Going up 2 hours into a show, with half the audience gone
httpv://youtu.be/KtiB_5HCkmQ
1m38s Say the university name more happy, like I’m advertising it
2m25s Reset it the punch line a little with “so I told my buddy”
2m56s Emphasize surprise on the word “basement”
4m18s Have a better line for if someone actually acts excited about my birthday
Overall: Good for this late in a show.
MCing the 8pm show for about 25-30 people
httpv://youtu.be/ezdXumXhE5A
0m31s Don’t say “mentioned” twice in the same sentence
2m06s I could go into more questions with each person as their answers aren’t fully exact
3m40s Could’ve caught them up on my guessing game
7m45s Could’ve explained the averaging of years better
8m24s Say “all” not “most” to make the next comment funnier
10m47s End the sentence on “free”
11m37s Do a different save line if I’m trying to start the show on it
12m00s Doing time before the headliner
15m20s Don’t switch hands on the mic before “which ugly one” as it slows it down in a weird way
16m17s Sound more frustrated
Overall: Eh. I got laughs but didn’t increase the room energy as much as I would’ve liked.
The 10pm show
httpv://youtu.be/NkZXjLIjnnQ
0m13s Could’ve made fun of the random unnecessary “woos”
0m57s Say eight seconds not minutes
2m57s Improvise without stuttering and get my commercial jingles right
3m14s This interaction totally ruined my momentum
5m37s It should be “how do you win TEN”
Overall: Good set but not great. I was getting big laughs throughout but it doesn’t sound like full room laughs, just sections of the room.

The 8pm show
httpv://youtu.be/HnFVijnWdQw
0m55s Shorten to “I ran into a high school buddy”
3m18s Slow this down a little
3m27s More surprise on the delivery for “basement”
5m18s Let the laughs die a little more before “this got preachy”
7m00s Didn’t need to whisper
7m25s Would’ve been funny to find out her rehab facility and do a fake commercial for it
9m11s I missed “he’s like” before the “that could be kinda fun”
13m05s Not sure why I went into this joke here, I didn’t need more crowd interaction
15m34s Watch my hand as I make the circle more
Overall: Good set. I handled the two places I got heckled well and got strong laughs throughout.
