This was a 2 person audience and I hosted the show.
Part 1

0m25s Go with the stronger statement. Instead of questioning the state they’re from, I should’ve instantly gone to where I was thinking of going, assuming they’re from the same Springfield as The Simpsons.
0m32s Never give the audience the expectation that what you say isn’t funny, they might actually believe you.
3m43s If they agree, try asking “isn’t that demasculating” instead of stating it.
4m04s I messed up here. It should be “In the morning, I told her, I’m gonna do stand up about this.”
4m09s I messed up her line too, this is just a failed telling of this joke.
5m03s That punch line does need work. I’m open to suggestions.
Part 2

0m56s It might be better to phrase it “Good, you’re safe. She won’t cheat on you. You’re only in trouble if she describes you as ‘not hot by traditional standards’”
1m42s I need to be more forceful on “THAT should be your first date”
2m03s Try something in place of the children line
2m53s I keep meaning to get rid of the “Marry that girl” line, but for some reason it keeps coming out. I feel I need one more line after “really me too”
3m21s I’m really terrible at remembering names
Part 3

0m45 This joke was derailed from the beginning
1m02s But somehow managed to get a laugh
Overall: It’s tough to judge jokes on a two person audience. While they weren’t dying laughing, they were smiling through most of my jokes. In general, I could’ve been more conversational since there was only two of them.
