An open mic

0m43s Maybe don’t say “stupid things” just focus on hating to wait in lines
1m22s Leave it as a one liner
1m48s Act more surprised to see him
1m59s Cut the MC Hammer stuff
2m51s Leave the joke after “modern day Russia”
3m45s Say the setup much clearer
Overall: Working out newer jokes, the yoga joke needs a lot more work while the others are getting closer
A 10pm show for ten or so people

2m59s If the waitress is taking drink orders from the table of six and there’s only ten people in the room, do crowd work until she’s done instead of working out the one joke I wanted to work out
Overall: The first joke and two jokes went well and there was dead space in the middle.

0m42s Much more effective version of this joke than last week
2m12s Rephrase to “what are you doing at a part in…”
4m02s Try “the newest madden”
4m48s I should say the donation line before the Kevlar line
Overall: Decent for a mic. The rewrites of the newer jokes are better but I still need to figure out the best way to do the yoga joke.
MCing my Queens show for five or six people
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DlQKnXPxgI
0m08s Make them clap again
1m03s Try “oh sorry John”
1m58s Kill that tag
2m11s Add in “elementary school students”
2m35s Should’ve connected the drug pushing with the Barry Bonds look a like
4m57s I should’ve named another Caribbean island and then added Brooklyn afterwards, like, “are you from Barbados, Brooklyn”
6m20s Say “some pokemon cards” instead of “a pokemon card”
6m45s Add “and we live in three different boroughs”
8m32s Turn in another direction and make it like I’m explaining it to one person before saying “cause she’s instant play”
Overall: The crowd work was okay but my energy was much lower than I should have as an MC. I should also have made them clap at the start to show I was in control.
Doing a spot two plus hours into the show
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiNwTOkDb0Y
2m06s The save line here wasn’t necessary at all
2m18s Cut the “important things” part
2m55s Cut the “yes we can” tag
3m02s It’s called satire, not sarcasm
3m53s I should find a girl and be like, “she’s giving me a look like, I’ll prove you wrong”
5m01s More emphasis on “never”
Overall: Mediocre. I was overly focused on the new voting joke and wasn’t too in the moment or having enough fun. The voting jokes needs to be tightened, but it has potential.
