Doing a check spot
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ve_vLrcjxvY
0m52s Don’t hold the mic for this
1m48s Put a hand on the hip for the act out
3m23s Do a better drunk impression
7m24s Good call back to previous improvisation, even if the audience didn’t follow it
9m32s Let the “ooo” finish before addressing it
Overall: Respectable for a check spot.
A bar show for about 8 people
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VesRi8TKwSI
1m20s Rephrase sentence to “I have a friend Blade, who also wants to do stand up but he can’t because…”
3m40s Point with one hand, not two
4m38s Don’t introduce him again, just go into his physicality
6m23s I could’ve made the transition a little smoother with “my favorite website is also related to movies”
7m06s That’s the wrong laugh for that character
7m43s Find a better way to get this across
Overall: Ok for a small show. I need to find a better way to phrase some things.
An open mic
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGCJ-uYdBeI
2m16s Make better circles with my hands
3m50s No need for the “there’s nothing funny about that”
Overall: Eh response but good job going between talking and material.
The 10pm show
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1zE9xXkfJE
0m08s Four of the six audience members left right before I was brought up so I addressed it
1m29s No need to hold the mic stand the whole time
2m33s If I’m gonna do the head shake, it can never stop during the character
4m10s Change from a pointing motion to some other motion
6m13s If everyone else laughs at that, I can say, “I guess that holds true for everyone in here…”
7m11s Add in “this is the made up character”
Overall: Average set. Good crowd interactions in the middle.
Doing a spot on my Queens show for six people
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjGQzMhUTSI
1m45s Instead of “jokes he wrote” say “some of his act for him”
2m18s If I’m gonna do the head shaking, it has to always be shaking, never stopping
2m58s Good job picking up on it and going with it
4m52s Add “because” in front of “those people have class”
5m05s Just go back into him without setting it up
7m00s Do a better drunk impression and set it up clearer
7m43s Mom should hold the mic stand with one hand
9m32s Good call back to previous crowd work
10m48s There’s a stronger way to do this
Overall: Good for six people there, could’ve ended stronger. I stayed in the moment and did a bunch of crowd interaction.
