An open mic

1m00s Use two hands for the different parts of the Venn Diagram
2m42s Cut the kegger line
2m56s This line is a keeper
3m50s Kill the whole part after war profiteering
4m29s Be more playful on this last line
6m03s Don’t step on the laughs
Overall: Great for a mic. I found the key line in the ID joke and now know where to go with the joke.

4m38s I need to figure out a way to get the math line into a different joke
5m09s Too unrealistic to get a laugh
5m18s At least I can bring them back after a new joke that isn’t working yet
6m58s Instead of “did this” say “talked about this”
8m12s Make a clearer bar chart
9m02s Make a pistol shooting motion

1m39s Don’t do the second part if they don’t laugh at “perfect” I should know this by now, and this is a reason to no longer have this be my closing joke.
2m47s Instead of “she” say “Jenny”
Overall: Started strong, lost them on a new joke, brought them back, lost them again, brought them back, then lost them for the last two minutes.

4m19s I need a little more set up for this joke
5m16s Cut this line
5m28s At least I’m able to bring the crowd back
6m13s Try saying, “the tight ones don’t groan… sorry to give away your secret…”
7m45s Make a better remote control
9m10s I shouldn’t go for the second part if they don’t laugh at “perfect”
Overall: I lost the crowd twice but was able to bring them back twice. It’s better not to lose the crowd at all, but it’s good to know I can bring them back.

1m57s It’s not clear I’m flipping through a photo album
4m08s Watching the tape it feels like nobody is listening to me, and I should’ve called it out by now
Overall: One of “those” open mics.

2m05s This transition makes no sense after the previous interaction which I didn’t finish off, so it makes full sense that the joke failed
2m59s The hotel interior should be part of her voice
7m03s No need for the second “I know”
8m09s I should’ve gone into my “if only one person laughs, we’ve found the real serial killer” line after that low reaction
9m37s Mean but funny
Part 2

Overall: I tried out a bunch of unpolished jokes up front and some went better than others. Not a great set, but I gotta do unfinished jokes somewhere.
