    Round 2 Rank in Stand Up: 1st

    This guy did honest material about who he is, with tight punchlines, and great interaction with the crowd. I laughed quite a bit.

    Round 2 Rank in Stand Up: 2nd

    David has a nice combination of simple and high concept jokes. And I like his dark side. And this set has nice momentum.

    Round 2 Rank in Stand Up: 2nd

    Doing comedy when there's something really obviously distinctive about you, visibly can be tricky – it's easy to get clichéd. You've got some good material about your disability, it's stuff that surprised me, and some really strong material that has nothing to do with it. Enjoyed your set a lot.
