s No clue why I keep opening with this

1m48s I don’t know if there’s multiple types, I swear!

2m16s I should throw in “whoever’s laughing has herpes”

3m42s Someone trying to be witty for no reason

4m44s First time ever this line has gotten zero laughs

Overall: Pretty horrible set, but a new line came out of this, so it wasn’t for naught

This is the Sunday writer’s mic

0m27s Rewinding time is fun

1m25s The “cancel relationship” line should be later on

1m48s I shouldn’t call out applause breaks

2m12s Audience member outwitted me, if I was quick I would’ve offered to do it 3 times and have her owe me 3.5 inches

2m53s VCR manual always gets a laugh with comics but never with a real audience

3m57s The first “help me” should be more distraught

4m24s Kill the material between here and 4m42s

Overall: I tried out some newer material and it mostly worked. The Rock, Paper, Coat hanger might only work with meaner audiences, and the bits about my Russian background need to be tightened.

This is the midnight show and the checkspot

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEbHe0GjUBg

0m57s I should’ve started nodding a half second sooner

1m22s I missed “if you do that” before “then you got huge tubes”

2m00s My tone for “Igor likes this” wasn’t drastic enough

2m14s Talking way too fast

2m41s More emphasis on “circus”

2m58s I shouldn’t have two sentences in a row that start with “but”

3m35s No need to drop in the yearbook thing

4m30s Calling out the current situation always gets a laugh

6m01s I need more emphasis on “huge tubes”

Overall: I talked too fast and my tonality was off. I need to learn how to do a check spot better.
