I can tell that if no one goes to your stand-up shows, they deserve a huge dildo going up the butt.
Why? Because you are AWESOME. Dolphin condoms and the trend of punching babies... best thing ever XD.
Most of the popular comedians can't make me laugh that hard man XD.

Pretty good for your first stand up, holmes
Just keep doin what you're doin, and with each performance you'll get better. Lookin forward for more in the future :lol:

Just stop stuttering and rambling after your jokes and you will be an extremely funny comedian in the future. Keep it up.

You started off kinda shaky with a couple umms and pauses, but toward the middle you really hit your stride and that faded.
Though one thing I noticed was that you tend to bob back and forth like a metronome when you are talking. I found that a bit distracting.
I find walking around helps with that, but since that was a small stage I'm not sure that was feasable. I also find using the stool to lean against or sit on might help too.
But yea, damn good on your first go. A little more practice and I can see you doing decently with this.

I love the condom joke and him fucking stuff animals

That was really for your very first time. The first open mic i ever did was no where near as good, I was very nervous and I was stuttering. It was really bad, and after about a year of doing standup I'm just starting to get at the okay level. But yeah like i said earlier your set was really good, keep it up.
-
not bad at all, look your way farther in the game than i ever made it, i tried one time and i chickened out, so i respect that you got yourself out there period. i will say this i love comedians, to me they are the best people in the world, but, only because they say what is real in a manner that is all joke. i've studied them, talked to them and tried to be one. the only thing i think you need to do is establish a style, find a good method of delivery, and go with what you know.
that way you can find some way of setting yourself apart, your best jokes were of course the hitting women and babies, the dolfin condoms not so much not much was said about them but that hey existed. i think you have a lot of potential and understanding. so keep it up you have the TGWTG fan support.
live that dream, i hope to one day.

You are not performing infront of an audience, are you?

Rollo man that wasn't too bad at all.
I'd like to have the option of german suplexing (a baby) across the room.

That was good man, I loved it.

That wasn't too bad, and got better as the act progressed. You probably realize this already, but you shift your weight a lot; either pace around the stage, or simply try to stand still and in one position, and you'll have a better "look" as you perform.
Great job!

I could never do standup. You were pretty good for your first time. It started off a little slow but it was picking up later on. I would have to say try not to shift too much because it is distracting and it makes you look nervous. Other than that, the more you do them the better you'll get.
If there's another performance, let's us know where and when, maybe the fans that live near you can give you some support.

Like it was said already, your constant bobbing side to side was a little distracting, otherwise I thought your performance was good.
I've visited several presentation courses in the course of my job, and one tip I'd like to give you is to stand in front of the mirror and practice posture. This can be the way you stand, the way you transition from the stand into other poses, etc. Keep an eye on your hand movements. You don't want them stiffly down the side, you don't want them flapping around like Stan from Monkey Island either. Holding an object in your hand (a pen, for instance) will help you in that you'll automatically start using it subconsciously in your movements. In your case, why not take a stuffed dolphin toy and use it to illustrate your punchline?
Anyhow, I wish you all the best!

11.08.2009 - 03:57 | edge4552Pretty good dude, really hit your stride there at the end. Keep doing it and you'll gain more confidence, I would drop the self deprecation though.
-
You had the most energy at the end.
That was because you could tell that it was almost over. So you allowed yourself to be more animated.
Be animated, be energetic. Believe what you are selling, and allow yourself the chance to give your jokes more oomph. It will help you push over the harder jokes on an unresponsive audience.

Its a shame the audience was so lousy nothing worse then playing to a dead crowd. Great set though hope to see more.

Hi RolloT
It's a good performance for your monologue and your voice, but you made a mistake that I hope you will correct in the future: you constantly swing left to right and that shows that you were nervous. It's also a little annoying seeing it from below.
You should learn how to stand still or maybe walk a little to different positions when you are talking.
Keep up with the good work!

that was funny man. definitely your type of humor

That when rather dark, but you pulled it off well. I'm interested to see what happens after you polish your technique some more.

That was fun to watch, definitely enjoyed it.
A general "speaking on stage" tip for ya: try to keep down the foot fidgeting (put in a conscious effort for something you're not intentionally doing). You're doing gestures with your hands, which keeps you from fidgeting with your hands, and I'm betting you're the type that speaks with your hands so that is probably natural anyway. But you're teetering back and forth from one foot to the other nonstop. Do your best to consciously put a stop to it.
Besides that, ya did awesome. I was kind of worried you'd get stuck on explaining that you don't actually hit women, but it looks more like you were waiting for the laughs to die down so people would hear the next part of the joke, "I just want the option, that's all," and that'll take experience, feeling out the crowd and figuring out the right timing with noise levels dropping to decent levels, but you can be happy that those noise levels were there, ya did good, and ya ended on a great note when the laughs were still up there.
