FLIP N ASIAN SHOW #2
Lafflines – Thursday, February 5th 2009
For this particular episode of the FNC, I took Bullet. Aside from a prolonged portion of awkwardness during Fat Dennis, I thought I put together a solid effort. I thought the emcee did an amazing job of putting the crowd in such a great mood that I think that it was easy for me to do my first joke.
I thought Kamikaze got a decent reception, but I was able to raise the energy with This. Then the awkwardness came with Fat Dennis. The awkwardness was due to not really knowing this bit as much as I should. I’ve only used once since I put on the shelf about a year back. However, I do believe the joke has more nuggets that I can mine out of it.
Regardless, it took me a couple of moments to get the set back on track with Flip Commitment which I followed with my Brown jokes. This was the first time I had a sizeable Brown contingency in the audience for the Brown jokes. And I’m glad to say that my instincts were proven correct and that they don’t go over the line. The jokes are said in good fun and are not overly disrespectful to the Brown community.
After the Brown jokes, I was able to crescendo with Porn, Rabbit and then finally, Tunnel. I got HUGE responses for Rabbit and Tunnel. HUGE. It was a good set, despite the seconds lost during the transition from Fat to Flip Com.
Set List
- Kamikaze
- This
- Fat Dennis
- Flip Commitment
- Indian Swimming
- Brown Medal
- Porn
- The Rabbit
- Tunnel of Love
Time: 9.19min
There is one other thing worth noting from the night. The host, Sunee D., highlighted a skill that I haven’t really put any thought towards. I really liked how he paid close attention to the show and would open up with wisecrack about the previous act in between sets. I think that’s a skill that I should be honing instead of shooting the shit with other comics during the show.
