Performance Critique: May 12

This is me back in DC and hosting. Crowd of 6 people.

1m07s Much better crowd work then the last time I hosted (May 9) 

1m50s It seems to work better when I talk to two different groups then do some jokes, instead of only one group of people 

2m15s Wrong tone for “that is sexist” 

3m22s One thousand at a time is more like it 

5m50s True study, it was in a book on body language I read 

6m18s I think they laughed because they don’t look like your typical pot smoker 

7m37s It’s not a good sign for her career prospects if she only got the joke after I explained how bad the economy is 

9m05s I can’t decide if this is too much talking / setup or if it’s actually good when it’s a small crowd 

9m37s The couple turned and looked at each other. I should’ve pursued it further 

Part 2

0m35s The wording could be a little tighter 

1m25s They liked it until the last punch line, not sure why it didn’t work this time. This would’ve been a good spot for “if someone doesn’t laugh, I just assume they’re death” 

3m24s I could’ve paused a little longer 

3m45s I should’ve said “DC” instead of “New York” because of the location of the club 

Part 3

I did a few more jokes in between some comics 

0m25s I’m riffing on the previous comics joke about fancy wine 

0m50s I finally got people to move closer to the stage 

2m22s I should strum an air guitar for a second 

2m44s Punch line isn’t at the end of this joke 

Overall: I did a decent job of hosting and was able to do fifteen minutes up front without looking at my notes
