Doing checks on the 10pm show

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A16w_VxR2f4

1m44s I should be more aware of not saying the “I hate your hair” to bald guys

Overall: Good for checks. Was able to do two newer bits.

0m38s Enough laughed that I can say “I also laughed” instead of the negative version

1m26s Make sure to pick out a couple when doing this part, or else it’ll get slightly awkward like this

1m52s Don’t go for that line after a slightly weird mis-end of a joke

2m55s Good bring back after the previous two lines missed

3m05s Should’ve gone to the mom bit, not this bit

3m41s Smile a little more on their reaction

3m58s Hold the hand motion for longer

5m17s Seriously, learn to make sentences

6m38s Sound a little a sadder on “another casualty of lost luggage”

9m54s Good call back to a previous improvised line to end the set

Overall: Very up and down. Some jokes/lines hit great, others missed pretty badly, but I kept moving, never fully lost the crowd, and ended on a strong laugh.

1m22s This new one seems to be a keeper

1m39s Weird hand motion

3m43s Nice end on a new joke

4m01s No need for the “laughing too hard at that” comment

4m13s Say “air quotes” not “quotes”

Overall: Ok for a mic. I did some older bits to setup new bits better.

Doing a check spot 2 hours into a show

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NknkD1guG-c

1m25s Sound a little more playful when saying “cause I hate your hair”

3m10s Sound a little angrier

5m10s Cut the uncle line or put it after the “everyone’s been” line

5m33s I gotta learn how to handle actual responses here better

Overall: Average for a check spot, some laughs, but not great

An open mic

0m35s Try to keep my hands above my elbows for the whole set instead of dropping them to my sides at almost every punch line

2m33s No need for that many F-bombs in that short of a time, pick one place

4m05s Reword to “I hate the suburbs because”

5m03s At least it’s a good save line

5m11s Don’t pause there

5m45s More emphasis on the word “every”

Overall: Weak response even for a mic, working on newer stuff
