An afternoon open mic

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYzgpjaIK8E

0m38s Need a better setup to get the audience invested in a 3 minute long joke

2m10s This can be done a few less times, start the emphasis on single words right away

3m48s I’m pretty sure all the background noise is from outside the room, or else I would’ve addressed it

4m08s I guess I addressed it anyway

5m03s Don’t stop arm flailing, try doing it the whole act out

Overall: Working out newer jokes at an open mic, not horrible but not great

The late night music and comedy show

0m20s I wrote this whole roast five minutes before going up

0m46s That’s a good one

1m18s I like how I said “seriously though” before calling him a child molester

2m04s I’m available to roast you and your friends too

2m58s Say “I’m looking at you” to multiple girls

4m48s Don’t go back into the joke after a long interruption

5m21s I came up with that on the spot

7m08s Don’t explain the pigeon thing

7m28s I should’ve said “I love that you end each of your sentence with, in Hoboken” and then done some ridiculous examples

Part 2

2m24s Don’t ask “what’s funny about that?” if people are clapping

4m46s Do a woman voice for this line

7m19s I need something funnier than “straight jacket”

Overall: I did a fun two minute roast to start and then had a decent set while dealing with lots of interruptions throughout

An open mic with five comics there

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geKMJedQ1eQ

1m16s Say “help her get hers” not “let her get hers”

1m58s The end of this joke is “this is how you walk six girls out of a bar”

2m26s Cut this joke

6m15s If nothing else this is good practice committing to a bit

7m55s That’s as strong of a laugh as this room could get

Overall: A room with only four other comics as audience is always tough, but I powered through and did my material

At an outdoor comedy show

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmOP8o5XRpE

1m40s Turn my head to a different person for “in the first hour”

3m49s That tag has been working really well lately

5m07s I stepped on a laugh at “no one would take credit for that”

5m31s Say “nobody believes me” twice

7m43s Cut the contract line

8m14s Instead of “go a little slower” say “take the turn a little slower”

Part 2

Overall: Pretty solid, I was able to get the chatty girl to be quiet and listen pretty quickly. Some jokes were stronger than others but there were laughs throughout.

An open mic

1m36s The runner needs better jokes, but I like how it looks and sounds

2m36s Do an act out of a girl voice for this

3m58s Add in, “it’s only 98% my fault”

5m31s Say this line more casually and as a throw away

6m33s That’s the host’s last name

Overall: Worked out some newer jokes. The girl coming has potential and so does the jogger.
