A late night music and comedy mic

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CO5EVKStOA

1m08s Tease her more for not knowing who that is

2m35s This is the longest I’ve gone without starting with material, I should try this more often

4m18s Say it’s a bad thing for a girl, not a guy

5m01s Cut the pink umbrella

6m15s Cut this part of the joke

7m12s Make this part more surprising

Part 2

9m09s Make it an air quote instead of throwing up my hand randomly

Part 3

Overall: I was nice and conversational and didn’t rush any of the material.

The worst mic in the city

1m16s Neurocomedy as a punch line doesn’t fix the joke

2m34s Don’t put the emphasis on “kinda” put it on “cool”

3m50s Cut the last part of this joke starting from “comedian is where I fit in”

4m45s For the NYTimes try “cause I used to be a junkie and all I did was read”

5m42s I could’ve thrown in, “I’m gonna put my foot up your neuro ass”

Overall: This isn’t the worst this mic has gone

A mic

3m35s Bad joke, good save

4m17s No need to hit that line after a good laugh

5m18s Fix or stop doing the neuro joke

Overall: Decent for a mic, and I now remember why I stopped doing the neuroecon joke

MCing my Queens show

1m39s This needs a stronger end

2m49s I should’ve gone into a joke about the Army or had everyone clap it up for him

4m22s And this is why I haven’t done this joke in six months

6m04s Go back into crowd work because jokes weren’t hitting

7m34s I could be higher energy as the host, but I’m being nice and positive at least

Part 2

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E285S4Zjtk0

0m03s I should’ve worked this in six minutes earlier

2m17s This line either gets an applause break or nothing, I hate it

4m05s Doing time between comics

4m57s Say “relationship play”

6m15s We had an audience member randomly yell stuff throughout the show but it wasn’t heckling

6m58s Cut the pink umbrella line

7m27s That’s so random it’s awesome

7m44s Good improvised line

8m07s Good job bailing on the joke and bringing up the next comic on a laugh

Part 3

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9jgF8YJ5-M

1m46s Change this joke’s ending

Overall: I did a good job of staying positive when the show started out slow and got some decent laughs when I did time between comics.

0m47s Nice

1m01s When it’s hectic, not doing jokes right away got people to listen after a minute

2m27s Get the word “If” in both sentences “I would’ve assumed it, IF you hadn’t said it… and IF it hadn’t been for the great coat hangar attack…”

4m10s Get rid of “He stole whole movie”

6m48s Not enough laughs in this joke

7m28s I hate the Jewel joke because the end gets the most consistent applause break but it slows my set to a crawl before that

8m44s That was a good improvised call back

Part 2

0m19s I could’ve responded to her with “then you know how this’ll work, you’ll be like, I wanna spend the rest of my life with you…”

Overall: I did a good job in the beginning in getting everyone to quiet down and pay attention and the set went well
