A 5pm mic

0m25s It was a callback to something another comic said about me earlier
2m36s Change the “hate fuck” line
3m47s Reply “but we don’t think the same”
Overall: Working out the New Years joke, it’s better than yesterday, but still needs serious work
MCing my Astoria show for 5 people

4m09s They weren’t there for the show, so it doesn’t count as a walk
4m42s It should be “multi ten dollar” not “multi million”, I slipped up
7m08s Good improvisation, too bad it’s not reusable
9m40s Sell the heart attack for longer
Overall: Decent considering it was a small crowd. I barely did crowd work because everyone I knew everyone in the crowd.
2 hours into a hostel show

1m49s Deliver “not all the white ones are right” better
5m30s This instantly stopped sounding conversational
5m42s Get rid of the “clap if”
Part 2

0m27s Do air quotes for the word “passion”
1m38s Better response, “the only way to get back at him is for you to pick up at the show too”
Overall: Average at best. The New Years joke needs lots of work.
Hosting the Sunday writer’s mic
httpv://ww.youtube.com/watch?v=93QsiPY3fGQ
1m46s Do a much bigger smile before hitting that line
2m25s It’s not conversational to just go right into another joke, add an “oh man” or “I like you guys” or something
3m35s Cut the “clap if” part
4m10s Cut everything between “clap if” and here as well
Overall: Weak even for a mic. The first and last line of the New Years joke is good, the minute in the middle needs serious work.
A 10pm bar show
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNkagbPuQg0
0m14s Don’t go into material until the room is a little quieter
3m15s Add in “even when they’re mumbled”
4m22s Good job calling out the situation in the room
5m48s Cut the “clap only if” part
Overall: Mediocre. I didn’t get the room under control before doing material and I paid for that by having people keep zoning in and out during my set. The take away is, don’t start doing material until the room is (nearly) silent.
