A mic

0m49s And this one liner is officially retired

4m47s Cut the “donate to science” parts

5m16s Keep my gaze in one place after that punch line

7m29s Only do one food reference, then make the second one something else

Overall: Decent enough for an open mic

Performance Critique: August 5c

The late night music and comedy mic with like 6 audience members

1m56s Great call back to improvised material

5m40s That’s a good line

6m10s Good adjustment to the glass breaking

7m12s I should’ve said, “this is like one of those ink blots”

8m22s That’s funny, I should repeat that

9m25s This is a fun set, I should be like this every time I’m on stage

Part 2

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uK2HSLyVHTY

4m35s An interruption during a list destroys the punch line

5m17s Good job adjusting to that

5m37s Nice save

6m54s Rephrase to “little known fact, if you donate a corpse to science, they’ll pick up the body”

7m26s I can try to take it even further by adding, “can I borrow some lube?”

Part 3

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAbg5IZy0tA

0m54s This is a 3am only joke

4m13s Funny

5m03s Good job milking this for literally 12 seconds, I should always milk it like this

6m02s And the bartender has started to play with my camera, bad zooms to ensue

8m05s I can start singing the Destiny’s Child “I’m a survivor” song…

Part 4

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ayu1LyOWXw

1m08s Good line

4m16s This joke is a lot funnier with a zoom in on my eyes

Overall: I did 35 minutes without any notes and had a lot of fun. Sure I only did like 15 minutes of actual jokes in there, but I was really relaxed and everyone was laughing.  I need to learn how to copy my delivery in this venue to everywhere else I perform.

Headlining a show in Staten Island for 8 audience members

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk8-VhZpPYc

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk8-VhZpPYc

3m27s Good improvised line / flirtation

Part 2

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyTUd_u-QP8

1m57s Try making this into a one liner that’s delivered like a throw away

3m07s Kill the “hategasm” line and reword the ending of the joke

3m27s Yes that’s too far

4m40s Try to keep a straight face on that line

7m59s Don’t step on the laugh

Part 3

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84DL_TSulSs

0m15s If I stumble on a word, stumble for longer to make it fun

3m23s Throw in another line to keep punching it. After “I’m a pimp, I won’t do that” I can throw in “If someone tried that on me, I’d throw her out the house”

4m01s Add “and I was like” before “Everyone in New York”

Overall: Not great, but I had fun with the tiny crowd and did 25 minutes. I need stop over acknowledging when things aren’t going great. And I also need to keep my internal thought processes to myself instead of explaining the psychology behind jokes.

An open mic

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

0m49s Get rid of “all you need is a bed”

2m27s Kill the “hategasm” tag

5m01s Kill the “lottery ticket” tag

Overall: Working out material at a mic

Performance Critique: August 4b

A lounge show

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIN1Z3XYj8o

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIN1Z3XYj8o

0m29s Hold the “what the hell” look for longer

1m12s Figure out a way to stay in the spotlight while doing the act out

2m45s Sell the modeling poses more

3m17s Change “Elton” back to “Jesus”

4m20s Pause for another half second after “Ugh, mom”

5m38s Rephrase from “drag people off the streets” that’s confusing

6m46s Say “he booked me here tonight” more playfully

7m38s This show asks that everyone performs a Haiku

Overall: Decent but some bits hit a lot harder than others, and I should never write poetry.
