An open mic with five comics
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuCcgpV7Vu0
1m18s I wanted to try the “I just don’t care” tag, not happy with it
3m03s I like how I spent a longer amount of time work shopping a joke than doing it
3m32s Instead of “I did this the other night” say “I said this the other night”
4m32s This is usually how I talk about a joke off stage…
5m41s This joke doesn’t seem like a keeper
Overall: I made the best of a low energy mic and work shopped a joke while on stage
A late night prom show for high school kids
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_F3rK6Jx_E0
0m08s Don’t start with calling out the shitty clap, unless there’s a better punch line
2m21s I could’ve been more conversational here, and asked if anyone was going to college cause they don’t wanna get their ass kicked
3m06s No need to say that, if I’m gonna go that way, I should say “I guess I can’t buy coke here”
4m43s I went into this a bit too much, no need for all this
5m13s Change “sometimes” to “I used to”
6m43s Not sure why this big punch line completely missed
7m24s Say “partners” not “hookups”
8m47s Me telling high school kids the website for escorts is funny, even if they didn’t laugh
Part 2

0m24s Don’t say that part
Overall: I got some laughs but I never got good laughter momentum and I called the crowd out too much on being in high school and possibly not having had some experiences (once would be too much, I did it two or three times)
An outdoor fundraiser show
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czp3RiZqepo
0m10s The comic before me stripped down to his underwear
0m22s That background sound is the rain, the people were under a tent
3m11s Good job holding for the laugh
4m46s Get rid of “opinion on anal” and just do the “spit or swallow”
5m18s Instead of “twenty bucks” say “a twenty”
5m23s Good job referencing the fund raiser
8m40s Don’t say Jewel two sentences in a row
9m21s It might be better worded “now we’re on a first class flight”
Part 2
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPfOQbm_R0I
2m24s Didn’t need this last tag cause the joke went over well
2m52s Good quick reply
3m24s Awkward bail out of a joke, but at least I didn’t linger on it
Overall: Really solid set, I worked in a couple of lines about the specific fund raiser into my regular jokes, most all the jokes hit really strong and the ones that didn’t hit strong, I was able to keep going and get everyone back on track
An open mic
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XneAcqX_DCg
5m48s Keep the photo up by my chest as I do the crazed look
6m40s Don’t say “musician” again, just manager
7m23s Punch line is too wordy
9m03s Keep the improv phone lower so everyone can see my face
Part 2
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYs37Emt3fI
Overall: Decent open mic set, I practiced a bunch of older stuff and worked out some new stuff
Hosting my show in Astoria
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5VyExyThfU
0m36s Decent off the cuff joke
1m25s Pause a half second longer before “not all the white ones…”
5m24s Try “hair lip” instead of “eye patch”
6m04s Instead of “her” say “my mom”
6m51s Instead of the cough, just point to whoever laughs loudest and go “I think we found our cokeheads”
8m12s Get rid of “wine” and the eucharist
8m45s When the music gets this loud, I should just start karaokeing
9m20s Pause for another second before saying “So I’m in the market…”
Part 2
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgTgN5hAtzk
1m16s Should’ve started doing this crowd work earlier in the set
Overall: Decent but I should’ve done a little more crowd work, especially towards the beginning, I should try to pace it like: joke, crowd, joke joke, crowd, joke joke joke, crowd
