Jonathan Kim Stand-Up Set at the Stand-Up Super Squad Comedy Show, 8/7/09 (WITH VIDEO!)

Here's the set I did at the Stand-Up Super Squad Comedy Show, now with glorious technicolor moving pictures!

Some of you might know that I've been trying out stand-up comedy for the past few months. I've only been doing open mics, but I did my first booked show Friday, August 7, 2009 at the Stand-Up Super Squad Comedy Show at the Fanatic Salon. My buddy, Max Goldberg, had booked the show and said he could probably get me a five-minute slot, so I took him up on his generous offer. This was the first time I'd ever tried to put together five minutes of some of my best material, as well as the first time I'd done a set for mostly non-comics and people I didn't know. The crowd was great and I'm pretty excited about how it all turned out.

nice set man i would only critique your delivery needs to be a bit more like your videos

that could be your niche really fast : D

and if not fast then just smooth like your vids

[jsjkim]

you're right. I tend to stutter and say 'um' a lot. Gotta work on that. It's a lot easier when i have a teleprompter!

Funny.

@jsjkim - Holy shit dude, I had no idea you did stand-up! It's pretty damn funny, too. When did you decide to transition into reviewing, and are you planning on doing more comedy in the future?

[jumar1281]

good shit... i laughed

[LegendaryFrost]

JK if you notice the best comedians usually are slow and decisive with their delivery. I also enjoyed most of the jokes even though some were flatter then a phillipino lady boy. Try doing your routine in front of somebody like Cenk first who will tell you when your honestly sucking!

The golden shower part is hilarious and true.

[SharathCK]

It was really funny. Just work on the transitions though

[Preevyew]

Good job! :D

For a beginner, if you are one, this is pretty good. Actually, as an official comedian you're pretty good.

Nice work, Jonathan - quite impressive for your first "real" audience. Hope to see/hear more!
