I wanted to try my hand at stand-up comedy this year. I set an initial goal to come up with a new 5-minute set every week for 10 weeks. A couple of veterans of the local comedy scene counseled me to not come up with new material every week; they said it was better to find a single good 5-minute set and then keep polishing it. That didn’t sound like as much fun as coming up with new stuff every week, so I blew them off.
Anyway, the audio clip below is my set from last night at the Downbeat Lounge on Hotel St, in Chinatown. This was week 7 of the 10-week challenge. I don’t think it was my best set so far, but it’s the only one I recorded, so here it is. I set my phone on the bar to record, so don’t be alarmed at the sound of occasional drink mixing by the bartender. Cheers!
