The 8pm show

httpv://youtu.be/6uIpf359Umw

0m55s Decent job pausing and acknowledging, could’ve had a stronger interaction though

4m08s Pause at the top of the circle

4m28s Great job milking it, that’s how I should do it every time

6m05s Emphasize “lifetime”

7m13s That’s funny and wrong

7m42s Good job working the phone ring in

9m00s Adjust before the bit mic stand so I don’t have to crouch THAT low

Overall: Great set, I was in the moment and material hit. Checks got dropped 6-7 minutes in, but I was able to keep most of the crowd’s attention anyway.

A 4pm show

httpv://youtu.be/-2GQDKpl_3g

3m37s Pause at the top of the circle

3m53s I could’ve milked the face for even longer

Overall: Strong set, although a couple of tags missed here and there. And I should come up with a stock response for when I mistake siblings for dating.

Going first on the 8pm show

httpv://youtu.be/jSdr_8U23Go

1m21s Don’t keep the improvised “brings everyone together” line but it made me laugh in the moment

2m15s Deliver “mom” more annoyed and with a pause after

2m50s Good job incorporating the phone going off

3m22s Pause at the top of the circle

4m50s Emphasize “lifetime”

5m56s Figure this out before starting the set so I don’t waste 30 seconds on repetitive crowd work and ruin flow

7m27s Work on the flinch motion

9m02s Do a save line, two straight jokes missed

9m23s Smile more with the dad character

10m12s Pause after dumpster

10m24s Rephrase to “comes home from the hospital”

Overall: Started out strong for the first 6-7 minutes, then really slowed down the last 3 minutes. Be more proactive with save lines and going back to crowd work.

The 9pm show

httpv://youtu.be/0cscmfO5Sns

0m34s Pause for an extra quarter second before “bake”

1m32s Weird that “maybe” didn’t get a response

3m38s Be ready for delayed laughs on that

4m38s Hit these lines harder, don’t go up at all at the end

5m58s Might need to find something funnier than “dad’s nursing home”

7m17s Slower on “then”

7m19s It should be “the birthday song” not “the song”

7m50s The “hope is lost” was off key

9m15s Good job ending on a big laugh

Overall: Decent set but not a single bit had EVERY line hit.

Doing a check spot on the 10pm show

httpv://youtu.be/enhkVaqaEvE

0m27s It was already loud so I decided to acknowledge checks up front

3m21s Always nice to hear an audience member saying “shhh” cause they wanna listen during checks

4m52s Hold the eye roll for later

Overall: Decent for checks.
