Bob - you did good. You actually have more stage presence than I thought. Less jokes, more presence.

I'll tell you something that was pointed out to me during a radio appearance. Your verbal pause is "And uh" and "It's true"

Concentrate on not saying those. And get at least 1 more joke than Ball Gravy ;)

But shit, I speak in front of crowds on a probably once a month basis, and you did better than I do with sticking to the topic, and moving it along usually.

Good on ya!

Rock on Bob, great job! Left me wanting more, which is a good sign I think. maybe no more ball gravy though... I don't know if I'd extend that bit past where you have it. I guess it'd be tough to segue into non-ball related jokes though. "So my balls and I were on a date recently..."

Well done man. You seemed pretty comfortable for the most part and have a good voice other than the said uh's. Get some more jokes in next round.

Well done, Bob. Agreed with Loog on vocal pauses. Perhaps as your material builds, you can make it a bit of a running gag: "So I'm pumping gas the other day. Feeling pretty good... balls are dry..." But, as a few people have already said, stand-up is the hardest performing art there is. Good on ya.

Bob, you did alright man! Good stage presence as Loog stated. You look very comfortable.

For some reason I see a joke about maybe burying a hooker getting a lot of laughs for you, because you look like this nice dude that would never kill let alone bury a hooker.

No sound on this computer right now, but goddamnit, I am going to find one and give this a good listen.
So fucking cool.

Thanks for all the kind feedback, everyone!

This first time was done on a dare, and I really didn't have enough material prepared. I definitely would plan on coming up with more stuff - especially not related to ball sweat - should I do this again in the future.

I really do appreciate all the comments.

Big Dave Yoda Talkin' asked if I would also post his stand-up clip here, as he is interested in feedback, as well.

However...

his routine is EXTREMELY NSFW by every possible measure, so only watch at home and probably not in mixed company, just to be safe.

Bobbo, nice work man. You did get a chuckle out of me and you do have a good voice for comedy. Being your first time, you did great. I'd say you have some potential for sure and I can't wait to see what you come up with next. Don't put too much pressure on yourself as this should be a fun outlet that is more productive to get those self-loathing thoughts out than say, drinking or whatever self-destructive vice is out there that is easier.

Nick DiPaolo has a similar bit addressing the sticky balls issue….the addition of talcum powder creating a pancake batter, and while playing basketball with his friends he does a lay up and 2 Belgian waffles fall out of his shorts, etc. Yours is actually better than his imo. Pretty good, Bob. I chuckled.

I think it shows stage smarts that you did you bit and got the fuck out of there. Having been to several hundred open mics I've sat through many less than 10 minute sets that felt like 300.
