Do You Change Your Material Based on The Day of the Week?

Yes and No. The weekday shows in the city I do are "workout rooms" where I try new lines or new material in shorter sets. I am working out material to use for the "real shows" where I headline. Weekends are for more polished sets. If I have a headline show during the week, that is not the "workout" set so I am not doing as much new material. Even when I am working material out during the week, I am still doing polished material as well, just not as much.

Friday nights, later shows, tend to be a more "tired" or "intoxicated crowd" while Saturday late shows are more "intoxicated" crowds. In those cases, I tend to avoid longer stories or "thinking" jokes as the attention span is shrunken during those shows. Quick jokes. Less thought.

Monday nights, especially at my show Stand Ups Sit Down (shameless plug) are fun to stretch jokes out longer and find new possible beats for the joke. Because its not usually a "party" crowd, like a weekend show, it is the best time to work out new lines or beats for a joke or just be loose. #standup #formerlawyer #comedy
