Heh heh,that wasn't too bad.good job

Was the audience paid to laugh?

lol@"I joked off on your face" ...

pretty good man! how nervous were you? congrats! :thumbsup

What da Hell?

Steve, saw the tape, looked pretty good, practice makes perpect:thumbsup:thumbsup

wow...respect...i could never do that

have enough problems giving presentations

nevermind trying to make people laugh...

Good job for a first! Pretty good material too! :)

impressed, unique stuff, google stuff was real funny nice ending

The jokes weren't half-bad. The act itself needs more work, but you'll get there. Overall, definitely a good first performance.

I thought it was terrible, but your sig is pretty cool on a positive note.

bravo, good job. Congrats!

Good job. Definitely well done (especially considering it was your debut).

You've probably seen "Comedian" and if you haven't, you should. It gives a little insight into the amount of work that goes behind the polished pros you often see.

Did you write all of that material yourself? From absolute scratch?

Thanks, I'll have to check that movie out. Yes, I wrote it all from scratch.

Well done Steve, that was fucking funny in places.

Ya let the pressure get to ya.
You are still afraid of the audience. The idea is not to care if they laugh they laugh, remember ya goto provoke a laugh by making them think.

Throw away the teacher's comic books they sold you and try not to rehearse the jokes or your lines. Just remember the core parts of a joke line, ad lib shit in.

Your stuff is funny though it really is.

My friends when I was working my way up with the guitar always said Mark its not your playing, your playing is fine, but you are afraid of the audience, you dont look confident. The only way to break this in an audience situation is not to care.

Thats the hardest part :)
Don;t give a shit if they laugh or not and do not wait for them to laugh, if they do fine they don't let it hurt your confidence. If ya hit a bad note fuck it, rip into the bad note and move on:)

Ya got talent though and I am not telling ya that cuz you are "Steve Lightspeed" I am tellin ya this because ya got potential to comedy man I seen tons of Comedians live from Chris Rock to Dana Carvy to Jim Carry:)

Lmao, steve I am impressed!! The best part of the set is you can make fun of yourself as well. You get a 7 for your first stand up gig. Don't stay on one joke so long in my opinion. stick and move. You are on your way.:winkwink:

i think the success of many good comedians was just that they kept on moving, think seinfeld and how the show just keps on moving think rodney dangerfeild short to the point, ever watch those comedians on comedy central that want to talk about their girlfriend and dog for 10 minutes, very annoying.

good stuff

you did good:)

Good job! A bit nervous, still good though.

now that you've got the first one in the bag, it will be much smoother rolling after this




and holy shit Jordan Capri on a pole is pretty hot, more girls should do that kind of video shoot :thumbsup:2 cents:

Nice job!!

great to see you are getting yourself out there and trying something new. The first few times are always going to be difficult until you find your comfort level.

Steve isn't bi-polar...He's 1-polar.... always Rockin' he never stops!

not even to cock block!

Hahahah aGood stuff Steve... I was your audience girlfriend for a while that was interesting. Like the haircut :)

Props to you for getting up there. That said, it was painful to watch and listen.

great stuff steve!!!!!! :) YES!

Very impressive!

Honestly, most people have NO idea how hard it is to do what you did.

So you did well with the performance and you did well with the material. Very great start!

"Comedian" will be well worth the watch. Listen to what they all say. There is some great insight and advice. See Jerry start over and follow as he develops a routine.

Do what they do. Do what they say.

You might also see/realize just how far along you really are with your act. Most "debuts" are total wrecks.

I would NEVER have guessed that was a "debut" act.

I want to see your next show too!!!

Haha good job! Keep it up!

very nice!

good job Im sure that wasnt easy

good thing you wrote the jokes from scratch most ppl here in stand up just take theirs from google

thumbsup

Would appear that way:(

best part is that you had the balls to follow a big dream through. material was funny, good job :thumbsup

haha good job Steve. It takes moxy to do that.

Good Job ....I don't think I could do it !

Not bad 'Joke off' ... lol Some great lines!

People are more afraid of public speaking than death. SO i give mad credit for getting up thier and doing it !

So that bring ups a the fact you are willing to take risks! I like that!


I also like the fact you willing to try something new at your age with little or no finical rewards is awesome.

Im really impressed!

Yeah that was very brave, mad props.

Im sorry I don't know anyone named steve jones, wheres the steve lightspeed video ;)

it was actually pretty good

big balls man...you been working out?

Thank you for bringing the girl shaking her butt back. I'll watch your video as soon as my eyes uncross.

Man, I tip my hat to you. That takes huge balls.

I would hyperventilate and collapse. That would probably make people laugh harder than anything I would say.

Hahahahahah, this made me laugh.
