Performance Critique: March 24

This is the place in DC I’m usually at. There were about 6 to 8 people in the audience.

1m12s There was an actual meeting at work where this came up and I found the logic hysterical. I haven’t been able to figure out how to get it to translate on stage. 

1m46s I don’t need to say “I actually want to get fired” I can just go straight into the “I have a get rich quick scheme” 

2m24s This can be shortened to just “from voting McCain” no need to mention Sarah 

2m50s The premise needs to be worded to be shorter 

3m11s Enunciate “horny” longer and funnier 

3m40s It should be “who used to be in the circus” 

4m08s There’s more to the online dating joke, but I’m learning to let jokes go if I get interrupted and just move on 

4m35s I don’t think you could understand her saying “fine” either 

5m21s This joke is failing miserably, I need to say it out loud to myself twenty times 

5m47s I was talking to a middle aged couple 

6m08s Say “it’s all downhill.. after the standup” 

6m24s Say the movie name in the beginning then describe it 

6m41s Now the audience is being distracting 

7m20s Try not to say “third date” twice 

7m47s That’s a great shake of the head at the other side of the audience 

8m14s More emphasis on this being the ONLY way to tell, this way it will be slightly more ridiculous and over the top 

Overall: Pretty good set. I’m especially happy with the way I wasn’t phased by the audience interaction (I won’t call it heckling because they thought they were being helpful) and how I was able to cut off jokes when I had to respond to the audience.
