I plan to market this vid as pornography to girls with hilarious fetishes
This is my first stand-up performance in a comedy club. I'd welcome any criticisms that you all have on timing, wording, pacing, voice, etc. The voice I used, I planned. It was a shaky version of my normal voice in order to endear myself to the audience. I really wanted my act to come across as a conversation not just me standing onstage ranting.
Wow that was really good! The voice was excellent -- it matches the nerdy stories you're telling pretty well. I think the timing was right, and your side quips are sometimes more hilarious than the actual punchline. The only thing I can think of for improvement is to not hang on the mic stand so much, and to not look down or over in one area for too long. Focus on eye contact -- I know it makes you feel weird when you stare at someone but try looking in between the eyes for like a second and a half and move on. Great job :D
