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:

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.
