OPEN MIKE PRACTICE

This page is mostly for me, my "comedy homework".  Because  I have such limited stage time, I study these to see how to improve them, but because I will be the only one using this space, and it takes so much time to render these practice sets as a video link inside Wevideo, I will only choose a couple practices each week.  Then put the rest in a spread sheet for my my reference.  Below is my spreadsheet list:

NEW MATERIAL: Tragedy/Comedy


First time on stage since COVID lockdown, February 26, 2020.  New material on the theraputic power of comedy, and how I use comedy to process some of my life trauma, like coaching Pee Wee Soccer.




JULY 12, Durty Nelly

My thanks to 20 friends who supported me through my comedy remix and new comedy. I question my strategic decision to choose a "not so dry bar" opener designed to appeal to an audience used to more raw comedy.  Moving forward, I will begin with "A" material, and blend in new material.
