An open mic

1m20s Speed up the delivery

4m00s Say “if” instead of “whether”

5m10s Tighten and reword what she says

Overall: Working out a bunch of new jokes, the mom criticism has potential

The 8pm show with about 20 audience members

2m07s Keep the accent consistent

2m31s Do these lines in my regular voice

4m08s Say it a little more playfully

5m52s Laugh for a little longer

8m06s Good job handling and addressing the interruption, too bad that’s the strongest laugh of the set

Overall: I remembered this going a lot better in person than on the tape.

Opening for an improv group

2m02s Keep the mom voice the same pitch throughout

2m09s Sound more annoyed on the word “plane”

2m24s Try saying that in the normal voice

3m28s Laugh for another second

5m46s They said I was doing five minutes, so the clock in my head went off

6m35s Finish the joke, then point that I saw the light

Overall: Average set, slightly better than average considering the MC didn’t do any jokes before bringing me up. The set could’ve been a little more conversational.

1m03s The voices line should always be the second bit I do, not the third

2m56s Reword to make this a statement instead of a question

3m40s Use the word “if” instead of “whether”

Overall: Working out new stuff, and it needs work

The 8pm show

1m32s Weird that the three lines before that didn’t get much response, but this line did

3m27s Do this in my regular voice

6m11s Good job ending on a strong laugh

Overall: Solid set but not amazing. Even though the stuff is working, there’s a couple of adjustments needed.
