12/26/16 45th open mic

Yep, I read two jokes I basically had them memorized but I wanted to make sure I said them correctly.  The one about an incident after a Cleveland Indians game (in Cleveland) has always been a weak joke, not sure how to fix it.  Funny how short the thing is (120+ words) and how hard it has been to memorize.  The other joke about a coworker that we dubbed "mr. serious" had a strong opening and ending but the middle was blah.  I rewrote that one and added close to 50 words to it after I got home from the open mic last night.  I'm hoping that its fixed.  Then I screwed up another joke.  Finally I did anger issues the joke that tells you why if your mad at your father you shouldn't wait till he's dead to resolve things.  Overall a crappy set.

next week I'll probably record my set as long as I go...

unprepared

12/12/16

I literally threw this set together and really wasn't prepared.  I didn't work on any new material.  I trashed one joke a week ago since I rewrote it (home room teacher).  The one that seemed to piss people off when I posted it online.  Anyways I used a notecard for the first time in a couple weeks and forgot my camera.  So I did a bunch of old jokes, and my timing was off.  Plus I was short on the time for the first time in sometime.  The audience reaction was good since each joke I did is a good joke.  I don't think any of them were really long which caused the time to be short.

42nd open mic

11/21/16
So I recorded my set, I was really nervous.  The link below is the only thing that was good enough quality for me to post on youtube.  Plus, I have a longer version of this joke which I'm going to start working on soon. click the link
 

burn it down and walk away

11/16/16
So a fellow comedian from the Kutztown area told me and he had seen me at Lizard Lounge was at this open mic.  He complemented my material before and after my set.  Plus he thinks I should start going to Philly.  I agree, but I need a job first so I can go to Philly, Baltimore, D.C. and their surrounding metro areas.

My set was good, I'm done with using note cards.  I hope to get shows soon and post videos me making people laugh.

I probably won't be at this open mic next month (dec 21) because of a scheduling conflict.

So I have a trump bit, hmmmmmmmm what to do with it, after the 21st I'll start working on it
