Performance Critique: May 06

This is back in DC, I hosted a show with 10 audience members.

2m30s Not sure why I went with a depressing story without a punch line… practicing improv and free association I guess 

3m03s Random line for someone to yell out on 

3m59s My hand motions should start from the top and go lower like shoulder, chest, waist. I went waist, chest, waist. It’s harder to follow 

4m41s There was a group of six with three kids under the age of five all the way in the back. They started nursing an infant in the middle of someone else’s set. 

5m24s I shrugged my shoulders three seconds too soon 

6m10s The yearbook line isn’t working, need to drop it 

6m33s Try reversing the order: “I get it, you’ll never dress up for me. And you’re boring in bed” 

8m18s Stop saying “bam!” 

8m29s This was new, I’m glad it worked 

9m15s Build up the tension with a longer pause and shift locations before saying “Really? Me too!” 

9m37s Need a more surprising word than “cardboard box” 

Part 2

0m24s I tried a different type of positioning for acting out the two characters because it didn’t look good when I was turned away from the audience. I don’t think I like the left side / right side act out either… 

0m44s Stronger “huge tubes” 

Part 3

This is me doing time between comics 

0m28s This sentence sounds awkward… I need to get to “nascar driver” quicker 

Part 4

This me doing time between another comic. 

0m48s Say “promptly” a lot quicker and maybe a finger snap 

Overall: I did a decent job hosting and was able to do twelve minutes up front without looking at my notes. The new online dating face painting joke is working really well, and the new facebook line worked out pretty good too.
