A mic with some audience
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DRcqOtmqWE
0m54s Instead of “putting pressure” it should be “applying”
3m29s Gas furnace tag might not be necessary
6m08s End it after “real sturdy belts”
Overall: So so. The dogs joke needs yet another rewrite.
An open mic with six or seven comics
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34e6DDPP784
1m09s Point the mic stand to the side, not into the audience
1m41s Change “intersection” to “overlap”
3m18s Cut it after “real sturdy belts”
4m05s Change “nursery” back to “nursing home”
6m55s Don’t read an actual poem, just leave it as a one line save
Overall: Little to no response but at least I practiced not speeding up my delivery when a room is silent.
A show for 10-12 people
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9tM4WHPplI
0m11s The guy before me used an overhead projector so I opened with this joke
4m22s It should be “you gave me a look like” instead of “you were like”
5m01s Pause before “I brought the pliers”
7m22s Good adjustment
Part 2

3m45s Have a normal face for a half second longer before scrunching it up
Overall: I had light yet consistent laughs throughout the set.
The writer’s mic

1m00s Get the sentence clearer
2m28s The child services stuff is lame, rewrite it
Overall: Weak even for a mic. Rewrite the dogs joke again.
A show at the back of a bar for 8 people while the Jets are making their game winning drive in the wild card round of the playoffs
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NamLeBE5-Ak
2m52s Address the Jets winning for an extra five seconds until the celebrating settles down a little more
3m56s I had fun doing that
5m58s It should be “I talk about this” not “we talk about this”
Overall: I didn’t do great but I had fun considering the situation was stacked against comedy.
