The 8pm show

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16_BYFv0p48

0m34s Try pausing after “I also laughed”

7m28s Say “broke” instead of “impoverished”

Overall: Solid set. The mom not scared joke needs a little work but has lots of potential.

1m32s Cut or rewrite the part after thesaurus

3m24s Change the joke

3m40s The dangerous line should be in my normal voice

4m05s I should say “relax” and pause before the cheating husbands part

5m08s Move arm around more during “ooh look at me”

Overall: Average for a mic

Doing a check spot on the 10pm show

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0EKuS6rD9o

2m18s Tell her to let it out, not cover it up

3m48s That was a decent response

6m02s Good response

6m27s Good call back

Overall: Considering it was a rough check spot, I did a good job not being too fazed and had a couple of decent responses to heckles.

The 8pm show

1m27s Could’ve had a funnier response

3m00s Weird that the plane line missed when everything else hit

4m24s Don’t use the word “jokes” in there

6m11s Do a full room scan first, then say the line

8m46s Cut the “plus minus” line

9m18s Add “that’s why I do it”

10m18s End on the laugh, no need to plug the website

Overall: Solid set, could still use a couple of adjustments

An open mic

0m10s The previous comic put the mic in his armpit

2m00s Telegraphed the joke

3m32s Setup the joke in the crazy voice too

3m45s Nice when a new joke gets applause

5m05s Some of these lines need to be in different order

Overall: Good for a mic, a couple of the new jokes are getting there
