Doing a check spot on the midnight show for 9 people

5m22s Try not stepping on time delay laughs
5m30s If I’m playing favorite tables, I gotta tell other tables to step up their game
Overall: The second half went better than the first half
The 8PM show

0m07s Give it another second for the clapping to die down
2m47s Don’t do the thesaurus joke if the previous joke doesn’t do great
3m23s Might make sense to instantly respond “I didn’t even know Shalom, I was like”
4m23s This is why I didn’t address it at the start, it could throw off the flow of the joke
5m02s Hit the line snarkier
5m30s Good improvised end
Overall: Decent but not great set. I purposefully avoided doing my split personality act because it was a fundraiser show and those crowds tend to dislike edgy material
An open mic

1m21s Good delivery on that line
1m48s Good job being in the moment and calling out what happened
4m03s Make a smoother motion for my arm to get to my hip
4m27s Smile harder
Overall: Good for a mic.
Going up last 2.5+ hours into the 10PM show

4m06s Good job incorporating their response into my line
Overall: Mediocre but the new mom bit works well.
MCing the 8PM show
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIdx76im7Yc
0m24s I should have them clap again after that intro and before I go into material
0m42s Eight to ten people walked in after it started, doubling the audience
1m42s The psychic stuff could’ve been more playful and less aggressive
2m24s More people walking in
2m31s I might as well ask them what their job is at that point
3m27s Could’ve gotten them clapping way earlier before this
3m35s Make it more playful to quiet them down
5m04s Call them out on bullshit that I’m right and do a little more crowd work
5m28s Don’t do this joke when the better jokes aren’t hitting
5m47s First decent laugh, ugh
8m34s The guy got to my punch line before I did, the downside of repeat audience
10m04s I need to respond with a “you look like _”
11m00s Try “device” instead of “devices”
Overall: Horrible. People kept walking in while I did my time upfront and I didn’t handle it well. They ordered loudly and I tried to address it but wasn’t able to control the room. My crowd work was unfunny and a little too aggressive. I need to really work on my MCing.
