Late night at a music mic
httpv://youtu.be/B0iqVoXSN2Q
2m59s Instead of “it’s gonna get sadder” could’ve gone “no, it’s okay because I was actually happy about it…”
3m32s Make one of the voices masculine
4m53s Don’t put hand over face
6m52s Good that I’m trying to write on stage, even if it’s not funny
8m05s Add “I’m like” first
Overall: Mediocre set but I did a good job rolling with the punches and trying to write on stage.
Going up first
httpv://youtu.be/xUpPamGW0Hk
1m15s Lean in harder with the mic stand
1m20s Pause longer after “I don’t pander”
5m10s Tighten this and pick one specific person for the batteries line
5m34s Do better crowd work if asking a question
Overall: Mediocre. The first two minutes went fine then I spent 4 minutes talking about why marriages are stupid. Maybe I shouldn’t start with that material two minutes into a set.
Doing a check spot on the 10pm

2m02s Make the circle motion slower and more deliberately
Overall: The two people who were listening laughed at most of the punch lines, everyone else ignored me more or less quietly while paying their checks.
The 8pm show
httpv://youtu.be/f54fchKneOM
0m27s That’s the worst this joke has done as an opener in a while
5m31s Do a slower and more purposeful circle. Better if it’s actually circular and not elliptical too.
5m59s Seem more upset
7m34s Slow down the setup even more
8m08s Try reversing the garbage and injury parts
10m33s Say “he’s singing the birthday song” so it’s clearer
Overall: Mediocre set but the new part about contract years went well.
The 8pm show for a light crowd
httpv://youtu.be/D6GEQRHqbVk
0m01s The annoying sound in the background is the heater
4m14s Pick one specific person
7m54s Say this setup slower so everyone follows
8m05s Nice when a new line gets an applause break
8m18s Change “hurt” to “injured”
8m29s Cut or rework this last line
Overall: Decent for a small crowd and a loud heater. Nice that the new part about marriages did well.
