Performance Critique: September 25

Hosting the writer’s mic

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3d0uDbecows

2m31s Order of the previous minute needs a better logical grouping

3m12s Might be worth keeping “linner”

3m23s Don’t explain why they haven’t seen each other

4m48s That’s a shorter safety word joke

5m18s Say “well” before “welcome to life”

Overall: Ok for a mic and working out new material, weak ending though

The 8pm show

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

0m57s Good line

1m54s If they say yes do a “I got depression in my eye” act out

3m00s This line has been doing well lately

4m14s Good improv, try to incorporate it into future sets

5m17s Funnier if I set it up that we have one specific fan

6m19s That’s funny to incorporate

6m57s I need a dick joke that doesn’t take 45 seconds

8m51s Good statement

9m14s Don’t stumble

9m52s Could’ve done an improvised callback to “what’s up 550?”

Overall: Great set. I really interacted with the audience. I need to expand how I want to handle the “safe word” concept, but it has legs and allows for lots of improvised callbacks.

The 8pm show

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0lTefNaDK4

1m26s Grab the mic a second sooner, or don’t touch it at all

2m10s If I had to do the save line in the middle of joke, I shouldn’t go back into it

2m25s Then I forced my way back into it again

4m52s I’m getting ok laughs, this line doesn’t make sense here

6m15s Cut “and that’s why I’m here”

Overall: Mediocre but not as horrible as I remember it going. I didn’t really have a strong set order and I jumped around jokes in a weird way, so I don’t blame them for not being with me.

Performance Critique: September 22

Doing the “feature set of the night” for 25-30 people

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjMO-9vrSLs

0m41s Nice acknowledgment

4m42s Nice improvised line about Googling yayo

5m18s I make really weird looking air quotes with my hands

6m33s Good save

8m28s Cut “and that’s why I’m here”

Part 2

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFlfUz4euv8

2m21s Good additional improv line for when there wasn’t a huge laugh

2m50s Tighten this setup

4m15s Good response

5m01s Hit “difference” harder

6m08s Nice “I don’t know why”

6m34s Do the punch line quicker, before the audience gets to it like in this case

7m12s Always good when going into the Blade posture gets a laugh

10m42s If doing an accent, try to keep it consistent throughout the act out

11m49s Decent improvised act out, should make more fun of excitability of the audience member being depressed

12m34s Great improvised call back

13m12s Biggest response that line has gotten to date

14m34s Nice little in the moment line

Part 3

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Krbb8fIhrag

2m10s If I do the hula hoop twice, I should do it a third time

2m50s Funny improvised line, although a little mean

4m20s Missed a couple of words, the line should be “you get the Shaq one year legend’s deal”

5m02s Weak end to that part of the joke

5m28s Good improvised line about no service

6m44s Don’t have “right now” twice in the same sentence

9m34s Weird that that line has missed the last few times I’ve done it, need to rethink my delivery here

12m19s Not sure what she said there

12m53s When the response is convoluted like that, ask a second person before doing the Israel response

Part 4

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URezDJRjE48

1m08s I should do this bit more often, it’s fun

2m15s Try to crowd work transition into this next time

3m31s Cut this joke, it’s the only one that totally missed

4m44s And I brought the crowd back totally

6m37s First line should be more of a throwaway

7m14s Doesn’t make sense here as I got a decent laugh

8m02s Cut “insta play”

9m15s Weird delivery on “this is me positive”

9m46s Should’ve done the face for another second or two and tried to force a big laugh

10m21s Good ending line

Overall: Great set. This is the longest set I did and the most consistent laughs I’ve gotten. Minor fixes are needed here and there, but this was very good overall.

Performance Critique: September 21b

A backroom bar show

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQ4emj8rPfk

0m21s Playing off of what the MC said to start

1m10s Good job incorporating an improvised part of last night’s show into tonight’s material

1m44s Don’t stumble on the line

2m23s I love that line

3m40s Change the order of these two lines

5m14s I missed the “I’m Kazaam in this example” line

5m52s I gotta find a way to always make someone in the audience a Kazaam fan

6m22s Stepped on a laugh a little bit

6m30s Do the hula hoop a second time

8m10s Best response the cell phone marriage joke has gotten to date

Overall: Great set. Newer material is hitting well. Make minor adjustments per usual
