This is a mostly musician’s open mic. I literally waited over four hours before getting on and even took two naps while waiting. I got on around 1:30am with about 10 people still in the audience.

0m05s When someone is new to this mic, they do a “aaaaaaah” as the initiation, important to note for a later joke
1m01s Good job taking my time and not rushing into the jokes until the equipment was ready
1m28s Try to reword to “I’m just not that good”
2m38s Tighten this to “what it really means is”
2m58s Get rid of tequila and pillow
4m18s Try to shorten from “Yuri, the Helsinki Hitman” and make it “hire” instead of “call”
5m09s Get rid of “for twelve weeks”
5m19s I need “being on” between “remember” and “the plane”
5m51s First time this joke has gotten an applause break, I’m guessing it being 1:30 am has something to do with it
6m50s I actually like it when people groan on the first part of this, so I can hit “crabs are fresh” part harder
8m02s I tried doing this part as someone else telling me
8m26s I need to make it clearer when I’m talking to the other guy
8m49s Good reference to the sound at the beginning
Part 2

0m06s I need to add “if comedy doesn’t work out I could” at the start of this joke
0m37s This needs to be “glory of great abs”
0m49s I forgot part of the joke
1m40s For this character, I need to not move my head at all, just my eyes
2m48s I need a big arm motion on “tap dancing”
2m55s Get rid of the word “for”
4m52s That’s a great response by the audience member, I should’ve gone with “Li chaim”
6m06s It’s confusing to change the character midway through the sentence, I should try changing the character sentence by sentence
Overall: It was actually worth sitting around for over four hours to do this spot. A lot of the jokes need to get tinkered a little bit, but pretty much everything hit, and I was getting a lot of clapping throughout.
