DOWNLOADING!!!!

[agent_PUNT]

The potential is infinite.

You have a personality that the audience gets drawn to. And they want to laugh with you. That's an awesome natural asset you have.

You'll only get better.

Nice work.

[CptPlanet]

whoa you were awesome is that your first time doing standup? because you were really good

You had good stage presence and a comfortable delivery except for the constant "Phheewww" thing. You did much better than me my first time, whatever that's worth. You should keep doing it.
You're a faggit! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA...







































...phew (by the way, that annoys me too. I'm such a cunt on stage)

[Rabot]

Now work on your material.

[Roddimus]

I love your energy and how comfortable you came across. You were very natural and charming.
Even if the material was lacking in parts, I still wanted to keep on watching. You definitely drew me in.
Good job!

[Tommy]

Thanks Rod

[klaus_kinski]

My impatience is forbidding me to download the huge file. But I will eventually. Having met you I can totally see how you probably looked comfortable and endearing up there. I gotta work, but I'll definitely watch it later.

If Tommy's stand-up is better than TJ's or Punt's I will be shocked. I've always viewed him as the underdog when it comes to stand up, even though I have never seen him do it.

[Keith Whitener]

That's what standup in a well sounds like.

Where did you go to do it? Club and state.

My material is about pants and pirates. I'm an adult!

[morgan morgan]

Good job, Tommy.

But when you're doing that Channel 57 bit about religion and Mass you should say something like "Why on earth would someone like me ever go to Mass? I mean, look at me, I've got enough MASS as it is. Shit, if I'm awake at 7am on Sunday morning it's because I finally made it to the gym! And if I'm lucky, I'll actually LOSE a little mass while I'm there! ...But maybe I should start going to services. Yeah, that's what I need: a little more church and a little less Churches! (*pats stomach*) And if that's gonna be the case -- if I start going to church, I mean... they've gotta at least change up their menu some. Seriously, have any of you ever been there? It's always the same thing: Bread & Wine, Bread & Wine, Bread & Wine -- every Sunday. It never fucking changes! Can't blame 'em, though. I mean, why worry about variety when you're only open one day a week, huh? Am I right? Am I left? Goodnight, folks?"

Not that you're overweight or anything.

(Morgan):
That paper I had in my back pocket... it's attached here so you guys understand how I went up on stage.

I had a general idea of what I was gonna say, but I didn't have a "script". I didn't want it to sound forced. I trusted myself enough that I had the talent to be able to take my ideas and express them, live on stage. Even when I forgot where I was going, I made it into something funny, "Where am I going with this? I have weird sexual experiences, thank you, good night"

But again, I'm not saying everything was great. My jokes needed to be worked out more. Normal comics do small venues to work out material, and use the best for their big gigs. This was me working out jokes and playing my big gig.

My own analysis of myself:

I need to work on transitions
I need to stop saying "phew" so much
I need to work the crowd a little better
I need to learn how to recover from a bomb a bit better
I need to, on my cheat sheet, keep bullet points of things to say, under the title


There ya go.

[Tommy]

Oh, by the way, there was one thing that made ME laugh (while on stage and while watching it). It was the one thing that I riffed and it came out classicly -- "I've had a lot of sexual experiences... despite my appearence".

I think I nailed the delivery on that.

[CptPlanet]

hey heres a copy of my set list

i can't figure out why i bombed :/

[Tommy]

I didn't realize you performed in front of everyone on the street when you came to New York.

I owe you a long overdue applause for your peformance.

[morgan morgan]

When the couple was walking out during your ass-eating bit and someone in the audience said that you just gave them an idea, that made me laugh. So here's something you can add to your list:

Don't allow the audience to be funnier than you.

[Dart Shitter]

can anyone help me with viewing this instead of the scribbely im getting now?

[Kelsy]

TOMMY. It worked. The video, that is. I think you did great.

[5InchTaint]

Edited.

[Brain Stew]

Considering that it was your first time, I'd say you did well. I certainly wouldn't be able to do that well.

Work on the material a little bit, and you'll be great.

Tommy, you did a great job.

Next time, do a bit about ShopWavePCs.com. Talk about how you ordered something from the site, and as much as you'd like to complain about it, the service was quite excellent. Then recommend it to the audience.

[klaus_kinski]

Tommy, I bled like crazy my first time.

[Pali]

Good stuff, Tommy.

[I'm Not Funny]

There used to be a ton of fun places in staten island that used to do what martini red is doing.... the people running that open mic are the guys to talk to about starting that up again at other places like dock street, adobe blues, starbucks( j.k, which is aol for juicy knishes)

I really like the ctv-i bit-- it would be great if you could generate a charcter for a skit who has the highest ctv-i score and dedicates his life to it. No?

I think the funniest, long running, establishment on Staten Island cable is the Joey G's video show. If you dont know it, it's on on Sundays at four.

Hang out with terrible tim more often and youll pick up on his mannerisms..represent brother...he's truly funny without being deliberate... also, his house(if you ever get a chance to go to one of his nitrous oxide parties), as well as himself, is reminiscent of buffalo bills from that of siulence of the lambs..

try not to get killed

i wanna get blunted
so break out the blunts

I should have recorded last night when I was 150% better.

OH and... what the hell? Who are you!?!?

[I'm Not Funny]

Everyone on this site is so warm and christmas-timey?

sorry for trying to make conversation....i'll go hang my self because of my small message board penis

[Tommy]

Sorry -- my shock and awe was over you knowing Staten Island. These folks 'round here don't know much about my neck of the woods.

Ya reckon?

[I'm Not Funny]

staten island is an interesting place to grow up. like, god ive avoided being beat up by a bunch of guidos and mobsters-- have even made friends with some of them. now, if only the alt-comedy message board guys would treat nice.

[5InchTaint]

I can't believe I removed all the shit I did. I made a little audio thing of all of his fuckups. Oh well.
