Hosting the open mic with only 8 people
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJHqbdJTpjI
0m53s Make sure not to confound “safety” and “safe”
2m21s Remember where the joke goes
2m54s Learn the lines
4m16s Try reversing it “not only wouldn’t she let me pick the cake, but I’m allergic to nuts”
5m09s There’s potential with the Russian birthday song
Overall: Weak even for a mic. I just rewrote the material and didn’t have time to learn it.
Going first on the 8pm show

0m53s Hit “we’re not friends” harder
2m20s Speed up the delivery a little bit
4m58s Probably shouldn’t do this one if the “last time I went it was 350” doesn’t hit hard
7m05s Definitely shouldn’t do this one if the previous few haven’t hit hard
7m35s And don’t keep going darker if it’s not working
8m57s At least this one new line worked decently well
Overall: The first three minutes and last two minutes were ok, but the middle seven were pretty bad. It didn’t help that I decided to keep doing darker material when it clearly wasn’t working.
Opening the 10pm show
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSLqsQRsdHw
3m44s Don’t stutter and don’t throw “ma’am” into the sentence
7m15s Sell the not knowing the right answer even harder
Overall: Ok set, the laughs weren’t as loud as I would’ve liked, but they were more or less consistent.
The 8pm show

1m24s He said “she’s my cousin”
1m43s Good job getting out of it
4m10s Good response
4m38s Great improvised line
Part 2
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebvT08ZFYjk
1m08s Good response
2m30s Literally just had a 90 second debate about if I’m using the movie title, handled it well though
4m50s Weird place to go into this bit
6m24s Say “my birthday” one less time in that sentence
6m58s Address that he got sad about my birthday
8m41s Do the hand motion first then say “you have that glow”
Overall: Good set with strong laughs. There was a lot of off the cuff improvising and back and forth with the audience. Possibly a little too much as things went to crazy town more than once, but I had fun.
An open mic
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuWds23jMTs
0m37s Change the tone on the question
1m31s Good improvising
2m24s It should be “everything is open” not “my taste in restaurants”
3m35s Change to “let me pick the restaurants”
Overall: Ok for a mic. Keep working on the birthday stuff.
