A bar show for 6 people

1m17s React more positively to the philosophy major or talk to her about it a little
3m33s I should put more emphasis on “passion” to make them sound worse
5m42s Decent improvised line
Overall: I bombed and didn’t connect with the audience. If someone “wooooos” on a topic, I should talk to them about it a little bit.
A mic in a bar

1m59s Maybe try milking the act out of pulling down a chart and turning on a projector for longer
3m00s Try “unemployment benefits”
4m30s Try adding “and my new best friend”
Overall: Working out newer jokes, they need work
The worst mic in the city

1m39s Instead of “worth it” say “if it’s for something important”
2m44s Sell the heart attack
2m56s Say the line more confidently
5m08s I usually do this round of “writing jokes” when I’m at home with a microphone
6m25s Doing my closer just proved it was a dead room
Overall: No response (which is usual at this mic) but I found a way to have fun: trying my half written ideas out loud and just hearing it myself
MCing my show for five people

1m35s Don’t be quiet for THAT long
2m21s Good improvisation
3m45s Good job not doing a joke for nearly four minutes, I need to get more comfortable with bullshitting and improvising for laughs
5m52s Go back to just “plane”
7m48s Good job going back to crowd work after a few jokes
Part 2

0m55s True story
3m15s He walked two people (from a seven person show), so I had to talk about it for a bit
6m45s Do more of an act out on the cop line
7m20s Make it seem like a real heart attack, not a caricature
Overall: Good job hosting. The laughs weren’t huge but I kept the crowd engaged. I didn’t do material for the first four minutes and half of my upfront set was crowd work. And I kept it positive.
Two and half hours into the show

1m05s Strong laugh for this late into a show and with most of the audience gone
3m03s Go into it more, like do an impression of the audience member not laughing or something
4m08s I should’ve capped that off with my “how would you like nine inches”
5m38s We were passing the mic to increase the odds the audience stays
Overall: Really strong set, especially given how long into the show this was
