A bar show for 4-6 people
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQeE5qg96M8
0m20s Put the mic hand down and stare at the crowd for a few seconds first
1m18s Don’t say “like”
4m27s The previous two sentences can be combined into one
6m19s Turn to someone else for this line
Overall: There were a couple of strong laughs in an otherwise weak set.
An open mic

4m18s Cut the wood chipper line
Overall: Standard open mic response, but I stayed in character the whole time.
Going last on a small show

0m14s The music is coming from another room
1m26s First say, “everyone knows”
3m10s The jazz music playing while I say this stuff is extra funny
4m51s Don’t stutter
5m55s Cut the wood chipper line
Overall: Good for a small room, and good job not breaking character.
Doing a spot at my Astoria show

2m29s Say “fall in” not “be in”
4m57s Rephrase to “The only place I kill at is the comedy club”
5m35s Say it angrier
8m28s Say that earlier in the set
Overall: Not a great set but I stayed in character and even did a bit of crowd work.
Doing late night 2.5+ hours into the show

1m15s Voice changed, that shouldn’t happen
1m33s Don’t break character
2m18s Don’t smile
2m31s Don’t laugh
2m49s Get rid of “karaoke”
Overall: It took two minutes, but then the audience really started to like the character. I need to not crack up while doing this persona, as it ruins it.
