Another weekend back in NYC

0m10s I didn’t let the drama build for long enough before talking
0m32s I’ve been playing with my persona by stating that I’m horrible up front to prevent the “awwws” in a few places, I’m not sure if it’s working or worth it…
1m11s I seem to be talking really fast, I’m not sure why
2m07s I finally got someone to laugh and buy into the set, sometimes you just gotta power through…
2m28s Let’s rewind time for 10 seconds…
3m52s I needed to pause an extra second before telling the audience try to think up something on their own which will usually be wrong
5m19s This was my first try at ending a set with a call back to a previous joke. It didn’t hit as well as I would’ve liked but I plan to keep working on this as most pros use this formula throughout their sets
Overall: I was talking too fast for most of the set and only got decent laughs when I slowed down. This should’ve been obvious to me right now, but sometimes I’m thinking about other performance related issues when I’m on stage and not about my speed. Also, I used a callback to end my set for the first time.
