The midnight show, I got the check spot halfway through my set

2m24s Get something better than “Jenny likes this” or just stick with two “likes this” references
3m05s I love that someone from the crowd said how much it costs, with his date there
5m58s No need for the “good, no one “ohhed”” line
6m27s Pretty funny that I’ve said “oh, that was too far?” three or four times in the set
6m33s This is where the waitress started dropping checks
7m34s No need to apologize
7m51s We did hang out after the show
Overall: I had a pretty good first six minutes before the checks dropped, then I did some decent crowd work without wasting material while people weren’t listening. The morning after pill joke is coming along nicely. Talking “check spot strategy” with other comics, I learned to focus on the few people who are listening when the checks are dropped (usually females on a date because the guy is paying). I now just talk to them until I notice other people have started paying attention again, at which point I go back to actual jokes.
