The 8pm show

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9Kf4MNdO1A

3m39s Might wanna do the hand grab motion twice

4m40s The laughs were good enough that I didn’t need to acknowledge it, although it got a decent laughs

6m12s Go stronger on the eye roll

Overall: Very good set, (although at the time I felt it hadn’t gone that well because some of the laughs weren’t as strong as others).

Going up very late at a music comedy mic

httpv://youtu.be/rBfGcxhEop0

0m32s If one person laughs louder than most, I can comment on “maybe they’ve actually been a prostitute”

2m08s Cut the three career options bit

2m32s Stop after “no”

4m19s Gotta acknowledge if someone says vicious cycle before I get to it

Overall: Okay considering it was almost 4am

A 9pm show for 10 or so audience members

httpv://youtu.be/4zOlINfDmNA

1m07s Cut this part

1m30s Pause after “no”

2m59s Pause for an extra half second after “women”

3m18s Better but I can milk the kissy face for even longer

4m48s Do air quotes on “emergency”

6m37s Make this two sentences instead of one run on thought

7m43s More emphasis on “allergic”

9m07s Horrible forced crowd work, figure out a better interaction to set it up

9m58s Hit “bring it” harder

Overall: Okay for a small crowd but plenty of room for improvement

A 10pm show for 12-15 people

httpv://youtu.be/rzq6DYd1YGc

0m12s Use “told” instead of “mentioned”

0m37s Seem a little happier on the lines

1m14s Find a better delivery for this line

3m22s Do the kissy face for longer than is comfortable

3m45s This is the way to always delivery the truck stop / Denny’s line

4m25s Say “brunch” before “shoe shopping”

6m11s Step forward more on the punch line

Overall: Good for a small crowd with consistent laughs.

Performance Critique: February 21a

Going up 2 hours into the 8pm show

httpv://youtu.be/Dz_F4moKqPA

0m17s Great improvised line for when I go up late in a show, make sure to reuse this

0m34s Get the setup clearer

1m22s No need to comment on the intelligence

1m41s Make the 2 to 3 to 2 finger motion clearer and without hand movement

2m03s Try “no, never, go do your homework” without pausing

3m57s Consider saying cycle before the hand grab motion

4m03s Commit to the kissy face for three seconds instead of one second

5m09s Consider cutting the Notebook line, laughs aren’t that strong

5m47s Change delivery when giving the scenario

6m10s Cut the range and bars lines

7m10s Smile and look at the crowd while waiting for the MC to return

Overall: Solid set with consistent laughs, could still use adjustments
