MCing the 8pm show for about 25-30 people

httpv://youtu.be/ezdXumXhE5A

0m31s Don’t say “mentioned” twice in the same sentence

2m06s I could go into more questions with each person as their answers aren’t fully exact

3m40s Could’ve caught them up on my guessing game

7m45s Could’ve explained the averaging of years better

8m24s Say “all” not “most” to make the next comment funnier

10m47s End the sentence on “free”

11m37s Do a different save line if I’m trying to start the show on it

12m00s Doing time before the headliner

15m20s Don’t switch hands on the mic before “which ugly one” as it slows it down in a weird way

16m17s Sound more frustrated

Overall: Eh. I got laughs but didn’t increase the room energy as much as I would’ve liked.

The 10pm show

0m13s Could’ve made fun of the random unnecessary “woos”

0m57s Say eight seconds not minutes

2m57s Improvise without stuttering and get my commercial jingles right

3m14s This interaction totally ruined my momentum

5m37s It should be “how do you win TEN”

Overall: Good set but not great. I was getting big laughs throughout but it doesn’t sound like full room laughs, just sections of the room.

The 8pm show

0m55s Shorten to “I ran into a high school buddy”

3m18s Slow this down a little

3m27s More surprise on the delivery for “basement”

5m18s Let the laughs die a little more before “this got preachy”

7m00s Didn’t need to whisper

7m25s Would’ve been funny to find out her rehab facility and do a fake commercial for it

9m11s I missed “he’s like” before the “that could be kinda fun”

13m05s Not sure why I went into this joke here, I didn’t need more crowd interaction

15m34s Watch my hand as I make the circle more

Overall: Good set. I handled the two places I got heckled well and got strong laughs throughout.

Going up 2 hours into a show

httpv://youtu.be/7oNwLl35nHo

5m51s I could’ve gone “oh that’s the Sweden of North America”

7m02s I could milk the “oooh” for a little longer

Overall: Ok for that late in the show and after half the audience left, mediocre in the grand scheme of things.

A bar show for 12-14 people

httpv://youtu.be/9Cw8a-zwy8Y

5m51s “Shot at redemption” would be better wording

6m34s I can add “the rest of us are fucked”

7m35s Follow my hand with my eyes

8m07s Might make sense to change my hand posture to hand on hips first before calling them out, to sell being upset more

8m38s There’s a reason I usually end the act out after “forever, and ever”

11m30s It should be “used a payphone” instead of “prepay”

Overall: Decent set.
