I had fun tonight.
Lots of areas need improvement, but I've added laugh-generating material to some of my reliable bits that work every time -- either (1) laugh starters in the setup BEFORE the punch line or (2) secondary add-on punch lines that build on or extend the duration of laughter.
That's all a fancy way of saying I'm linking more jokes into chunks of working material. A bit that might have run for a 0:50 now has two more jokes and goes 1:15. An excellent new 30 second bit has 2 more jokes that follow in 10 seconds -- sustaining, building momentum.
I'll post the video later.
I could list all the things I did wrong, but I won't. I know what they are. I also know what I did well.
I may also post the text of the set. As always, my focus is on the writing, but I need to change my focus to the delivery, the performance.
