Looking for honest (constructive) feedback on my stand up!!
I am new to stand up comedy and am looking for honest (constructive) feedback on a set I did at Carolines on Broadway in NYC last month. This was my first real performance and my family and friends say I was great but they kinda have to, so Im looking for unbiased criticsim from strangers. Things like, stage presence, timing, delivery, not "Amy you have a beer gut" :P. So please check it out if you have a few minutes and let me know what you think!! THANKS!!
My performance at Carolines 9/4/07

Re: Looking for honest (constructive) feedback on my stand up!!
Watched it all....... no thanks to Youtube and my pc having a pact not to let me watch videos.....but funny..... that face you did for "Bringing sexy back" does look like a girl on another forum i go on sometimes, and she does think she's hot....... i quite like American stand ups.... I remember when i was little always loooking forward to tuesday night so i could watch Kelly Monteith or stay up late after 11pm to see Emo Phillips.... although sometimes references to things insular to America i have to work out why it was funny afterwards!!

Re: Looking for honest (constructive) feedback on my stand up!!
HAHA THANKS SO MUCH!! I actually was thinking of some stinky feet jokes too. I was just asked to do ten minutes at Gotham comedy club so I might stretch that relationship part a little. Ive never done more than 7 minutes so far. Starsailor...you say you like American standup, may I ask where you're from?
Thanks again for your comments!!

Re: Looking for honest (constructive) feedback on my stand up!!
I'm from Aberdeen, Scotland.......... But i am originally from Birmingham, England......... yep i used to watch quite a few of the Americans Bill Hicks, Dennis Leary (although he was basically just a rip-off of Hicks) Richard Pryor, etc prob just the mainstream one's but that's the only one's we'd see over here......... But Emo was always a big favourite of mine
and i get most of the jokes..... but if it references American TV or stuff that we don't see over here then i am lost......... Which is why it amazes me whenever Friends was on and my freinds would laugh at every joke..... even one's they clearly didn't get.

Maybe because everyone tried to force it down my throat so many times and I just developed a bad taste for it. I love the old school comics too but there are a lot of new ones I love. I got to see Jim Gaffigan live about 10 feet away from me and I have to say he is probably one of the nicest guys EVER and truly a clean comic. There were other comics with him doing improv and the topic turned to "vagina". 
<----thats what he looked like. He turned bright red and he ended up telling an awkward teenager story...anyway I feel as if Im babbling now... :P
