This is an open mic at a hotel, LA is short of comedy clubs

0m22s I’m trying to do some in the moment work to open the set
0m33s Blackwater produces the show, and was trying to keep cursing to a minimum
1m11s I’m experimenting transitioning from explaining Professor Ben into different bits
2m17s I think “some of them do meth” will sound better than “smoke meth”
2m35s I love how one person is laughing his head off, and everyone else is ambivalent
3m17s This time “intolerable” didn’t work
3m22s My first attempt at fixing the need for a joke after “intolerant” didn’t go so well, but it’s a start
4m02s Pause after “triple the neglect”
4m10s Get rid of the belts line
5m59s This follow up didn’t work. Either cut it or add a third joke to it.
Overall: I’m surprised the one guy who was laughing and clapping at everything didn’t ask for my autograph. Otherwise, I was working out mostly new jokes, some worked, some didn’t. I’ve written a lot of new material in the past month, and now I’m working on combining and refining it.
