This was my Washington, DC debut. This is an open mic but it usually tends to draw an audience.
0m06s The seven audience members in the crowd came to watch one comic who was being made fun of for being in an orange sweater.
0m18s Making a joke about also being in an orange sweater and calling out how I’m before their friend seemed funny to me before I got up there because I try to call out any weird dynamic in the room. It clearly failed.
0m29s The look I gave got one of the girls to apologize. I need to muscle train that look.
0m47s Be more outraged. “Exactly! Fucking no one!”
0m51s Try continuing with “That’s cause everyone’s standards drop the closer…” instead of “My favorite part of New Year’s is watching everyone’s standards…”
1m13s The “she’s looking mighty delcious” doesn’t seem to be getting the laughs I thought it would.
1m33s This was a good save after they didn’t laugh at “even willing to go home with my own girlfriend”.
1m47s This would sound better as “You hate your dog. Even people who love their dogs don’t love them enough to…”
2m26s Do more of a Mr. Moviefone voice for “Puppies for Yuppies”.
2m35s Don’t go through puberty on stage.
4m03s The guy and the girl sitting next to each other turned to look at the other one. I wish I had better crowd work skills here.
4m14s I should’ve kept digging into why they’re in each other’s facebook profiles but weren’t together on new years.
6m28s Way for me to start stumbling over words after killing. I usually know what joke I’m doing next before I finish delivering a joke, this time I didn’t think about it until after I finished the previous joke, hence the stumble.
7m12s Figure out the DC’s equivalent of New Jersey. Perhaps “or the cops left me to fend for myself in North East DC” will work? Anyone from DC care to chime in?
Overall: I started out week, then did great in the middle, then screwed up the last joke by not knowing the local ins and outs.
