This is me back in NYC for the first time

1m02s Pause for another half second before “Igor loves this”
1m20s The “fooooood” line has been missing a lot lately, I want to cut it but can’t figure out another way to make it believable that I’m actually Russian before getting into the heavy accent
2m04s I’ve learned I need an extra pause there for the rest of the crowd to “get” the joke
3m42s Although it worked, I should try “doctorate” instead of “phd” as I say “phd” earlier in the set, and using different words that mean the same thing tend to extend jokes and laughs
3m53s Cut the adoption, pro choice and adoption agencies lines
4m31s You can’t tell my voice going on the tape, but it was
4m49s I missed saying “I don’t even know how to spell it”
5m26s Take a pause between “attend” and “high school”
7m09s Cut the “own girlfriend” line
7m40s It’s not a good idea to do three “mean” jokes in a row, I need to separate the suicide, new years and ex on the street
Overall: Decent set. Not surprisingly, the material I’ve been working on in LA also works in NY but there’s some specific lines I need to cut asap. And it’s good to be back in NYC.
