Doing a check spot
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drmVXNjp0cQ
0m48s Point if leaning forward like that
1m10s Lean forward on this one if I lean forward on the first one
5m35s Cut the “sounds like you have the same degree” line
6m01s Time the pointing to coincide with “neuro divorce”
Overall: Ok for checks.
Hosting the writer’s mic

0m42s Do a mom bit before saying she hates the impression of her
2m33s Pause after “so you’re out of the hospital”
3m58s Cut or rework the morally bankrupt hero thing
Overall: Working out newer stuff. Mediocre mic response.
Doing a longer set on the 8pm show
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFesx5v3f3A
4m58s Deliver “god I hope this works” in a more worried manner
5m20s The idea is there, the wording is terrible
6m01s Delivery sounded forced on that line
6m26s Tilt my head up higher
8m02s Hold my leg on the hammy line
9m29s Don’t screw up the line
9m39s Say two minutes not twenty seconds
10m57s Don’t address the polysci majors thing unless it’s a big laugh
12m14s Really funny improvised play off of what happened in the room
15m09s Be more direct “you’re my favorite audience member” instead of “he’s my number one fan”
15m46s Mess with him for that weird non answer
16m20s Lean forward on “get tested”
Overall: Consistent small laughs but not enough huge laughs.
A check spot on the 10pm
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrCNTTtN0xA
0m44s Slightly weird pointing forward motion
2m41s Find a better way for this line
3m38s Go softer on “I’m kidding”
3m55s Shift tone between the first and second half of the sentence more
4m08s I reversed the order of the war profiteering and the neuro, thereby running the neuro war profiteering line
5m34s Don’t acknowledge the bills in that way
5m50s Go even sadder on the delivery
7m25s I could mess with him more for lack of originality
Overall: Average to mediocre check spot
The 8pm show
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACKinx4jekc
0m45s True quick anecdote about today, not that funny though
3m24s Find a better way to that line
4m01s Say the “I just learned” at the start of the sentence
6m31s Get to that line a little quicker
6m41s Hit the last line harder
6m54s Pause for half a second after “transferred in from”
7m44s Slow down a little
8m10s Turn to the side for this line
Overall: Good set. I did two week old jokes and they went over decently well. I just need to tighten them up.
