This is back in DC for a crowd of 8

0m22s Funny cause it’s true, I was observing her before my set
0m43s I think I was the third or fourth comic up and there hadn’t been much crowd work to date
0m57s I like how they said where they’re from instead of if they’re retired
2m12s This woman was pretty funny, and she wound up telling a few well known jokes later in the night
2m28s A comic before me didn’t do so well and appealed for mercy laughter by saying “it’s my birthday” so I had to make fun of him a little
2m56s I’m starting to learn to bail out of a joke when the audience interrupts and go with the flow
3m34s And then I tried to bring it back and failed
4m09s Funny cause it’s true
4m21s Seriously, what the hell is a moth ball?
4m57s I love and hate when the “my career is going places” joke works… I love the laughter, hate the truth…
5m37s I called back to a previous piece of crowd work, pretty proud of myself in retrospect
7m06s The downside of writing this critique 25 days later is that I’m not sure why I didn’t finish this joke with the myspace line
Conclusion: This crowd was disruptive with my jokes but having a lot of fun, so I just went with it and tried to get laughs where I could.
