This is the 10:30 show, there’s 7 people in the audience

0m11s An audience member was asking where the bathroom was, so I helped them
0m45s That was improvised
1m15s I was more than a minute in to my set before I started actual material
2m20s The “when you’re 16, 3 months is long term” made me laugh during the rewatch
3m15s I haven’t told an actual joke in over a minute
3m50s I love how this turned into a discussion about his drink
4m08s My second joke of the set! And it’s one I haven’t down in ages and didn’t intend to over do again, but it felt right
4m34s Good instincts, as it worked well
5m12s Good job of acknowledging the interruption and then bringing it back to the actual joke
Overall: I did more crowd work than actual jokes, had a lot of fun, and got lots of laughs. I know if this was a 15 or 20 minute set I would’ve done great with the rest of my material because I was in no rush and had already won them over. This is how I need to be every time I’m on stage. It shouldn’t matter if it’s a crowd of 7 or 700. I need to stop worrying about which jokes I’ll have time to do and just be fully in the moment. If I only do two jokes in 6 minutes, it’s okay.
