Doing a check spot
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7t1Ms5Z1bY4
0m22s Milk the face for a little longer
1m17s Pause for another half beat before “it won’t be”
1m40s Say “disputing” instead of “arguing”
5m38s Good improvised line
6m05s Go forward with the mic stand instead of putting my arms out
Overall: The second half was a little better than the first half, but neither was that good.
Hosting the writer’s mic

0m58s Cut this rod line
1m22s Cut this responsibility line
3m53s If I’m gonna do this, I need to talk about my views of marriage first
Overall: Eh, working out newer stuff
Going first on the 8pm show
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ51R8y3WwA
0m49s I should’ve said “well your shoes are also stupid”
4m22s Say “in a box” instead of “in a ship”
5m30s Don’t go into this bit if the response on other edgier/meaner stuff hasn’t hit
5m58s Tilt my head up more
6m18s Have a bigger smile the whole time
8m08s Good callback to what the audience did before
9m29s Good job getting a laugh on just the look
12m09s Move both hands, not just one
Overall: The set was up and down and the crowd wouldn’t go with me on the edgier stuff, but I was able to keep bringing them back. I need to commit harder to the Blade character and make sure he’s always smiling and darting his eyes, regardless of the crowd’s initial reaction.
A 10pm bar show for 10-12 people
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmH6vCLmcjI
0m13s Say it more like a statement, not as a question
0m53s Push myself to make it go somewhere
2m17s I could’ve addressed his comments while in the mom character
3m21s Move my eyes more than my head
3m54s Keep the maniacal smile the entire time I’m in character
4m29s Keep addressing it til I get a laugh
Overall: Decent set but my two crowd interactions were weak.
MCing the 8pm show
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVwzogFJkt8
0m38s Don’t do that sound effect, maybe the effect of air deflating
1m41s Good improvised line
2m13s Nice segue into my next joke
2m45s Sell my confusion a little harder
3m44s This line could’ve been funnier
4m27s Nice accidental rhyme
4m32s This flows really well after the psychic thing
5m46s I missed a part of the joke, but went back to it later
6m59s Nice improvised answer
8m59s It’d be stronger to say “as long as it’s the only time you spit” instead of “thing you spit”
9m43s Hit “somebody went to Yale” harder and more sarcastically
10m14s After “trying to avoid it” add “now I actually want to know”
Overall: Great job MCing. I had good energy and good crowd interactions. There’s still lots of room for improvement though.
