Super late night (3:30am) at a music and comedy mic

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pk2zfQH2IJQ

1m01s I’ve had this line for a week, gotta try it a real show now

2m01s This needs an actual punch line

2m23s Before responding, add “and I’m like”

2m55s Do the right hand motion there, don’t go wide

5m25s Deliver the haircut line in a more throw away manner

7m46s Not sure about keeping the slogan

8m24s Jump as I say “cannon ball”

8m37s Point outwards on “most people” not to myself

Overall: Good set for the middle of the night. The new birthday material is almost there but needs a little more work.

Doing a short audition set

3m53s Nice when I can reuse an improvised line from a few weeks ago

5m24s Turn a little more on “looking over your shoulder”

Overall: Great set. Consistent laughs throughout and I ended on an applause break.

An open mic

1m01s Don’t even reask them, just go with whatever I heard

1m31s Be more indignation about not getting to pick the restaurant

3m17s Change the physical position between the lines

4m07s Hit “I’m allergic to nuts” harder

4m34s Say “candle” not “cake”

5m20s Rushed the end cause I was out of time

Overall: Great for an open mic, still need to get the words and delivery smoother.

Doing a check spot

0m10s Don’t say “thank you” until the clapping dies down, or else it seems like I just started doing material

0m49s The hand motion shouldn’t look like a stiff arm

6m18s That lines a keeper

6m54s Say “the song” somewhere in there

7m44s Birthday song is getting better

Overall: Ok for checks. It was a slow start but it got better once I ditched my “A material” and went into the stuff I actually wanted to talk about.

Hosting a mic

0m19s Hit the end of the line harder

1m05s Say the line without correcting myself mid sentence

1m56s Instead of “repeat over and over” say “tell me over and over”

2m32s Give them all relative names: aunt, uncle, nephew, etc

4m29s Don’t pause after “it wasn’t a haircut”

5m01s Don’t pause after “and he does”

Overall: Decent for opening at a mic. Need to get the new material to flow smoother. The two new birthday parts around minute three had a good response.
