A 10pm bar show for 10-12 people
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmH6vCLmcjI
0m13s Say it more like a statement, not as a question
0m53s Push myself to make it go somewhere
2m17s I could’ve addressed his comments while in the mom character
3m21s Move my eyes more than my head
3m54s Keep the maniacal smile the entire time I’m in character
4m29s Keep addressing it til I get a laugh
Overall: Decent set but my two crowd interactions were weak.
MCing the 8pm show

0m38s Don’t do that sound effect, maybe the effect of air deflating
1m41s Good improvised line
2m13s Nice segue into my next joke
2m45s Sell my confusion a little harder
3m44s This line could’ve been funnier
4m27s Nice accidental rhyme
4m32s This flows really well after the psychic thing
5m46s I missed a part of the joke, but went back to it later
6m59s Nice improvised answer
8m59s It’d be stronger to say “as long as it’s the only time you spit” instead of “thing you spit”
9m43s Hit “somebody went to Yale” harder and more sarcastically
10m14s After “trying to avoid it” add “now I actually want to know”
Overall: Great job MCing. I had good energy and good crowd interactions. There’s still lots of room for improvement though.
Late night music and comedy

1m33s I should have the mom hold the mic from the side when I don’t use the mic stand
5m22s This isn’t material but maybe I can work something from this
9m01s The last five minutes was straight up therapy and now it’s back to jokes
Overall: The material didn’t work at the start but I got to talk about things that were bothering me without worrying about laughs. It’s crucial to have a room you can do that in.
An open mic

0m18s The previous comic spoke in Japanese to start his act
2m34s That’s the right line for the chicken joke. Only took 5 rewrites.
3m19s Say the word “now” more abruptly
Overall: The new mom stuff is coming along and I found an ending for the chicken joke.
A writer’s mic

0m47s Cut that line altogether
2m08s Think of a different punchline
2m32s Don’t do the wet joke the first time that Blade comes out
3m59s Don’t hesitate mid sentence
Overall: The new mom bits did ok, everything else was weak
