Performance Critique: December 18a

The 8pm show

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4tYQczwaws

3m11s Nice improvised line, keep an eye out for someone in glasses for future sets

3m21s Learn to pause after “PhD program”

6m18s Slightly weird transition, give another half second pause

6m48s Don’t start licking my lips until the “hair lip” laugh ends, so I get an extra laugh on the lip licking

Overall: Great set but the New Years joke needs tightening up.

The 8pm show

4m32s That was improvised in the moment but should become part of the joke

4m53s Just hit “neuro couch” harder

6m14s Keep turning my head further like I did for the first answer

Part 2

1m19s I should bail out of this joke when it gets interrupted

1m46s That last tag doesn’t work, or needs a different delivery

Overall: The set was very up and down. There were some big laughs and some lulls. It needs to be more consistent.

An open mic with six comics in the room

1m05s I managed to do a minute that isn’t actual material that got steady laughs, I should try to always do that to start a set

3m59s It’s not one call back too many, just embrace the punch line more

4m54s Always nice when a new tag works

5m10s Cut the clapping part of the joke

6m38s The “sleep with myself” bit is a little forced in this situation

Overall: Good for an open mic. The New Years joke needs work.

Late night music and comedy mic

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGsWqljaAgY

1m08s Good job waiting to get everyone on board before starting

5m45s It’s actually 5 applause breaks and 1 groan, but that was a decent approximation

Part 2

0m35s Decent job going along with the audience member’s question/interruption

Overall: It took me a minute to get everyone to focus and they got distracted again towards the end but I had a solid seven minutes in between where I got six applause breaks. That’s respectable for a ten minute set.

Going last on a music and comedy mic

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSaWKZCalGM

1m49s It should be “only on Fox” not “only to Fox”

3m18s That’s a great punch line that acknowledges the crowds most common reaction

5m08s Good job “yes and-ing” his objection

7m22s Nice random side laugh

8m01s Change “like to be” to “are into”

Part 2

Overall: Solid job, especially since I went up 2.5 hours into the show. Interacting with the crowd and bending their responses to my liking helped this go well.
