0m12s This is a comment on the previous comic’s material and response

0m18s It took 3 lines of comments to get a huge laugh on this topic

1m05s The slower I go, the more laughs it gets

2m10s I tried changing the order of the Russian family material

3m29s Look sad for another second

4m30s I should only do the suicide joke after a joke where I kill

4m55s I lost the crowd, although calling them out on it helped for half a second

5m22s I need to say this in more of a question tone

5m48s I couldn’t help that one, it did get a laugh

6m10s Nice “forehead sweat” response

6m29s Get rid of the word “are”

7m28s I need to know to get out of this joke if the first couple of lines don’t hit

7m58s I should’ve tried the old “I’ll leave you on something funny… thank you”

Overall: I did better than I remember doing. I started really strong and ended really poorly, but was getting consistent laughs for 7 of 8 minutes. I need more material that makes me vulnerable because when one of my “edgier” jokes doesn’t hit, I can’t go to another edgy joke, as it’ll really lose the crowd. (This is what happened when I went from suicidal girls to jdate to new years.)
