An open mic

1m38s This is the first time someone actually replied to that question, good to know I can improvise a response
4m02s It should be “I’ve got leftovers” instead of “there’s leftovers”
Overall: Standard weak mic response
Doing a check spot

3m04s This line doesn’t make sense after the choking line
4m27s First somewhat laugh, that should happen 4+ minutes earlier
6m02s The random flower line doesn’t make sense
Overall: I bombed even for a check spot. I feel the joke order hurt me.
The 8pm show

0m14s Put on the glove slower
1m13s Give “that could be kinda fun” a girl voice
1m36s Sound slightly more playful
2m26s I forgot to do the whole “I remember her” part of the joke, and that part takes the character so over the line that it becomes obvious it’s a character
4m36s Pause for an extra half second after “if you lock your kid in the basement”
Overall: I bombed. The first couple of jokes didn’t hit and then I got the order of the rest of my jokes jumbled which didn’t help as this character needs to setup certain thing towards the start of the act.
An afternoon open mic

1m54s Weird how that line took an extra two seconds to get a laugh
2m15s Say it a little more excited
3m01s Change it to “so you don’t get along with your father?”
3m12s Cut the cabin location line
3m52s The line should be “about a slim, supple brunette getting to know the real you”
4m44s Cut the “all of August” tag
5m18s I should already have the mic in my other hand
Overall: Good for an open mic, a couple of the newer jokes need words adjustments.
An audition set

1m17s Frog in my throat
1m25s Talking a little fast and uneven
2m31s Good job pausing until the laughs came
4m21s Laugh for an extra half second a little harder
6m10s Could’ve ended stronger
Overall: Passable but not great. It took me two minutes to relax and slow down to my normal pace. I still got steady laughs throughout, but I’ve had better responses doing this character.
