This is the last show of the night, the 12am show. I got on right after they paid the bill at around 2am.

0m35s It’s official: opening with “I don’t know if you noticed this, but I am adorable” only works at a bar, not a comedy club
1m14s I started drinking while waiting to go
2m10s Two bill jokes is enough, three is too many
2m27s These girls wound up going out to a bar with me and two other comics after the show
3m21s I like the technique of taking charge when an audience member doesn’t answer by giving them their answer, just gotta be careful not to overuse it
4m08s Don’t say “third date” twice
4m27s The bombing starts….
5m10s Is this Dresden during WWII?
5m28s Not sure why I said that, no more drinking during shows for me
6m24s Pretty painful two last minutes
Overall: Like a relief pitcher in baseball, I conveniently forgot how badly I bombed those last two minutes until I re-watched the video… repressed childhood memories coming up next! I don’t mind bombing every once in a while as it keeps me hungry and motivated, plus it’s good to power through the pain every once in a while. It’s clear I lost the crowd at “love at first drink, huh?” The only frustrating thing about this set is I wound up watching most of the show, and I know I would’ve gotten a much better response if I had gone up an hour earlier before everyone came down from their alcohol high and started getting tired (I still should have been able to keep the crowd’s laugher though)
