Performance Critique: August 31b

Doing the check spot

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9u2Z5Ue0Ejo

1m15s Address the one group talking sooner

2m26s Either don’t comment on it or make it funnier

6m43s Say “I know, right” instead of “yeah” to respond to “what?”

7m03s At least a rarely used save line worked well

Overall: Poor even for a check spot. Although the couple of front tables that were paying attention were laughing, I wasn’t able to bring most of the room in to my set.

The tail end of an 8pm show for about twenty people

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIkNyL3341c

1m43s Nice improvised line

2m55s Good job addressing the interruption and then bringing it back to my material

Overall: Great short set. I improvised off the crowd and the newest version of the “we’re not friends” call back is starting to work.

The 9:30 Show

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yA9Qav5ouiE

1m25s Always nice when I can start with over a minute of off the cuff/playing off the room stuff

2m20s Add this to the joke

4m08s Nice improvised line

6m17s Put 200% at the end of a sentence

7m05s The backwards dating needs tightening/rework

Overall: Good set, the anti-marriage bit is getting tighter, the stuff right after it still needs lots of work.

Going last 2.5+ hours into the show, with most of the crowd gone

0m24s Be more positive, don’t get the judging idea in their head, especially at the start

1m39s Unnecessary comment

3m38s Cut “full”

4m21s First say “oh yeah, well” before “I hate your hair” and the stupid shoes should be first

Overall: Weak set.

The 10pm show

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9tpTWAf4ZE

0m08s Say “thanks” first before getting into it

2m18s Head shake not head nod

4m18s Weak laughs, do a save line by this point, or call out something in the room

4m54s Cut the green card line

7m19s Cut “full time”

8m04s Pause in between each of those call backs and start with an “oh yeah?”

8m17s The poetry reading save line doesn’t make sense, and the previous save worked okay enough to end the set

Overall: Mediocre, consistent laughs but they were mostly small.
