Performance Critique: January 7b

The second open mic of the night

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDUron7WYNY

0m11s I’m in a coat cause it’s freezing

0m21s Even at an open mic, I’m trying to address the situation in the room before going into material

0m48s There were no girls at this open mic, so I had to play pretend

0m53s It was really loud

1m53s You know a joke is going too far if the comics are shocked by it

3m45s I was more focused on scrolling down and it got a better response, this is the funniest line in the Yelp joke

4m24s Two waitresses walked in loudly, so I addressed it

4m38s A better tag would’ve been, “so if any of you run shows and want me to try stealing the girls you bring there, give me a guest spot”

5m45s I almost never expect an applause break but I was so giddy about this joke while writing it, I could see it in my head

6m06s The Shakespeare one liner is two for two on the day

Overall: This went fairly well for an open mic and fully convinced me I need to significantly tighten my Yelp joke. The Shakespeare joke is ready for a real audience and the suicide joke needs to keep being tinkered.
