Performance Critique: August 31b

Opening for 30 minutes for a sketch group

0m01s True story, the tape started 5 seconds after I got brought up

2m35s Nice improvised callback

6m07s Pause before “So I just”

6m56s Great job addressing a heckle and turning it into a win for me

7m42s That’s the best response this line has gotten

8m20s Don’t step on the laughs

Part 2

0m59s Say “I told you we’d get to the groaning part”

1m10s Add “cause she’s instant play”

2m07s No need for the “so drunk you forget” line

3m59s Good improvised line

4m49s Cut the last 50 seconds

7m40s This is a b joke, it needs a rewrite

8m32s Say the line more playfully

8m45s Too mean, no need for that

Part 3

0m09s Weird transition question, wasn’t even a full sentence

1m29s I need more bombing lines for a longer set, or more quality material

2m15s Good laugh considering I thought I lost them

2m28s I need another line after “shit happens”

3m10s The 57 point inspection needs to be setup clearer

3m22s Get rid of the brakes line

6m35s I should’ve gone to the second part of the joke about “cancel relationship” as I was getting more sympathy

7m17s I don’t need the “cause” there

9m29s Don’t react angrily, say it jokingly

Part 4

1m08s I blew the line

1m16s Bail out of the joke if a big punch line is blown that confuses two future punch lines

Overall: I did 31 minutes without any notes and did great for the first 15. I wasn’t as prepared as I could’ve been because I was just remembering jokes as I went along after 20 minutes and too many of them in a row were about sex. I also remembered why I rarely do my older material…
