This is me MCing an open mic with 3 comics in attendance

1m21s First time I’m doing this joke outloud
1m37s And it got a couple of laughs, it has a chance of being funny after a couple of rewrites
3m13s Heavy sarcasm on that statement
3m30s This whole joke needs to be delivered sadder, like I’m actually opening my soul
4m05s I should’ve done the “I told my my that joke, she didn’t understand what was funny” after the “PhD dropout” line
4m49s Didn’t sound shocked enough about the fifty bucks
5m05s Ah, good old work-shopping a joke on stage
Overall: It’s tough to learn too much from a three person open mic, but I think my new joke about being jealous of women has potential. Check back on that joke in 3-4 weeks after I’ve worked on it. I also need to work on the delivery of “parental neglect” and “the morning after pill”.
