This is an open mic at a Restaurant Ball Room

0m05s I’m still playing with the stage name Professor Ben
0m12s I didn’t need to rush the “relax”, should’ve waited for the applause to die down
0m14s Too weak of a laugh to use as my opener. I wonder if I can get away with the stage name “Professor Ben” without having to explain it at the top of my set. This concept might get a bigger laugh somewhere in the middle with something like, “by this point, you’ve probably figured out, I’m not a real professor.”
1m03s Make a more dramatic mouse click
2m01s I was about to continue but one guy started laughing, so I waited and got even more laughs
2m18s Someone was being pointed at
2m25s Don’t say “trying to bare my soul” so angrily, say it more sarcastically
2m52s I changed it from my dad to my mom because there’s only a need for one character
3m15s Sell the “see me after the show” more before saying “I’m just kidding”
3m48s I need a better response here
3m55s Maybe go straight to the cigar-o line
4m23s This is my new favorite joke
4m55s No need for “yep” before “she’s homeless now”
5m06s I’m trying some extra lines after the ex on the street, not sure if they’re keepers
Overall: Even if this was a regular show and not an open mic, I did very well. I need a new response to the “son, businessman” line, and the new parts of the ex on the street joke might need to be modified or removed.
