About Flip N Funny

Initially, this blog was designed to track my development as a comic. Although that remains true today, the blog has evolved into something more. The FlipNFunny Blog is now a catchall medium to express my thoughts on any subject whether it concerns comedy, films, sports, or life in general. Essentially, if I feel strongly about something, you can expect to see my thoughts here. Thank you.

YUKS - 10 vs. 10

YUKS – 10min vs 10min
August 3, 2009

On June 10, 2009, I had my best set ever at Yuks. It was part of an ethnic show where I did a SOLID 10min set. Last week, I did my first paid set at Yuks by doing the 10min spot on Tuesdays. Although I felt good about my set, it came nowhere near the first 10min spot I did which will count (for now) my best set EVER.

In preparing for the 2nd set, I made a mental note to WAIT for the laughter to die down before proceeding with the next joke. I think I made the mistake of waiting too long this time around. I have to get a better feel for the timing of the situation. I have to learn to find that spot where the crowd’s laughter is BEGINNING to die down to tell the next joke. But I also need to be very careful as to not wait too long so I don’t kill the momentum. The two experiences have illustrated this important detail for me.

As you can see there isn’t much difference between the two set lists with the exception of the replacing Brown Medal with Porn. As for the pieces bits themselves, there was one minor change worthy of note in The Rabbit. Beyond that, no changes were made.
