An open mic
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KPRTp4X8_8
1m01s Don’t even reask them, just go with whatever I heard
1m31s Be more indignation about not getting to pick the restaurant
3m17s Change the physical position between the lines
4m07s Hit “I’m allergic to nuts” harder
4m34s Say “candle” not “cake”
5m20s Rushed the end cause I was out of time
Overall: Great for an open mic, still need to get the words and delivery smoother.
Doing a check spot

0m10s Don’t say “thank you” until the clapping dies down, or else it seems like I just started doing material
0m49s The hand motion shouldn’t look like a stiff arm
6m18s That lines a keeper
6m54s Say “the song” somewhere in there
7m44s Birthday song is getting better
Overall: Ok for checks. It was a slow start but it got better once I ditched my “A material” and went into the stuff I actually wanted to talk about.
Hosting a mic

0m19s Hit the end of the line harder
1m05s Say the line without correcting myself mid sentence
1m56s Instead of “repeat over and over” say “tell me over and over”
2m32s Give them all relative names: aunt, uncle, nephew, etc
4m29s Don’t pause after “it wasn’t a haircut”
5m01s Don’t pause after “and he does”
Overall: Decent for opening at a mic. Need to get the new material to flow smoother. The two new birthday parts around minute three had a good response.
Hosting the open mic with only 8 people

0m53s Make sure not to confound “safety” and “safe”
2m21s Remember where the joke goes
2m54s Learn the lines
4m16s Try reversing it “not only wouldn’t she let me pick the cake, but I’m allergic to nuts”
5m09s There’s potential with the Russian birthday song
Overall: Weak even for a mic. I just rewrote the material and didn’t have time to learn it.
Going first on the 8pm show

0m53s Hit “we’re not friends” harder
2m20s Speed up the delivery a little bit
4m58s Probably shouldn’t do this one if the “last time I went it was 350” doesn’t hit hard
7m05s Definitely shouldn’t do this one if the previous few haven’t hit hard
7m35s And don’t keep going darker if it’s not working
8m57s At least this one new line worked decently well
Overall: The first three minutes and last two minutes were ok, but the middle seven were pretty bad. It didn’t help that I decided to keep doing darker material when it clearly wasn’t working.
