Late night open mic for music, magic and something resembling comedy

0m59s First minute went as bad as it could go
1m49s I gotta say something while the mic is being adjusted or everyone will stop paying attention
2m10s The first two minutes didn’t have any scripted jokes and the attempted improvisation was off
3m58s The only thing worse than getting yelled at is when the yelling isn’t directed at you
5m32s After addressing the loudness a few times, the only thing I could do was try to power through
Part 2

0m28s I’m not usually this down and discouraged, I need to learn to power through talking and ignoring without getting too affected by it (or to learn to get the talkative people who don’t want anything to do with comedy to listen to me)
4m24s If that gets a big laugh here, it’s probably a keeper
Overall: I learned that the answer to “how long can Ben talk and power thru a set where barely anyone is listening and most of the people in the venue are ignoring and talking over him” is twenty minutes. I need to get this figure up to forty five minutes.
