A Saturday afternoon open mic
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJmKoVpD1Wg
0m08s Guess my persona is effective
0m27s Speed up how quickly she talks to make her more annoying
2m54s I sound a little too angry, I need to deadpan without the anger
3m37s Change “get” to “use”
Overall: Just working out the newer version of my good material at a mic, this is a place I go to warm up
A small Friday night show
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6CUwQQew9k
0m41s Try saying “I’m just not good” without “that”
2m46s Tap my chest on “jewish” not “dating website”
6m31s Note to self: If there’s only one black guy in the audience, don’t do the “most applause since the acquittal” for him, it can be misconstrued
Overall: The tape looks a lot better than I remember feeling about it. And I was asked for my first autograph ever after the show, by the guy I made fun of. So that was awesome. Even better was my reaction, when he was like “can I get some autographs?” I was like, “Seriously??? Yeah!”
An open mic with 6 or 7 comics in the room
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wvl4k_ovSs
0m10s I was introduced as “the headliner” which at an open mic, means, the last comic. But I pretended like I was a real headliner by saying “clap it up for all the other comics” so it got a laugh
1m06s The background noise is in another room because this is in a bar, I can’t control or really address that background noise
2m52s Put more emphasis on “kills”
3m26s Try slowing down and emphasizing each of the letters in PhD
5m14s Do the model voice right away, not after the first line
5m58s I’m trying to reword this joke
Overall: I worked out the new version of my “A” material, I just needed to say it out loud in front of a few people
A music open mic at 2am
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pE9kWdAHWTM
1m18s I ignored the yell out cause responding would ruin the rhythm of the joke and then went back to address him later
2m55s Interesting how the applause didn’t start until 3 seconds after my punch line
4m12s I’ve found this is the best way to address the Carrot Top thing
4m26s I don’t need the mom character to always be poking
5m47s Kill the “disappoint your parents” joke, if it doesn’t get a laugh during this set, it’s really not funny
6m52s Kill the Fred Astaire joke
7m31s Don’t even say “there’s no joke there”
8m18s Such a random “I like you” it’s hysterical
9m20s Do the “I’m a stand up comic, not a stand up guy” line after the “actually love my dad” bit, not “did it get too real?”
Part 2
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8T9OxaQETR8
0m54s Perfect delivery on the last line
Overall: I love this place. I always done well and it’s an honest reaction, so when something doesn’t work here, I get rid of it or change it.
Doing a check spot for an audience of 15
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6XTqr-7Xtk
0m15s Not the usual intro, but I find it’s necessary for the check spot
1m50s Do a bigger celebration
3m10s Do j-date before the suicide stuff
4m04s Too much poking
Overall: It went as well as most check spots can go
