The chronicling of my journey through the seedy underbelly of New York City's comedy world, the open mics.
Finding the videos of Stand Up
There are now 9 videos up. To find older videos of me doing stand up, go to the right side of the page where it says "Blog Archive," below that there is a list of all the videos and articles I've posted. Most of the videos begin with "Open Mic..."
VOTE
Now that I'm posting the videos through funnyordie.com, at the end of the videos you're given a chance to vote on whether the video is funny or it should DIE. It's anonymous, so don't be afraid to be honest, but I'd appreciate the vote so I can eliminate unfunny material.

Open Mic at the Broadway Comedy Club
I'm pretty proud of this brand new set. If it sounds like not many people are laughing, I'd like to point out that there were only like six or seven people there by the time I got up, which was at the very, very end. Going up last is a very mixed bag. On the one hand, everyone is exhausted from two hours of awkward unfunny aspiring-comedians; on the other hand, people are pretty desperate to laugh. Anyway, even though the laughs aren't overwhelming on the video, I was pretty pleased while I was up there with the reception I was getting, which is not something I say or feel often. I'm also happy that I knew the set was good before I performed it, because generally I don't really know what's gonna hit or not. Hopefully that means I'm progressing. I was also pretty much swear-free, which I think is an interesting challenge.
Also, interesting note, a 15-year-old kid performed last night and he was awesome. He looked about ten and he had shoulder-length black hair. His name was Ari and if he sticks with it he's gonna be famous. One of his jokes went something like, "I'm Jewish, but I'm so small I could fit in an easy bake oven."
