I had some haters in the beginning of my comedy career, but I have improved a great deal. I actually work at the comedy club as a house MC now.
Some of the jokes in this routine have been heard (as they are favorites of mine and get predictable reactions from the crowd) and much of the material has not been heard on uber yet.
In the last year I have written and refined about a solid hours worth of material, and many fewer submissions to uber since my creative energies are directed elsewhere.
I'm not saying I am a household name yet either by any means, I am still write, re-write and edit everyday trying to make it sharper.
Constructive feedback is always appreciated.
(Useless crap is expected this is the intartubes)
Sorry it isn't on YouTube, but on myspace.

Nobody gets tired of hearing that someone's mother is a whole. Nobody.

Balls to you for following a dream. Great job.
If you really want to be funny and make jokes that never get old, go with the "mom" angle. Nobody gets tired of hearing that someone's mother is a whole. Nobody.

Nice pop heading into the finish. You seem to be at your best when you interact with the crowd. Good show.
And I agree with Caul on the body language thing. I kept expecting you to grab your junk and yell, "AAAAAAY!" a la Dice Clay.

i'm not sure i understand any of this with me being esl and your weird accent.
but if i can make a comment on body language, find something else to do with your left hand.
you often grab your belly like you're pregnant or wander your fingers way too close to your balls when your thumb is in your pocket.
still, i fucking hate speaking in public and i probably couldn't get up on a stage like that so props to you.

Thank you YourNameHere. I noticed those same typos after I submit. It was a little late to correct them.

The ultimate sign of a so-so comedian: Begrudging laughter.
"I'm kind of bored, but you're trying. I guess I'll laugh.
"Ha. Ha."

The quality of the video and sound was much better than the recordings I watched in the past. But your voice had an unpleasant, hoarse scratchiness that made it hard to understand sometimes. I never did catch what you said about Jessica Simpson's father.
I liked the part about watching other people's DVD's on the road. The part about accidentally ordering hooked on ebonics instead of hooked on phonics has potential, but I think you need to work on your ebonics and take it further. In fact, a few of your topics are that way: they start out with a decent setup, but they don't quite seem to get to the punchline. Viagara in Afghanistan, for example. I read the same thing. Yeah, it was a funny article, but you need to extrapolate and add something more to it. "Now, when the Special Forces come to town with blue pills for the Elders, all the underage boys run for the hills." Or something.
FWIW.

I think you should cover yourself in shoe polish and do 'Yo Momma So Fat' jokes. That's what the people want.

my accent wanders worse than Hillary Clinton's.
Plus I was pretty not sober. Not drunk.
The owner of the club called me about 2 hours before the show to have me come out and host. I had been doing my homework for school and not been thinking about my routine.
the accent you hear in the beginning of the video is a hybrid florida/north carolina accent.
I can get rid of it entirely but my material doesn't sound as authentic if it sounds like a radio announcer is doing my jokes.
/I +2 myself when I think about you
