Opening for an improv group

1m10s Hit the line harder
4m14s Turn to the side for this line, make it more of an aside
5m26s Cut the word “so” at the start, it’ll seem more random
Overall: Eh, weak but steady laughs.
Going last 2.5+ hour into a show

0m46s Respond better with something like “I love that you don’t dispute it”
4m01s Don’t pause mid sentence
4m17s Move my eyes side to side, not my head
4m44s Go straight to “I just got back from” without restating what he said
6m33s Push the mic forward on the punch line
7m01s First say, “she’s cute, good job sir.”
Overall: Weak steady-ish laughs. Connect better at the start.
Doing a check spot

0m22s Milk the face for a little longer
1m17s Pause for another half beat before “it won’t be”
1m40s Say “disputing” instead of “arguing”
5m38s Good improvised line
6m05s Go forward with the mic stand instead of putting my arms out
Overall: The second half was a little better than the first half, but neither was that good.
Hosting the writer’s mic

0m58s Cut this rod line
1m22s Cut this responsibility line
3m53s If I’m gonna do this, I need to talk about my views of marriage first
Overall: Eh, working out newer stuff
Going first on the 8pm show

0m49s I should’ve said “well your shoes are also stupid”
4m22s Say “in a box” instead of “in a ship”
5m30s Don’t go into this bit if the response on other edgier/meaner stuff hasn’t hit
5m58s Tilt my head up more
6m18s Have a bigger smile the whole time
8m08s Good callback to what the audience did before
9m29s Good job getting a laugh on just the look
12m09s Move both hands, not just one
Overall: The set was up and down and the crowd wouldn’t go with me on the edgier stuff, but I was able to keep bringing them back. I need to commit harder to the Blade character and make sure he’s always smiling and darting his eyes, regardless of the crowd’s initial reaction.
